If his face is familiar, that's because Raphael Sbarge has been working since he was a boy—in theater, television and film. His credits range from Murder, She Wrote and Risky Business to Fear the Walking Dead. More recently he has moved behind the camera, crafting documentaries like Only in Theaters, the story of Los Angeles' beloved Laemmle Theaters chain. That's the project that brought him in contact with Leonard and Jessie, who are happy to have him as this week's guest.  

Greg Laemmle runs Los Angeles' cherished Laemmle Theaters. We discuss the present and future of movie theaters, and their dramatic struggles in the post-pandemic and video streaming age. Also, the remarkable Laemmle family legacy, including Greg's great-grand uncle, Carl Laemmle, founder of Universal Pictures and an originator of the motion picture business. Also joining us is Raphael Sbarge, director of the feature documentary, “Only In Theaters” which chronicles the Laemmle Theaters' fight for survival. Action!

Yes, Greg Laemmle is related to Carl, the movie pioneer and founder of Universal Pictures. But he is—more to the point—the third generation owner of Los Angeles's celebrated Laemmle Theaters chain. The history of this business and how it narrowly survived the pandemic is the subject of Raphael Sbarge's documentary Only in Theaters, which is still making the rounds of film festivals. (Leonard appears in it as an interviewee.) When it comes to running a movie theater, there is very little that Greg doesn't know and he speaks with the easy authority of a veteran. Leonard and Jessie are among his many loyal customers.

The genius of George Balanchine (1904-1983), the man who reinvented ballet for the 20th century, is celebrated in this homage to his nonpareil choreography, the basis of his body of work for the New York City Ballet and the technique taught at the world-renowned School of American Ballet. Some of Balanchine's greatest stars describe the inventiveness, precision, speed, and musicality he demanded: Jacques d'Amboise (“It's like I was a pupil of Einstein”), Merrill Ashley (“a privilege of a lifetime”), Gloria Govrin, Suki Schorer, Edward Villella, and Heather Watts (“He was some kind of mad scientist”). Balanchine instilled in each of them an abiding, obsessive love of dance and an almost religious desire to pass along his artistry and vision. The depth of Balanchine's passion – and theirs – is dazzling, as is much of the never-before-seen footage of him in the classroom. Director Connie Hochman joins us for a conversation on the impact George Balanchine had on the trajectory of ballet in America, the dancers who's lives he changed and his living legacy in the people who continue to teach new dancers in a manner that reflects their interpretation of the Master's credo.

LA County has officially moved out of California’s most restrictive purple tier and into the red tier. The shift means movie theaters, gyms, museums, and restaurants can resume indoor operations in limited capacities. Some business owners are cautiously eyeing the return and need to prepare for guests. That includes Greg Laemmle, owner of Laemmle Theaters. “We could have started this process a few weeks ago. But you know, given our experience last summer where LA got close to reopening but didn't quite make it, we wanted to make sure that this was definitely happening.” Other business owners, such as Corrie Siegel at the Museum of Neon Art (MONA), are taking their time to reopen. “I'm not jumping into anything quite yet. And I want to make sure that all of our staff feels confident and able to resume their duties because it has been a year of closure,” she says.
