Luxury, Innovation, and Popcorn? Yes, Please.

On this Trending Tuesday episode of The Debbie Nigro Show, I’m spilling the popcorn on a jaw-dropping new addition to one of my longtime favorite iconic hotels, the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Shawn Nayyar, the hotel’s new General Manager, joined me in studio to talk about the Townsend Cinema, a first-of-its-kind 40-seat luxury movie theater built right inside the hotel—a concept developed by Monoplex and Trinity Investments, now brought to life at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich.

"We’re the first in the country to have this kind of cinema experience inside a hotel—and the response has been incredible." – Shawn Nayyar

You can sip cocktails, eat gourmet truffle popcorn, and watch first-run movies like Superman and Fantastic Four—in heated recliners!

(I’m a heated seat girl. I’m all in!” LOL)

Why It’s a Big Deal:

  • First-run movies play the same day as nationwide theaters.
  • Heated leather recliners, Dolby surround sound & a full menu.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
