Today on the podcast, Mark, still holding down the fort for Mike, sits down with one of our long-tenured General Managers, Bob Parella of Classic Cinemas La Grange XQ, for a conversation that blends movie passion, theatre memories, and a little exhibition philosophy.
Bob shares what keeps him motivated after all these years in the business, his go-to movie snack, and what will keep him coming back to the theatre as a guest in the months ahead. Along the way, he offers personal and fun anecdotes from his time in the theatres, proving that even a seasoned “younger, old-timer” can always deliver fresh energy to the conversation.
They also unpack the excitement surrounding a few flicks Bob is looking forward to, like the highly anticipated biopic Michael, the gamer-fueled action of Mortal Kombat 2, and this week’s releases of Hoppers and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!
Tune in for a behind-the-scenes look at the movie business through the eyes of our younger old-timer: Bob Parella.
