Ep. 138: Halloween Thrills and Chills at Birmingham's Alabama Theatre
Things are getting spooky at the Alabama Theatre. Gary W. Jones, house organist for the historic Alabama Theatre in Birmingham, joins us to preview what's happening at the theatre this October. We'll talk movies, special events and what audiences can look forward to during one of the best months to visit the 99-year-old movie palace. Then Gary takes us behind the curtain with ghost stories from the Alabama Theatre and its sister venue, the Lyric Theatre, just across the street. Are there still a few longtime "patrons" hanging around after the lights go down?

Ep. 136: 'SABER' Director Matthew Wiatt
"SABER" director Matthew Wiatt joins us to discuss his incredible and inspiring documentary!
Watch "Saber" at the Sidewalk Film Festival in Birmingham, August 29, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. at the Lyric Theatre: https://sidewalk28.sched.com/event/2Qx9K/saber

SABER follows a passionate group of LED saber combat athletes as they train for the Saber Legion World Championships in Las Vegas. But this isn't just a story about competition or fandoms, it's about the power of shared passions to bring people together.
At its heart, SABER is a film about connection. It's about a group of people who might never have crossed paths, finding friendship, support, and a sense of belonging through the iconic lightsaber. In a world that often feels divided, SABER is a reminder that community can be found in the most unexpected places and that sometimes, the family you choose is the one that saves you.
