1/12/22 Show 85 : The Trial Of The CineMagic7

For episode 85, let’s celebrate the 5th anniversary of the time I was physically ejected from an opening day matinee screening of “Patriot’s Day” because my ringtone (the Dropkick Murphy’s “Shipping Up To Boston”) went off a half dozen times during the film’s first 30 minutes. It was a new phone, I had trouble finding the mute button in the dark. This was an unfortunate incident for all parties, especially Odyssey Entertainment, parent company of Austin’s since shuttered CineMagic7. I’d have been happy with a personal apology and some free movie passes but negotiations broke down and here we are, with another giant abandoned building. I can’t talk about much of it on this show — I had to sign an NDA, which apparently stands for “NO, DON’T ASK” — but I think you’ll find the musical portions entertaining. The first half hour, anyway.
