Along with his contributions to the Movie Madness Podcast, Sergio Mims also hosts “The Bad Mutha Film Show” on WHPK Radio at the University of Chicago. Erik Childress has served as his regular co-host for over a decade and as the pandemic preempted their show, they brought it back virtually in November and this is the first of those shows. They discussed how studios were navigating the COVID era of movie releasing. After having done a tribute to Sean Connery here on the podcast after his death, they discuss how past comments resurfaced to dampen the praise and how it is still possible to accept the good with the bad. Then they take a nostalgic trip to the past with the movie theaters and experiences of their younger years. Where did they go? What did they see? Maybe it will spark some memories with you.
