The Historic Lynwood Podcast

Happy New Year's folks. This is it, our final podcast of 2022. As a cinematic way to end the year on a good note (frame), we'll take this timely opportunity to take a look back at the 43 films we screened over the course of the entire year - and rate, review and refresh.  As this is a lengthy process, let's just jump in and get started. Here are the films: The Tragedy of Macbeth The...

Sam Mendes and Sir Roger Deakins return for another week at the HLT with their beautiful ode to a bygone era of 35mm films, a nation in turmoil and two people at demographic polar extremes of each other. Naturally they meet in the Empire theatre and begin a relationship with the grand art deco masterpiece as confidant. With conflict on all fronts, they navigate their way through the minefield of e...

Whew, that was fun! 2022. Back in April we launched our podcast. The vision was to use the platform as a way to reach the audience that had become accustomed to tuning in every Tuesday to hear the golden pipes of CEO Jeff Brien announce the shows and times at the Historic Lynwood. Unfortunately those days, like a host of other things we had assumed would last forever, didn't. We decided to ri...

Peter Kohn has a resume longer than the California coastline. From Associate Producer to First Assistant Director, the list of films he has toiled on reads like a who's who of Hollywood (and London) talent. I will list a few, first from the film category, then the star cat and finally the directors. Here we go: The French Lieutenant's Woman Victor/Victoria The Awakening In the Line of Fi...

And good afternoon film fans, today is Tuesday Nov. 29 and we've got a lot of ground to cover today, so let's fire up the magical audio machine and get 'er running, shall we?  As is our new and improved standardized text format, we'll give you the raw data up front - followed by a more detailed and in-depth dive into the nuts and bolts, including a special event on Sunday of wh...

Here we go, the start of the 2022 Holiday Season. And what better way to enjoy it than with good food, good friends and a good movie? And as a tasty desert how about the 114th Apple Cup? Better than s'mores I am thinking. To the Coming Attractions we boldly go. THE MENU , is being held over for another week.  Hoooray! Stopping just short of calling this a 'must see' it is about as c...

Since that special day last December when we screened A Match Made at Christmas and hosted two of the film's cast on stage for a post-viewing Q&A session, I have wanted to coerce Shannon Dowling to be on our show. But being the busy jack-of-all-trades - or is it Jane-of-all-trades? - artist that she is, I had to wait (patiently) in line for the opportunity. I will tell you up front that i...

Today is Tuesday, Nov 15. More fun and games this week on the Coming Attractions podcast. We continue with the double feature stack of CALL JANE and ARMAGEDDON TIME.

Admittance to the third show will be on a first - come, first-...

November. Already. Where has the time gone? This somewhat overused sentiment got me to thinking this morning as I prepared this episode. If one, and I'll use the third person here, asks the 'where did it go' question, as it refers to the fleeting nature of time, shouldn't the more important question be: what has that one done with it and how should the past shape the present? I...

An Island Legend. If you, or somebody you know, has ever had the slightest connection with Bainbridge Island or bicycles, you have head of, listened to, bartered with or discussed cycling in its myriad forms with our guest today, Jeff Groman. Jeff was the face of Classic Cycles for over thirty years, he has a collection of cycling memorabilia numbering over three hundred bikes, has assembled a gor...

It would be a major understatement to say that we have some special events to announce this week. As we count down the days till Halloween the HLT is pleased to add no less than three big specials to the mix. Let's get started and in the attempt at clarity, we'll do it chronologically, starting with today, Tuesday, October 25. Here is the annotated schedule for the next eight days: Tuesd...

AAAAAAnd good afternoon, ladies & gentlemen, we're back for another exciting edition of Coming Attractions (CA).

Hiya HLT fans!!!  Among the many bits of good news this week, we offer some ourselves, a double bill for your movie-going pleasure!  We are stacking a pair of new films, Railway Children Return, a 2022 remake of the classic 1970 tearjerker and The Good House.

Ninety million. That is the figure, in American dollars, that Zach Ingrasci, his partner Chris Temple and the crew at Optimist.co have already raised .  That money has come from their documentary filmmaking efforts.  Most appropriately, their NPO mission statement calls their work 'Films with Impact'. To further detail their creative philanthropy;  first they survived for two months on $...

Filmmaker, actress, screenwriter, producer, and by her own assessment, most accurately, storyteller, we were most fortunate today to have Rachel Noll James visit with us on the big black stage at the Historic Lynwood.  Santa Fe to Bainbridge Island are start and current dots on her personal timeline with a ten year stay in Southern California  where she majored in Theatre Arts at Occidental (alma...
