Music, Mel, Muppets, Mordor, and more!

We're a little late on posting the January podcast, but here it is!
Get a glimpse of some year-end numbers - all of which were record breaking thanks to our more than 50,000 guests in 2019!
After "The King" we welcome Mel Brooks, Muppets, and the continued trip to Mordor!
Also, we jump into February with some chatter about the sponsorship party and what to expect.
Also, George reflects on early 00's pop-punk standards by the campfire.

​More movie titles this month than in our first total year!

Welcome to the October episode of Historic Artcraft Theatre blog / podcast "The Monthly Minute."
​

Listen again to our office film maestro, George Chimples, and FHI media/marketing man, Dave Windisch chat and nerd out over the month's slate of films - and it's a big one!
We discuss all the weekend films, plus the ever-growing slate of weekday events happening at the theater - including a pair of FREE movies courtesy of JCPL through a Festival Country Indiana grant, as well as the six films we'll be showing during the Heartland Film Festival!

Give it a listen, let us know what you think.

The outro music this month is from the Friday the 13th theme music composed by Harry Manfredinin - and yes, we chat a little bit about that as well.

Humphrey, Hocus, Harold, Harry ... and more

Welcome to the second installment of Historic Artcraft Theatre blog / podcast "The Monthly Minute."
Listen again to our office film maestro, George Chimples, and FHI media/marketing man, Dave Windisch chat and nerd out over the month's slate of films.
This months chat sits at just about a half hour, and is worth it to get a sneak into what is also coming in October!

Give it a listen, let us know what you think.
We'll be tweaking the formatting, and production as we go along and learn a little more about what we're doing.

This month we chat about "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre," "Hocus Pocus," "Harold and Maude," "Dancing with the Johnson County Stars," "The Unknowns", and "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban."

The outro music this month is "If You Want to Sing Out" by Cat Stevens from the September 18 movie "Harold and Maude."

August on tap!



Welcome to the Historic Artcraft Theatre blog / podcast "The Monthly Minute."
Hosted by our office film maestro, George Chimples, and FHI media/marketing man, Dave Windisch.
Together the two will chat about the month's scheduled slate of films.
It will be about the coming month - it is more than a minute.
Give it a listen, let us know what you think.
We'll be tweaking the formatting, and production as we go along and learn a little more about what we're doing.

This month we chat about "Remember the Titans," "Mamma Mia!," "Austin Powers," "The Searchers," and the Ethos Celebration of the Arts weekend of Japanese cinema with "Seven Samurai," "Spirited Away," and "Akira."

The outro music this month is "Kaneda's Theme" by Geinō Yamashirogumi from the August 24 film "Akira."

​Enjoy!

    Who's talking?

    George Chimples is the man behind the desk at the Artcraft office.
    George has a serious film background and past experience as a staff writer reviewing movies for majorspoilers.com as well as critical and fanatical knowledge of Shaw Brothers martial arts films, Russian cinema, and 1970s horror films.

    Dave Windisch runs the social media and digital channels for FHI and The Historic Artcraft Theatre. He also handles all branding, visuals, and marketing within the organization.
    He has a love of film ranging from Alfred Hitchcock to John Carpenter, and cites "Some Like it Hot" and "Apocalypse Now" among his top ten non-Star Wars films.
    ​He collects movie posters and built this page - so his bio is longer than George's.
