You may know this week’s guest from his band, Hell No, but even if you aren’t a hardcore punk rock fan, you may know him from his legendary video store Reel Life Video, which existed on Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg well before the boutiques and luxury apartments. John later went on to co-found Nitehawk Cinema, where he still works as director of programming and acquisitions. In our conversation we dork out about music, movies and dive into the intricacies of making his dream of a movie theater that serves high-quality food and drinks a reality. It’s more complicated than you think, but John’s approach and attitude helped make for one of the coolest theaters in the world. Check it out!
