## Resource

Welcome to the very first episode of Now Playing Podcast: Intermission, our new monthly free-form show where the structure is looser, it's far less edited, and anything can happen! This month: Arnie goes nuclear over Alamo Drafthouse’s new mid-movie cell phone ordering system and why he canceled his Season Pass. Brock and Stuart break down Oscar season, from the Best Picture nominees to which films Arnie might actually enjoy. The hosts debate Star Wars fatigue, The Mandalorian & Grogu, and who Lucasfilm is making movies for. And we welcome our very first Patreon supporter guest for some horror trivia! This is the show where we talk about what we’re watching, what’s frustrating us, and what’s coming next for Now Playing Podcast. And this is our first show of this kind, so let us know if you enjoy the show. We welcome your feedback to help shape this new type of Now Playing Podcast! If you like this looser vibe, let us know. We’ll be back next month!
