Popcorn Restaurant: A Movie Theater Podcast

Popcorn Restaurant: A Movie Theater Podcast

There are too many podcasts about movies, but seemingly NONE about the places that house those things, the movie theaters! In Popcorn Restaurant, comedians Magi Calcagne, Brad Beideman and Jordan Wold visit and review every movie theater they can possibly visit, and they hardly ever get distracted.
