Virgil and Mark chat with Joe Berger and Jeff Cashvan of The Deuce Film Series, a New York City repertory institution paying tribute to the glory days of 42nd St. moviegoing, a monthly hot ticket at Nitehawk Cinema Williamsburg, where on Thursday, March 20th, worlds will collide as The Mahoning Drive-In Road Show makes a guest appearance at The Deuce's 35mm screening of EQUINOX (1970). The maniacal movie mavens talk Times Square theaters, wild times on 42nd Street, the NYC repertory film scene, the history and enduring popularity of The Deuce Film Series, Kim's Video, Virginia Beach Drive-Ins, and more.

**And Joe realized he - in fact - did the math WAYYY wrong at the 19:15 mark: 14 theaters... 19 screens (not 30!?!?!) - so 38-57 movies a week (double/triple features)... Forgive him, please!

Recorded 2/26/25
