Prince Charles Cinema

But yeah, great, great piece of cinema.

I went to a fantasy all-nighter at the Prince Charles Cinema about 10 years ago.

And they opened with Labyrinth.

Then they played Return to Oz.

And how about you?

I did see one of the Prince Charles Cinema's one pound screens, and they showed a film called Rancho Deluxe by Frank Perry, which is a film I'm, uh, I'm, I'm aware of, but I haven't really been exposed to his work.

Uh, this is kind of a very loose hangout cowboy film, but it's a kind of cowboy film in a 1970s New Hollywood style, in a sense that there's like...

It's under the veneer of naturalism and kind of a more grounded state of affairs, but the mythology of the cowboy is no longer there.

Like, Laura and I's dream... is to run a cinema, and my secondary dream to that is to have a video rental service attached to the cinema, because I've always wanted to work in a video shop.

But the amount of things where it's like, why not just do this? Why doesn't every cinema just do the Prince Charles? How the fuck does the Prince Charles survive? Oh, does it just do exactly the thing that everyone wants? Yeah.

You go downstairs, you go on the blackboard, I'd like to see Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

If enough people are loud about it, they'll get it.

Whereas places like Vue don't do that, but they have like cheap tickets on at certain times.

There is, in terms of favorite kind of cinema, I'm going to say the answer I always say, which is BFI IMAX, Peach House Central, Prince Charles Cinema.

Yeah, I

think that's great.

weird Do you know what? I often think about this, my dream double or triple bills that I could program.

If someone put me in charge of programming a really cool, slightly niche triple or double bill at Prince Charles Cinema, what I would do...

I would love to throw in, like, Taxi Driver after hours and this as a triple bill.

I think that would be so sick.

like it was a standard Hollywood movie.

They premiered it at the Prince Charles Theater.

They did big blow-ups of the monsters' faces, and they treated it like it was the Poseidon Adventure.

You know what I mean? And it was second only to E.T.

So that would have been like...

I know the Prince Charles Cinema in London does screenings quite a lot.

I would love to watch that with a full audience.

Yeah, I must say, actually, that's a good shot.
