Film Sack Q&A: Chicken Jockey
Published: Tue, 29 Apr 2025
Description: This week on Film Sack, we tackled wild theater behavior during the Minecraft movie, wondering if it’s Gen Z’s Rocky Horror. We debated whether theaters should host interactive screenings and reflected on the fading magic of communal movie experiences. We laughed over 4DX seat chaos, appreciated inspiring listener feedback, geeked out on MCU and Trek connections, and even discussed CGI mouth edits in Kraven. It’s all about nostalgia, crowd energy, and keeping the movie-going spirit alive—one messy, popcorn-filled showing at a time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
