1. What’s your favorite day & time to go to the movies?

If I have the opportunity, I love seeing a matinee on a weekday – it just feels so romantic. If it’s on the weekend, my ideal time is around 8pm. I don’t like going to a 6-7pm movie because that’s my prime dinner time and the movie snacks just don’t cut it for me!

2. What’s your favorite movie theater?

My go-to is Burbank Town Center 6 because the parking is easy and there’s no service in the theaters, so people usually aren’t on their phones. Still, I always prefer the aura of a local indie theater like the Los Feliz 3 (which also has the best popcorn out of any theater I’ve been to in LA). There’s something really nostalgic about not being able to reserve my seats in advance and buying the tickets when I get there. It reminds me of how going to the movies was like in my childhood.
