This is 99% invisible. I'm Roman Mars.

In a world known as the 1990s, Chancellor Hans was a skinny kid in Dallas, the new kid at school, and he loved going to the movies.

Yeah, I grew up in Dallas. Favorite pastime was to go to the movies. That's literally all I ever did. I mean if I had a nothing to do

Saturday which was often I would see at least three or four movies a day for

sure. I think I was 9 or 10 when I knew I wanted to work at a movie theater, but I couldn't

actually do it until I was like, I don't know, 14 or 15s when they start letting people

have jobs.

Chancellor became a projectionist, which if you love movies is a dream job.

When new prints came in, Chancellor would watch them all the way through for hiccups and

errors, staying late alone in the auditorium. But what he really loved was to see

movies with other people, so he would go back to work on his days off and watch the same movies over again with a crowd.

The more packed, the better.

Man Fridays and Saturday nights were my favorite.

Can you please tell me where your brother's hiding?

Why do you want him?

Because only your brother can prove I'm not a killer.

You don't know any of the people in that room, but you're all on a common ground of how hilarious a scene is or how

scary the scene is or how awesome it is to see Jackie Chan jump through a ladder you know what I

mean? Oh my God I miss going to the movies.

It's like everybody is on one accord.

You don't know that person, but you're sitting there laughing with them and having a good time.

Theaters in the early 90s, they weren't usually all that nice, and chancelors was no exception. The auditoriums were cramped and narrow. The screen was dim.
