S2E11: Leathered with Coca-Cola

Kyle, what's been happening on Main Street Prestwick?

Yeah, quite a lot.

It's been a very busy summer for us.

So I suppose first of all, it's to mention that we're now at the time of recording and the favourite catchphrase is back.

We are now winding down for quite an extensive winter break and I'm sure there's going to be some future episodes where we're going to be chatting about what 2027 will hold for the Broadway.

But over the last couple of months and over the summer, we've been really enjoying a member exclusive and sort of pilot test of what a real film program might look at the Broadway.

So we've already discussed in previous episodes the return of film with the smallest show on earth.

And that very much continued in August and September.

We had screenings of The Day the Earth Stood Still and An American in Paris from the 1950s.

And we had four screenings with our Broadway Youth Film Society, our four different branches.

We showed The Firm, The Terminal, we showed The Jungle Book and Juno.

And those Jungle Book and Juno screenings were also with our two newest film society branches of Carrick Academy and Gunvan Academy.

And I'm really looking forward to discussing more potentially in an upcoming episode about those Film Society updates as well.

There's been lots happening with that.

And of course, all of these screenings at the Broadway have provided a fantastic basically trial run for what a full programme of film might look like.

And we're hopefully well on the way to that in 2027 and beyond.

Oh, that's fantastic.

It's great to hear about, as I've said this before, I'm going to say it again, getting younger people involved in all this love of cinema, I think is hugely important.

It's great to hear about the associations with the various academies, etc.

So lots going on as always as we get into the winter season.

That's always going to be a challenge in a cinema with no heating.

Yes, hence the extended winter break.
