Virgil and Mark talk with Jan Krawitz, director of the 1986 documentary short DRIVE-IN BLUES, about the production of the film, Drive-In memories, documentary filmmaking and more.
Recorded on 4/7/22
For more information on Jan Krawitz and to buy DVDs of DRIVE-IN BLUES, visit:
https://jankrawitz.com/drive-in-blues/
And a special message from Jan: "I will be putting silent 16mm film outtakes from Drive-in Blues up on eBay in the next few weeks. I have recently finished organizing them into rolls (on cores) culled from different locations where we filmed. If people are interested in learning more, they can contact me through my website: www.jankrawitz.com "
Plus an update from Jan on the Drive-Ins featured in DRIVE-IN BLUES:
"I-45 in Houston closed in February 1992
Gemini Theatre, Dallas
I found some post-closed photos:
It looks like the date was the late 80s so a few years after I filmed.
http://www.cosmicool.com/driveins/gemini
The story I forgot to tell about the Gemini is that on Monday nights ($1/car?) the lot would be overrun by teenagers. I think the lot size was
about 1000 cars. Each HS would claim its own section of the lot on Monday nights so they knew where to park and meet their friends. The rest of the community knew to stay away on those nights as music from the cars would blare out of big speakers mounted on top of the cars (you can see that in my film) and nobody could hear the movie.
Best Western Movie Manor in Monte Vista, CO is still in business.
S and S Drive-in, Stamford, TX (the owner with the gimme hat) — says it closed in 1984 but we know that’s not true since I filmed there in 1985 - but it sounds like that might have been its last season.
I filmed at a theater on Monahans, TX (one of the snack bar scenes and people arriving), but I don’t remember its name so can’t look it up.
Still open:
Mansfield Drive-in, Mansfield, CT
Orefield Drive-in, Orefield, PA"

Virgil and Mark are joined by Carl and Darryl for another round of Top Five lists.
So what's a "Top Five"? Darryl explains:
"The concept started as a conversation starter at Carl’s but didn’t come to fruition until those post-Mahoning show breakfasts at the Boulevard and Beacon diners in Lehighton. The Facebook posts would then get a lots of feedback, comments, criticism, etc. and the whole idea is just an extension of our love of movies and starting a conversation. Something that is amplified during those weekends at the Mahoning. Last summer we started to do them on the lot preshow with the regulars."
This time out, Top Five Non-Superhero Comic Book Films and Top Five Snowed-In Films.

Virgil and Mark welcome two members of the Mahoning Drive-In Production Team, Mistress Zeneca and John Demmer (and a Surprise Guest), to talk about the stories behind their many Mahoning photo op and scenic creations (from the Land of Oz to the Myers House), Drive-In memories, and more.
You've seen Zeneca's work at our WIZARD OF OZ/WILLY WONKA season opener, Tim Burton Weekend, Joe Bob's Jambroee and more, and John is the wood whisperer behind the NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST house, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE photo op, and the EVIL DEAD cabin, to name a few. Meet the maestros behind the delightful (and demented) decor!
Recorded 1/24/22
