Before multiplexes were the norm and long before streaming, the drive-in theater offered a movie-going experience unlike any other. In this episode, we’ll look back on the traditions, technology, and unforgettable memories that made the drive-in a beloved part of American culture. From giant outdoor screens and crackling window speakers to concession stand favorites and double-feature nights, we’ll revisit what made the drive-in a special destination for generations of moviegoers.
