| 0:00.0 | And the render distance starts here. Good morning, Joel. |
| 0:03.0 | Good morning, Johnny. How was your weekend, my friend? |
| 0:06.0 | Weekend was great. Yeah. So here's a question for you. Have you ever been to an outdoor cinema screening? |
| 0:15.0 | I want to say yes, but it was like family vacation era. So like plus years ago was that was that like at a |
| 0:23.3 | drive-in kind of thing is that like a common thing in Canada yeah not common there's there used to be |
| 0:28.9 | one in the valley in Nova Scotia but it's more of like a anywhere there's a summer vacation spot |
| 0:35.8 | you might be able to find one, probably more so in |
| 0:38.0 | Ontario. They're probably more popular in rural areas. The one that I remember going to was on Prince |
| 0:42.8 | Edward Island, where we used to vacation as families as a kid. Like my family plus friends of my |
| 0:48.9 | parents and their kids would all go and have like cottages in a row kind of like on the shore |
| 0:53.5 | somewhere. And ultimately, you'd have to find something to do with the kids, you know, every other night. And so kids would all go and have like cottages in a row kind of like on the shore somewhere and ultimately |

| 1:09.0 | that had been out before um But it was cool. I just |

| 1:17.7 | that you'd have to bring in the car. You would just dial your radio station to whatever the |
| 1:22.2 | broadcast would be. And so the sound from the film would come out through the car stereo. |
| 1:27.2 | Yeah. It's funny because that's a phenomenon that doesn't really exist in the UK. We don't really have driving cinema here at all. And I think it's maybe because there's less, like, wide-open space that isn't, like, private land that's, like, used for farming and that kind of stuff, right? stuff, right? And I feel like the UK just as a smaller country doesn't have as much room for it. |
| 1:28.4 | And I don't know UK just as a smaller country |
| 1:44.3 | doesn't have as much room for it. And I don't know if that's ultimately the reason or if it's |
| 1:48.2 | just a logistical thing or whatever it would be, but cinema culture here has often just |
