Geoff JonesHOST
that what it is? Yeah.
Geoff JonesHOST
So there's a couple of those.

Yeah.
Geoff JonesHOST
Odeon, View.
Geoff JonesHOST

Geoff JonesHOST
Yeah.
David HellardHOST
I
Jody RaynsfordHOST
went to, I went to, I didn't realise that Odeon's had been upgraded.
Jody RaynsfordHOST
We were in Bristol and we were thinking of going to the cinema in the evening and they've got these Odeon Lux cinemas, which basically means that you have various gradations of reclining your seat and to a point where you can actually be laying on a bed.
Jody RaynsfordHOST
Oh,
David HellardHOST
that is what I want.
Stanley Matthews Jr.GUEST
Yeah.
Stanley Matthews Jr.GUEST
It was the Odeon Cinema in Blackpool.
Stanley Matthews Jr.GUEST
I'll give them a plug.
Stanley Matthews Jr.GUEST
I don't know whether they're still in business.
Kyle MacFarlaneHOST
Yes, hence the extended winter break.
Cliff BaileyHOST
However, a cinema that is due to reopen with heating, we hope, is The Regal Dumfries, which has had a few names but closed as The Odeon in the 2010s.
Cliff BaileyHOST
We're delighted to be welcoming back Tristan Campbell and Joe Bailey, the team behind resurrecting that cinema.
Cliff BaileyHOST
They joined us previously in November last year in an episode entitled Leathered with Maltesers, so there'll be plenty to catch up on after we remind ourselves of why we do all this.
9 MINS LATER
Cliff BaileyHOST
We know exactly what that is.
Cliff BaileyHOST
It's basically the curtains that cover the screen.
Kyle MacFarlaneHOST
a couple other amazing little things as well because i you know i'd never seen any photographs really of it inside you know there's there wasn't really many photos in circulation of what it looked like inside i think you've maybe said that yourself it was a really lovely surprise when you went walked in for the first time everything was still basically exactly as you would have expected it when it closed but things like the old lions made advertisement and that was brilliant, I can't believe you've still got things like that and the original 35mm rewind crank still had reels on them as well it did look like from those photos that the Odeon staff did just lock the door and leave and you guys are the first to walk in since, I suppose that's literally what happened but it was encouraging to see just how much was left and all these really interesting little bits and pieces that you've been finding about the place
Tristan CampbellGUEST
Yeah, they are little bits.
Tom Rhys HarriesGUEST
And I was like, there's like four of us.
Tom Rhys HarriesGUEST
I was like, boys... unbelievably there's four seats left in the cinema and they're right at the back of the auditorium and then we're like tight so we go to Leicester Square I want to say Cineworld or Odeon Cineworld I think and in one of the IMAX screens opening weekend we're there and we pull up and I've got the orientation of the seating wrong on my phone so we're in the front row and I'm like full you know Killian's nose sorry I'm looking into his brain
Brandon DavisHOST
oh what if that movie for three hours in the front row you're gonna get a stiff neck yeah
speaker_6ADVERTISER
literally get blown away by the explosion
Derren BrownHOST
Well, in Houdini's version of events, shortly after disembarking on British soil, he made his way to the Alhambra Theatre in Leicester Square.
Derren BrownHOST
It's now home to an Odeon cinema, but at the time it was known as the mecca for variety performers.
Derren BrownHOST
Handcuff acts weren't new to its manager, Dundas Slater, but Slater humoured the brash American and said, ''If you can get out of the cuffs down at Scotland Yard, young fellow, ''I might be interested in signing you on for a fortnight.'' This was a challenge, Houdini's meat.
Derren BrownHOST
So Houdini dragged Slater along to Scotland Yard and challenged the officer in charge, a man called William Melville, to lock him in their most secure cuffs.
Tom HiddlestonGUEST
One of them actually was Jurassic Park.
Tom HiddlestonGUEST
Do you remember where you were? Yeah, I was at the Odeon Cinema on Magdalen Street in Oxford.
Tom HiddlestonGUEST
Wow.
Tom HiddlestonGUEST
Like opening week, I begged my parents to take me to see it.
DarrenHOST
Nearly made it.
DarrenHOST
It's the Odeon Cinema's film survey, by the way.
DarrenHOST
Olivia, thank you so much for your time.
DarrenHOST
Olivia Fahy, founder of Press Play with Olivia and entertainment journalist.
Kevin MarkwickHOST
These are bad, terrible conversions that they did.
Kevin MarkwickHOST
But it was still ABC and Odeon dominated all the way through the 70s.
Mike BradburyHOST
Yeah.
Mike BradburyHOST
Rank.
Scott TailfordHOST
I, I only now go on a Monday.
Scott TailfordHOST
Odeon's, I'm not sponsored by them, but on, on Monday they have Saver Day or whatever the hell it's called.
Josh BrownHOST
I'd like them to sponsor us, so-
Scott TailfordHOST
They'd be cool
Josh BrownHOST
they should get in touch, yeah.
Scott TailfordHOST
Yeah.
Scott TailfordHOST
If you want, yeah, if anyone around the world who knows someone from Odeon, Mr. Odeon, would like to get in touch and sponsor a video game podcast for movies, please feel free.
Scott TailfordHOST
Uh, we'll take a popcorn sponsorship as well.
