Caraway Drive-In-Theater comes to an end, conversation with Randi Emerman and watching Thor at a Drive-In

This is a packed episode. First, we talk to Randi Emerman, the founder of the Film Fest 919 and the now defunct Caraway Drive-In-Theater. The conversation covers a lot of topics:

  • The origins of the Caraway drive-in-theater and why it was ultimately closed.
  • Starting up the Film Fest 919 and the impact it has had and will have on Chapel Hill and the Triangle.
  • The theater business vs the festival business.
  • The benefits of watching films in theaters.
  • Lumina theater opens up again.

Then Jesse and a couple of his family members attend the last screening at the Caraway theater. The film is Thor: Love & Thunder. The conversation is less about the movie and more about experiencing movies including the drive-in experience which can be an experience in itself.
