Joshua GrannellGUEST
And right now I'm struggling with...
Joshua GrannellGUEST
San Francisco and kind of realizing that so much of what I need to do here to have the size of shows like a show like Terror Vault, where it's an immersive horror show that I do at the old San Francisco Mint, to make it interesting and exciting for me means that we will probably never have the corporate sponsorship That, for example, you need if you're doing, oh, God, what's the great London immersive theater company that did? Well, there was the Secret Cinema, right? Then there was the is it Punch Drunk who did? Yeah.
Joshua GrannellGUEST
You know, so, you know, I went to Punch Drunk for a city in London a few years ago.
Joshua GrannellGUEST
And Jaguar was the you know, the car company was the big the big logo that was at the top of their logo.
BastiHOST
And I also think that's the reason why immersive theater and escape rooms have never really combined in the Western world.
BastiHOST
We have things like Secret Cinema and so on that were able to break it into a commercial state, but only by letting... hundreds of people into the venue at the same time.
BastiHOST
And I think that's, like, really the things that I think is really interesting.
BastiHOST
Like, we have a little bit about Magic Universe probably tries in Madrid right now, which is also a little bit more immersive theater and more acting and more
BenHOST
it never looked like chocolate it's just like it was never it was just like literally dirty water you look like the thames actually
CharlieHOST
i thought though this this film would have been a really good or it still could be a really good secret cinema like if they'd done it properly so you know like we had the greece one so imagine like you walk through and there'll be the big chocolate bit and then you get on a boat or whatever yeah loads of sweets everywhere yeah loads of sweets everywhere but obviously they'd say okay but obviously do not try and drink any of the water and the river and these things are edible and these aren't yeah
BenHOST
but they wouldn't have all edible stuff there because people would just be eating it all But it would look edible.
BenHOST
And apparently a lot of the candy was edible.
James RowellGUEST
But definitely the word immersive.
James RowellGUEST
For me, it pains me that when people say immersive and it's just not done properly because we know immersive and we're very much into like Punch Drunk, Secret Cinema, who all do it brilliantly.
James RowellGUEST
But there's so many people out there that are like, it's immersive, it's immersive.
James RowellGUEST
And they've tagged this buzzword onto it, but they're not actually doing it properly.
Gary HewittHOST
It helps more people find us.
Gary HewittHOST
Join us at our next Secret Cinema on Sunday the 18th of October.
Gary HewittHOST
So it's not going to be the end of the month, it's going to be mid-month so that we don't clash with your Halloween parties and shenanigans.
Gary HewittHOST
So we'll see you then.
Josh HallamHOST
And I know that both Greg and Tommy, they tour with it, don't they? And they'll do Q and A's and they'll meet people and they'll watch it to the point where it's become a little bit, I believe I've not seen it before, but it's become a little bit akin to something like the Rocky Horror Show, which is where you can go in with a script and you can shout back at it and you might throw stuff about.
Josh HallamHOST
It's become an experience like Secret Cinema rather than just a film that people think is rubbish.
Josh HallamHOST
So I think the fact that they changed the end, I mean, it's not a problem.
Josh HallamHOST
I think it completely makes sense.
