*jaunty saxophone music*

Hi, I'm Roger Triskel, movie critic for the Louisville Sun-Times...

... and I'm Susan Bauman, movie critic at the Louisville Dispatch.

Apologies for any sound issues in today's show, we're recording via telephone.

<fzzt>

We spoke with the producers and...

... couldn't rightly allow the crew to put themselves at...

<bzzt>

We're recording on July 14. Let's hope things haven't gotten any worse.

We don't have any movies to review, so we decided...

... to talk about the future of cinema if this continues.

It's not looking good, Susan. All those people packed up tight indoors...

We could see a big return in outdoor theaters.

That's right. And drive-ins. But if this situation continues for months...

<fzzt>

... will feel the pinch.

You can't film movies with the actors partitioned off, or in different places.

Second only to the human toll, of course, the toll on culture could be immense.

Yes. Even in the darkest periods of the twentieth century...

... we've had the cinema to cheer us up.

I first fell in love with movies because they were...

... a huge comfort after my mom died.

It's deeply sad. Stay safe, Susan.

You too, Roger.
