Ep. 130: Rico Gagliano and Eric Hynes on Memorable Moviehouses and Recent Viewing

Rico Gagliano and Eric Hynes on Memorable Moviehouses and More Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I’m your host, Nicolas Rapold. Recently, the MUBI Podcast launched a new season of episodes, "Only in Theaters," about the way certain films and moviehouses have intertwined histories, such as the Elgin in New York and the midnight movie phenomenon. So I invited Rico Gagliano, the host of the acclaimed MUBI Podcast, and Eric Hynes, curator of film at Museum of the Moving Image, to talk about some stand-out cinemas—both historic and personally meaningful. Our chat ranges from the Cinematheque francaise and the Tuschinski to the local theaters where each of us grew up watching movies. We also talk about recent viewing and re-watches, from recent documentaries Beba and Nothing Lasts Forever, to Paddington and the Paul Simon vehicle One-Trick Pony.
