Episode 14, Two Large Popcorns and a Basket of Nachos, Please and Thank You (featuring John Trafton‪)‬ Justice in Motion

With the prospects of nation-wide vaccination teasing a better summer than the one we had last year, the question on our minds is when can we go to the movies again? Quite apart from being the best way to beat the sweltering summer heat, seeing a movie in theaters is a treasured communal experience whose emotional ties hearken back to the ancient Greek theatre.

For this month's episode of Justice in Motion, we welcome back to the podcast Dr. John Trafton, Seattle University Film Studies professor and author of Movie-Made Los Angeles, to discuss the social importance of going to the cinema, branching off into 16-century panoramic paintings, predicting when moviegoers time their bathroom breaks, and the link between Kevin Smith and Tommy Wiseau.
