A
Plus, they never tell you anything. I just found out my dad was in, like, the Boy Scouts. I was like, I saw a picture. I'm like, wait, dad, that's you? Yeah. No, first of all, I guess that's me. What do you mean, you guess that's you? Is that you or not?
C
Yeah, that's me.
A
You were a Boy Scout. How come you never told me?
C
Not once?
A
Yeah, I forgot.

The heck with what? Can I just tell you? I called my mom during the break because we're talking about old school movies. Danny G. Said the first movie theater ever opened on the.
A
No, no. First permanent movie theater. Yeah. On this day in 1902, the Talley Theater here in Los Angeles.
C
So I said, you know, I don't remember. I was thinking maybe like E.T. then I'm like, Nah, it's too young for E.T. i call my mom. She Picks up. She's like, hey, Richie, what did Danny think about Mendoza? I'm like, all right, enough about the Raiders.
A
Hey, you could have been listening if you really wanted to know Marianne, she's
C
like, I'm out to. She's out with the old lady she works with. Okay, I'm having Chinese food, beef and broccoli. I'm like, again, Mom, I have a question. What was the first movie you took me to when I was a kid? I'm your first born, Little Richie. Where'd you take me? She's like, oh, you expect me to remember that?
D
I don't know.
C
I do remember going to Ninja Turtles. I'm like, that was in the 90s. You think that was the first movie you brought me to?
A
Yeah, I have, like, no recollection. No concept time.
C
Yeah. Ninja Ninja Rap. You think that's the first movie?
A
Vanilla Ice was in the soundtrack.
C
Yeah, I know your fan.
A
I know where you come from. Like, I. I know the first movie I took my daughter to. I know the first movie I took my cartoon, that Turbo, the snail cartoon.
C
Yeah, of course.
A
I was the first movie I remember taking her to again because that's a memorable sort of thing. So we ask you, hold on. We get everybody involved. 87799 on Fox. Maybe your first movie, your most recent movie, Any movie memory that stands out. Rich and I have a few stories about, like, we actually left the theater and we're gonna share some memories and some stories. Now. Feel free to hit us up. Cause on this day, the first permanent movie theater opened in Los Angeles. The Talley Theater.
C
Well, I know it's a little different, but in your hometown, did they have a drive in movie theater?
A
Yeah. At one point, my sister worked at the local town theater too. At one point, my sister dawn. And, you know, growing up, drive ins were something that my relatives would take me to when I was a kid. Like, the drive in theater was cool.
E
They were super popular here in Southern California. So much so I was Sam in the break that my parents would differentiate between a drive in movie and a walk in movie. They called it. We're going to the walk in theater. That's how it was.
C
Drive in was dope. You would tune your radio to a certain frequency.
E
There was a playground. It was right next to the snack bar with those nachos stranded at the drive in.
C
I mean, not as cool as I'm sure it was out here, New York. There was like one or two of them. But where I was from out here, I can only imagine what A cool scene the drive in theater was. I remember seeing the last movie I saw to drive in was Last Action Hero with Arnold. Remember that one?
A
Wow, that's a great recall.
C
But I just remember being like. And then I was like, I never went to the drive in again because
A
drive in, I couldn't tell you what it was.
C
But.

Going to follow your lead after the show and bother big Steven Orencia. My dad will never know. My mom probably will say the same thing. Like your mom said. You expect me to remember? But I, I started racking my brain and I was like, I don't remember. Same thing. Look, you'll check out my little Google search. ET came out in 82. 6-11-82.
C
I was in diapers.
A
I saw that in theaters. I remember. Yeah, I remember. Years older than me, I saw that in theaters. I was like maybe 6 years old. I'll be right here. I had the sheets, the toys, everything. But then I thought even harder and I said no. I remember my mom taking me to see the Fox and the Hound, that Disney cartoon that came out in 81.
C
Oh, that was, that was Disney's like weak ass era.
A
I love that cartoon though, man. So I was like, you know what? Maybe that was the first. Truth is, I don't know.
C
But I do know this, you, mom won't know.
A
There are a few times in life where I actually had to leave the theater. One of them involved my mom. Dude, we went like as a family to see like 48 Hours Eddie Murphy. And there's a lot of. My mom gets real prudish when it comes to sexual content and jokes. No curses, right? Like profanity. Eddie Murphy's doing the Eddie Murphy thing and he's cursing and he's just being 80s funny. Eddie Murphy. But the cursing was driving my mom through the roof. Pulled me out by my ears. We're leaving, Stan. Yeah, like embarrassed me in front of everybody.
B
That wasn't your fault. It was my faul. Like, she pull you out of yours?
A
Mama, can we stay? You didn't curse.
B
You didn't say fudge in the Christmas story.
A
Geez, she was so mad about it. I don't know. But I remember that. And I remember this one story too. Oh, what year was it?
C
I wrote that one of yours. I forgot.
A
Oh, no, I know it. Okay, let me look up the year, though. Okay, so there was one time I was trying to impress a fine young woman. The year was 2000. And, like. Yeah, we're gonna go see. I think it was.
B
We were going, Steve, hold on, hold on. We need to do this properly.
A
Yeah. I'm pretty sure I had something up my sleeve. Like, you know, I'm gonna take her to a scary movie so she could hold on to me.
B
Real tight sleeve. Covino.
A
And I think it was. I think it was the Blair Witch Project. I think that's. What if. If that was the same year, then it was.
E
But it was a scary movie patch.
A
Yeah. So I'm like, oh, let's go see Blair Witch. I heard it's real scary. She's like, okay, dude, we're sitting in this movie. I'm like, for, like, a good half hour.
C
I'm like, when is it? When is the scare?
A
I don't know if this. When's the scary part happen? I'm like, it's gonna get better. I heard good things about it. And all of a sudden, like, the guy's like, ballet. And I'm sitting there and I'm watching Billy Elliot for at least a half hour, 40 minutes. I'm like, oh, we're in the wrong movie. It was a movie about the dancing.
B
Little dancing kid.
A
Dancing boy.
B
I watched.
A
I saw that movie, the little dance, ballet boy. The differ.
C
You saw it on purpose, Sam.
B
Wait, wait, wait. Blair Witch is like black and white on camcorder.
A
The difference is, I'm trying to impress this girl.
C
I wear the wrong Elliot.
D
Yeah.
A
I love that movie, by the way. I never finished it. I left because I felt so dumb. And then we went into the other theater and caught the tail end, and I'm pretty sure it was.
B
You missed all the good parts.
A
Yeah, so I had to leave that one, too.
E
Did you guys ever get dropped off at the movie theater by your mom and you claimed you were watching one movie, but you walked into a different movie?
C
Oh, there was a. There was a Roosevelt Field, which is a mall on Long island, my buddy. We'd buy one ticket, and there was a side entrance to the theater. One of us would go in. We'd go to the back of the theater. Prop open, like, the back. The back door where the. Like the dumpsters were. We'd all go in, and then we'd plot out, like, three movies. Like, all right, we're gonna go see you Know Beverly Hills Cop 3. And then we're gonna, you know, all, like, crappy movies in the 90s. We'd movie hop all day. That was like. That's what we did. Yeah.
A
I remember the worst movie you paid for. Do you remember that?
E
Well, I was gonna say really quick Cove. I remember my older brother finding out information about the rated PG movie because we really snuck into the rated R movie. And then my mom would quiz us when she picked us up.
C
That's a good one.
E
Yeah. So he knew something about the PG movie. As long as she didn't ask too many questions.
A
There was a movie I saw. Oh, I know what it is. 19. It was 1991. I was in high school again, trying to impress, like, a high school girlfriend. And really, you're just trying to make out, Right. And that's your parents. I tell that to my daughter. Now you go see a movie. I'm going to quiz you on it when you're done because I want to know you were watching this movie, right?
C
You make.
B
You're making out to Schindler's List no.
A
91. And I remember, like, thinking, this is the worst movie I think I ever paid for ever. And it was Dan Aykroyd's Nothing But Trouble.
B
I love that movie.
A
Get out of here's the worst.
C
Because I probably saw.
B
When I was a kid, it was so hokey with all these like.
E
Like Digital Underground and Tupac.
A
Ye. I think we left as like, a group because it was so bad.
B
I love that movie and it is terrible, but, like, the bone. The bone crunch or whatever, like, all the trapdoors and.
C
Oh, man, there are movies that you probably just went to when you were a kid because you were just with your buddies and you're like, what do you want to do today? There was a movie so bad that my buddies till this day, we joke about it because it was, like, probably one of the worst movies of all time. Do you remember Paul Hogan was in a movie called Lightning Jack?
A
I do, yeah.
C
Lightning Jack. And I believe.
A
I don't think I've ever seen it.
C
But Cuba Gooding Jr. Was a mute in the movie. Yeah, it was like his sidekick who was. Who couldn't talk. Worst movie of all time. But I have a movie that I walked out of. Get this, guys. To lose my virginity.
D
Ooh.
A
Yeah.
C
I was a teenager. My high school girlfriend and I, we knew that, like, no parents weren't home, but we had plans to go to the movies.
A
Nobody's home.
C
Nobody's home. And I remember Thinking no one's home. And, you know, we're like, 16.
A
It's like, aren't the movies getting hot and steamy, huh?
C
We went to go see a movie that I never. I don't know how it ended because halfway through the movie, my high school girlfriend was like, like, let's go. Let's. Let's go. Like, no one's home, like. And I was like, I'm gonna follow her lead, because I was probably waiting for her to give the. The thumbs up. You know what I'm saying?
A
Thank God for ring cameras nowadays. That prevents all kids from, like, wanting to do these things.
C
I remember the movie. I don't know how it ended, so maybe you could tell me. My father, the hero with Gerard Depardieu.
A
What's this? I'm surprised you left that movie, knowing you're such a big Gerard Depardieu fan.
C
But I remember, but I can't.
A
I'm a big Gerard Depardieu fan.
C
Yeah, but I told you I'm ready.
A
Yeah, but I've been dying to see this.
C
I told you, no one's home. And I think it's time.
A
So you Depard.
C
Did I depart? Did.
A
All right.
E
Covino will be here till Thursday.
C
Yeah.
A
Thank you.
C
Opening for Frank Kelly Endo tonight. Your. Your thoughts on all this?
A
I don't remember that movie.
C
Well, either do I.
A
Neither does Rich. All right, and my most recent. You know what? Ever since COVID my hair hasn't been the same, my eyes haven't been the same, life hasn't been the same. I really haven't gotten into the groove.
C
I go to the movies all the time.
A
I know you do, and I give you props for that. The last movie I saw was the. The Wicked sequel because, like, I don't know, I felt like I had to go see that.
C
Yeah, you saw the first one you want.
A
Went with my daughter and everything, but, like, I don'. Not like you really gotta sell me on getting to the theater nowadays.
C
Not for adult movies, Danny.
E
I'm jealous of Rich because I have a toddler. People with little ones, we can't go to the movies unless it's for the snotty nose. Little kids.
C
But. But you know what, Danny? I don't go for, like, adult movies. Meaning, like, action movies. I'll take the kids to go see
E
Hoppers or the, like a Pixar movie.
C
Topia 2 we saw. If there's like, a kids movie, like, we're going this weekend, Super Mario Galaxy. And two observations about how the movies have changed since we were kids. The prices are absurd. I know we live in Southern California, but when I tell you the imax and I don't even like that we're not doing the 3D, I'm just talking
A
about, like, Cali theater must have cost, like, a nickel.
C
I'm talking about, like, a regular theater at the mall. A nice mall. $28 for a kids ticket, 32 for an adult for Saturday afternoon. Super Mario Galaxy for a family of four. Over 100 bucks. Absurd. But the one benefit, there's an anxiety that I can't really compare to much else. You know, when you go to a restaurant that doesn't take reservations, and as you're walking towards a restaurant, you see other people walking towards a restaurant, you're like, everyone that beats me there is ahead of me in line. The anxiety of not knowing where you'd sit in the theater. When they eliminated that with assigned seating, it might have been the best.
E
Yeah.
C
Thing movie theaters have ever done. Like the fact that I know. Oh, yeah, we're in row G, seat 7, 8, 9, and 10 on Saturday. The fact that you could get there and not have to worry about that. They remember that annoyance. I remember going to see some crappy. Was there a Jack Nicholson werewolf movie?
B
Yes.
F
Called Wolf.
C
Wolf. I remember my buddies and I joked about that because we went because our parents dropped us off. We were in the front row. And the whole time, I remember being like, I'm in the front row. Like, looking straight up.
B
You didn't like Wolf?
E
It's funny you say that, Rich, because one of my very first walk in theater memories is Return of the Jedi, and people were trampling each other to get good seats.
C
Remember that awkward thing of like, well, there's one seat there. Hey, can you guys, like, all shift down one seat? Like, oh, that anxiety is gone now.
A
By the way, we're talking about this because on this day in 1902, the first ever permanent movie theater opened in Los Angeles. The Talley Theater. Talley's Electric Theater. And I looked it up. It was about 10 cents for a standard showing. Kids paid 5 cents. That's roughly three to four dollars today, according to ChatGPT. So movie memories on an old school when 50 hits Throwback Thursday. Let's go to the phones. 877-99-on Fox.
E
Let's go. Let's start in El Paso with Manny.
C
Oh, the Paso. What's up, Manny?
D
Guys, how are we doing? First of all, the funniest moment I had in a movie theater is my girlfriend at the time went to go see Godzilla with Matthew Broderick. Well, I was reaching down for my soda, and behind me there was another couple, but the girl was straddling the guy. So this guy was munching down on two buckets of popcorn, if you know what I mean. But the funny thing was, was the girl did not want to miss a movie. So she's looking back over her shoulder watching Godzilla. Well, this guy's going to work in the theater.
C
She's Louise. I mean, are you sure this isn't, like, a Pee Wee Herman type of theater or what?
D
I don't know. But as far as driving theaters, yeah. I remember watching La Bamba, 1987.
A
Classic.
C
Yeah.
A
By the way, they're redoing. They're remaking that movie.
C
They're making La Bomba.
A
Yeah. With the original, like, director or whatever, but, yeah, they're redoing that movie.
E
All right, well, let's go to Indiana. Eddie.
C
Yeah, the arto. What's up, Eddie?
D
Hey, guys, I got a classic for you. I'm a little older than you guys, but my first movie in the theater was the original Star wars, believe it or not.
A
That's a bragging, right?
C
That's a. That's like. That's like having a. That's like having a co. First concert. Like, your first movie was Star Wars. That's pretty cool.
D
Yeah. It sets you up, though, for everything else is, like, ever going to measure up, you know?
A
No, I hear you. That's very, very cool. Yeah.
E
You know what? The reason why my parents and my cousin's parents were like, we got to go to the walk in theater to see that was because of the special effects.
D
Yeah.
E
They didn't want to go to the drive in for Return of the Jedi. They wanted to go to the actual theater to walk in.
A
Made my Fox and the Hound story sound really corny. Thanks, man.
E
All right, next up, it's our boy Tripp in Vegas.
C
Hey, Tripp.
A
Hey, what up, Tripp? By the way, Tripp, you cheating on us, bro? I heard you calling into the DP show today. Good job.
C
Oh, look at that.
A
Good job. I heard you this morning. I was combing my hair. Hey, there he is.
D
I'm on there a good bit. I normally take shots at him, so
A
that was good, man. What's up?
D
I was gonna say three things real quick. So that's Katherine Heigl that plays opposite Gerard Depradu in that movie. You're talking about my father that he wrote.
A
You're right.
C
That was it. That was a youngster that was a child actress, Katherine Heigl. Oh, my God.
D
And the first theater movie was Star Wars. And then I got this theater story. Tell it real quick. It was the winner of 85. Weird science came out. I was 15. So my parents. My girlfriend lived across town, so our parents would drop us off at the theater. So it's cold. It was a Friday night. I never forget this. So she has a big jacket, and we're pushed all the way to the side in the theater. So she's just to my right. No one to my. No one beside her. So next thing I know, she's got her jacket. She's got her shirt on during and her bra on. She's like, hey, do you want it? So here's the best part of the story. I'm like, yeah. The next night we go out. She goes, what do you want to do? I was like, let's go see Weird Science again. We went and did the same thing the next night,
A
by the way. That was like our office kind of the theater, right? Like, there's a like, hornball moments at the movie theater back in the day.
C
Is it weird that when I see Gerard Depardieu to this day, I get weird feelings inside?
A
It's like a Pavlov stalk sort of thing. Yeah, weird response.
E
Let's go to New York. It's Colin on the line.
A
Hey. Hey, Colin.
C
Hey, Colin.
A
Hey, Colin.
D
Hey, guys. I'm going to complete the trilogy. My dad took me to see Empire Strikes Back when I was a. Maybe he's. He tells a story. He held me in his arms. And I love that you're talking about Gerard Depardieu. I'm dying now.
A
Rich is the biggest fan.
D
That's.
A
That's what I'm getting out of this whole story.
C
I'm a huge fan.
A
87799 on Fox. Who else do we got?
E
Look at that. All three Star wars movies now. Rich in Ohio.
A
Hey, Rich.
D
Hey, guys. How's it going? So I guess I kind of stole my thunder with a Star Wars. My first memory, going to the theater. What year was that?
C
Star wars is, what, 77?
D
Okay, so I got to thinking. It made me think. I'm like, you know what? I did see a movie before that. My uncle was kind of, you know, babysitting and took me to the drive in theater the year before that. And I got to see Mother Judson Speed with Bill Cosby, Raquel Welch and the Young Harvey Cartel.
A
You know what's funny about that? We have a theory on that, bro. Your uncle took you, right? Cause he's babysitting. We call that the one time doozy. Like, your parents probably took you a million times, but your uncle took you once. So you remember it. You remember the one time doozy. Cause my uncle Tommy, he's a great guy. He only. He took me to the theater once in my life. It was to see Bambi when I was a kid. And of course I remember that because it was the only time he, like,
C
did something with one time doozy.
A
Yeah, the one time doozy.
E
Yeah, that's funny.
C
I made a mistake once. Of. You know, there was a. You guys ever see the Saw movies? I love. I'm. I like horror movies. The Saw movies, I saw one of those in.
B
I saw one of those in theaters.
C
Want to play a game? It was a Saw four. Saw something. Whatever the Saw was that there was a whole scene, like, minutes long of them sawing open a guy's brain to do a surgery. I took, like, some hot girl to see this movie around Halloween. And I remember thinking it killed the mojo because we were both sort of, like, grossed out by it. And I remember being like, all right, good night. Like, so pick your movie wisely.
A
Kind of ruined my appetite.
C
Like. No, it kind of ruined the whole. Like, we were both sort of grossed out by it. And I remember being like, yeah, I thought this could be, like, a fun. Like, want to play a game? Like, hark.
A
You know, Just want to know if you have an answer, Rich, because I've asked you everything, you know, throughout the 20 plus of the show. Yeah, Any, like, any sports movies that stand out? And I say that because one of them is, like, everyone wants to have a cool answer. I do have a cool answer.
C
Yeah.
A
My. The one that stands out is. Is I saw Rocky Foreign theaters. I remember. And I remember loving it, like, because it starts with the gloves clashing, you know, like, oh, this would be the coolest thing ever. I saw Wildcats in theaters. I'm thinking football movies.
C
I 100% remember football. That couple years difference between us, I remember seeing with my buddy Phil.
A
Oh, Phil McCracken.
C
Yeah, Phil McCracken.
D
Yeah.
A
Yeah, I know that guy.
C
I remember being so disappointed because we saw at the time, no one, you know, dumped on it the way they do now. But I remember seeing Rocky 5 in 1990 in theater. And, like, our parents dropped us off because we loved all the Rocky movies. And I remember being like, wait, he's not gonna fight in the ring. Tommy Gunn and George Washington Duke.
A
I remember.
C
Do you Guys remember, I remember being like, I remember being disappointed, but I remember seeing Rocky first 3D movie.
A
Because before I saw my first 3D movie, you would get like 3D glasses at McDonald's or something, and you. They'd have some TV specials, like in 3D. And I remember when Jaws 3 and 3D came out, I remember how disappointed I was. I'm like, this stinks.
C
My wife was like, Jaws 3, that's, that's a good one. That's what the dolphins, right? I'm like, babe, that's the worst movie of all time.
A
Theaters, too.
C
Jaws without Roy Scheider is like a Police Academy without Gutenberg.
B
Like, yeah, he signed on. He contractually had to do the second film. And the third one has a very young Quaid, I believe is in it. Not the, the Randy.
A
Dennis. Dennis.
C
Dennis.
B
Dennis Quaid, I believe.
C
Isn't it? But Sam, like, there are certain franchises that won. The main guy left. Like, I, I, I like the silly Police Academy movies, but the minute Gutenberg took off in that hot air balloon, I was like, that's it.
A
You know what else I'm getting out of this, too? I think, you know, we all have this recall of movies we saw in theaters and we do movies we had on vhs. Because you. Yeah, I've seen it a million times. I had it on vhs. But you remember the ones you saw in the theater.
E
Yeah, yeah. Especially around holidays. Like, I remember the hype around Independence Day with Will Smith, and it was a Fourth of July weekend. And I'll never forget, I was outside of the San Diego area and there was a line and everybody was so hyped to see that.
A
And it was real.
B
I saw in theaters. It blew your mind. It was so good.
C
Do you ever have a drunk movie theater moment?
B
Yes. Can I share? Actually, I have a. I want to. I was saying this up so bad.
C
You know what I was saying? We're gonna, we're gonna.
B
Please, let me just share. A couple things are hot.
C
We're gonna come back, we're gonna share your stories. Because I remember it was around Christmas time, Sam, and I'm sure you have something like this. We were seniors in high school. Not condoning this for the youngsters, but we snuck some booze into the theater and just poured it in our huge sodas.
D
Yes, yes.
C
And we saw A Muppets Christmas Carol. And I remember all of us, we weren't driving. We were smart about it. We all walked home and we were like the idiot 17 year olds just, like, stumbling around. We just went to go see the Muppets. And I remember everyone's but we all got in trouble because everyone's parents, like you idiots, got drunk at the theater. We all got in trouble. It was a good memory though.
A
We'll take the rest of your stories, the rest of your phone calls, the
C
rest of the story.
A
87799 on Fox celebrating the first permanent movie theater 1902, the Talley Theater in LA on this day. Old school when 50 hits.

A
Ooh. A lot of people put these guys in the one hit Wonder conversation. Alien Ant Farm, Smooth Criminal. This is their song called Movies, which is a really good song. Good call, Sam.
B
I love this song so much.
C
I put Alien Ant Farm in real unique category.
A
And just like the movies, alien and
C
form is in such a small category of a cover song that's better than the legend. Like, I always thought I was a joker. I was a joke hawkers with a little help from my friends was better than the Beatles.
B
Oh, yeah, that one.
C
And I think so different too. And I think Alien Ant Farm, Smooth Criminal is better than Michael Jackson.
B
They, like, metalize it.
C
Like, but to say that someone did a cover of MJ or the Beatles and it's better is like small, small.
A
It's a big accomplishment. And you know who else has a cool song about the movies? Buck Cherry for the movies.
D
And
A
Hoodie Allen has a good song about the movies too. Hoodie Allen, a rapper. Anyway, we're Covino and Rich live from the Fox Sports radio studio. Don't let employee turnover slow down business.

Now we got loaded lines, and Sam's got stories, too. Sam's got a pocket of loaded tots.
B
I got a Napoleon dynamite. Loaded tots. Can I go real quick?
E
Yeah, go for it.
B
I'm going to run through these. Are we okay with that?
A
We're talking movies because the first permanent theater opened on this day. So your movie Memories, 1902, on this day here in LA.
C
Sam, before you, run through your memories, because I'm excited to hear them.
B
All right.
C
We said already how? Assigned seating, big upgrade.
B
Southwest finally figured that out.
C
They're like, let's got to assign seat.
A
Yeah, let's do that.
C
Assigned seating in a theater, big upgrade. Danny, you and I were talking about how you need recliners now. Like, sitting in a regular theater. Like, you need a theater with the reclining chairs.
E
Justify those ticket prices.
C
Exactly. And I think it's safe to say, you could say it's illegal activity, but no way am I paying those candy prices at a theater. Isn't everyone standing to go to, like, the dollar store or the drugstore somewhere, grab some candy and bring it to the theater?
E
I've brought in bags of burgers. I've brought Taco Bell.
B
I brought Taco Bell in.
E
Oh, yeah.
A
Daniel smuggles in family members.
C
I do.
A
He wears long coats.
E
I have, like, a big backpack, and one of my kids was in it.
B
I saw someone sneak in a rotisserie chicken once. I'm not joking. Like, it's made the whole theater smell amazing.
E
It was a Costco Ch.
A
That's funny. So give us some stories. I was saying.
B
All right. So first movie I can remember seeing in the theaters, regardless of rating, it was Edward Scissorhands. I remember because my mom covered my eyes. When Jim, who's like the evil boyfriend of Winona Ryder, gets stabbed. Sorry, Spoiler alert. Gets stabbed by Edward Scissorhands. She covers my thing, my hand, so I'd have my eyes. I think I would have been about 4 years old when that movie came out.
C
Sam. That's an interesting one, because I would never have thought that. But I think I saw it in the theater. And that's it.
B
It was 1990.
C
Yeah, I think I saw it.
B
Great movie. Great movie. Very different.
A
Tim Burton.
B
Tim Burton film. First R rated movie I ever saw was Johnny Mnemonic with Keanu Reeves, which is a terrible movie. Johnny Mnemonic, which I think came out. I was like 9. So it had been about 95 movie I walked out of. And maybe I need to give it another. Another look. See, but it was American Hustle. I just was like, I'm done with this. There was 10 minutes left and I left. And then a movie I got really rowdy at my friends and I all got a little drunk. Was Harold and Kumar Escape Guantanamo Bay in 2008.
C
Oh, that's a stupid, fun movie. You guys ever, like, fall asleep in a movie because it was just too late? Like, you guys like, hey, you want to see the 10 o' clock showing I saw? It's a movie that I think won awards. I'm not even joking. I fell asleep.
A
I remember Another Day, Part two movie.
C
No. I woke up as, like, this movie was ending. And I'm like, I wonder if it was good. Ben Affleck and Argo. I fell asleep. The whole movie was that.
B
Wait. Yeah, he directed.
E
He directed it.
B
He directed it. I think he went down for it or something.
C
What do I know? I fell asleep.
A
You know, it was a great movie in theater. Great movie, period. But I had the privilege of seeing it in theaters. I remember loving it. Sometimes the theater experience enhances it. So your gauge is a little off. But when I saw point break in 1991, I was like, yeah, it was the coolest movie I ever seen.
C
Don't Tell me about seeing things in theaters. Covino refused to see Top Gun Maverick
A
in theaters, which might be, in my
C
opinion, arguably a top three movie I've ever seen in the theater.
E
Just as far as I would agree with you.
C
The sound, the vibe, everything. Top Gun, Maverick and Rich.
E
I remember as a little kid I got to see Goonies in the theater.
A
Oh, that's right. Yeah, that's a good one. That was what, 85?
E
Yeah.
A
All right, so any movie memories? Maybe first sports movie, Your first movie. Funny story. As we celebrate the theater. And it's good to see that it's back and Rich to tie it together that that Super Mario movie is supposed to be all sorts of record breaking this weekend.
C
Yeah, they're saying 350 plus million dollars worldwide opening weekend. I booked the tickets with the kiddos. I'm excited to go this weekend.
E
And we're getting ready for Toy Story
A
5, which looks good. That's gonna be cool. All right, let's go to the phones. Wrap crossfire. We call it old school and 50 hits. Crossfire. Let's go. Who do we got?
E
Let's start in Texas with Sean.
A
Hey, Sean.
D
Cnr. What's going on, guys? Buddy, you all are the rock stars of sports talk radio.
C
Thanks, man.
A
We're trying stars.
D
All right. Early memory was going to be Jurassic Park.
C
Oh, yeah.
D
Oh, man, is the first time seeing the Tyrannosaurus rex like in the rain, trashing that jeep, you know. And during that scene, my younger brother, he starts balling, right? Freaking out. Dad has to grab him, take him out. I trooped it out. I sat through the whole rest of it.
C
Let me tell you, the Jurassic Park. I just said Top Gun Maverick. I think as a little kid, Jurassic at the theater is a top, top moment.
A
That's a, that was a must see,
C
theater experience, theater, movie.
B
It really was a great movie, period.
A
Yeah, very cool.
E
All right, let's go to Texas. Adrian.
A
Hey, Adrian.
D
Hey, guys. How's it going?
A
What's up, man?
D
First time listener.
C
Oh, damn.
D
A first time caller. Oh, a long time listener.
C
Appreciate you, man.
D
I remember my first movie outside of the theater. I believe it was an 85. Was Rambo first blood. As being 5 years old watching that movie, man, it just blew me away just seeing that in a big screen.
C
Yo, Rambo at 5. Rambo at 5.
A
Your parents didn't give an F. First blood was 82.
C
82.
A
First blood part two was 85.
E
Adrian, are you a gun owner?
D
Yes, sir.
C
Yeah, that's funny. Of course he is. Yeah. Rambo Fox.
E
Early start. All right, let's stay in Texas. El Paso. Alex is in the house.
A
Hey, Alex.
D
Hey, what's up, guys? I've been listening to you guys for, like, the last, like, year. It's been great. You guys are. You guys. You guys host a really great show.
C
Thanks, man.
D
I guess not first film, but, like, a good memory I have was watching Stepbrothers in theaters. I remember my parents were. They were kind of in an argument, and my dad hated the movie theaters. He just absolutely hated theater. But he was just like, I'm gonna do what you do with the kids. Everything that you don't like, everything that you like to do, I'm gonna do it with the kids. And everything that. And it's everything that I hate. So he took us to go watch Stepbrothers, and I was a youngster, and I just remember seeing Will Ferrell's, like, testicles, like, on that.
E
That's funny.
A
Your dad.
C
Your dad, even your dad had a laugh at boats and hoes, right?
A
By the way, that's already 2008, if anyone's keeping score.
B
That movie's so good.
C
Yeah.
A
It's so funny.
B
The first time I saw it, I laughed so hard, like, my sides hurt.
E
Yeah.
C
Oh, that was great.
E
Yeah.
C
Do you touch my drum set? Even yesterday, Caliento did a little John C. Riley.
E
He did all right. Chad in Iowa.
C
Hey, Chad.
A
What up, Chad?
D
Hey. So I got a couple. First of all, I am in Iowa, but I'm from Oregon, so I'm a duck fan. Sorry, Sam.
B
Okay.
D
All right.
B
I was just about to ask.
C
Right.
D
All right. But my first movie, like. So you were talking about uncles. Well, ants can do it, too. In Jurassic park, the guy kind of stole my thunder. I went and saw that with her, and during. When T. Rex first came out, I literally pretended like I dropped something and hid under the seat.
C
Yeah. Because honestly, if you're.
A
If you're a millennial, only movie your aunt took you to, if you're a
C
millennial and you're roughly, you know, 40ish or so. So Jurassic park might have been like your first. Like, whoa, that's a huge movie. 19. What? 1990, right? 95. Yeah. So, yeah, you're probably, like, a preteen. If you're a millennial. That's. That's a big one. 93.
A
Let's take one or two more. Wrap it.
C
Know what I remember seeing? I felt like, oh, I'm a little young, but I like it. I saw Pulp Fiction at the theater as, like, a 14 year old was it? 94. So I was like 14. And I remember being, I remember being like a teenager being like, yo, I felt really cool.
A
Like I saw P. Fiction is a great year for movies, cuz. It was Pulp Fiction.
C
It was Forest Gump.
A
Forest Gump, Shawshank Shank. Exactly.
E
So Rich, that drug overdose scene, that bothered me as a, you know.
A
Oh yeah, that was a teenager stabbing
C
it with a needle. Yeah.
B
There's a lot of scenes in that movie that will bother you if you're not ready for it.
E
Yeah.
D
Yeah.
E
All right, let's. Before we go to DB's update, let's wrap things up with Seth in Florida.
C
You mean when he shot the guy in the head in the backseat of the car? I was like, oh yeah, that and
B
the gimp and all kinds of stuff. The actor who played the gimp just died.
E
Hey Seth, what's up?
D
I have a take on movies. Whenever someone asks me if I've seen a movie, my one acceptable lie is I always say bits and pieces. And there's only two movies I'll watch whenever they're on. That's Talladega Night and 21 Jump Street. What do you think about that?
C
Those are good. Those are good movies.
A
I've seen. Bits and pieces.
D
Pretty good.
A
Thank you, man. Appreciate it. Thank you guys for chiming in. More of your responses at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Old school and 50 hits. Dan Beyer. Hey, DB, what's up buddy?

Raiders will pay 1.3 million and then he's due a roster bonus in March of 2027. The Raiders, by the way, will host quarterback Fernando Mendoza for a top 30 visit on Tuesday. He was a two time All Pro, five time Pro Bowler, played 13 years in the NFL. Cornerback Stefan Gilmore announced today he's retiring from the game. Pistons guard Cade Cunningham will be reevaluated in a week as he continue with his collapse long. The Twins homered three times at the top of the ninth inning in their 51 win over the Royals in Kansas City. Pirates are calling up 19 year old shortstop Connor Griffin for tomorrow's game against the Orioles. He'll be the first teenager to play in the big league since 2019. Former Cy Young Award winning pitcher Trevor Bauer is going to pitch for the long Island Ducks in the independent Atlantic League. Some college basketball news on the women's side of things. Iowa State basketball star Audi Crooks is entering the transfer portal. She averaged almost 26 points per game this season. That was second best in the women's game. UConn Sarah Strong named the AP Women's College Basketball basketball player of the year. Vanderbilt head coach Shay Ralph was named the women's coach of the year by the Associated Press.

Jordan Spieth is also playing this weekend in San Antonio. Spieth finds himself one under par through 11 holes. Phil Mickelson announced that he will not be playing in the Masters next week. The three time Masters champion is taking an extended leave from playing as his family is dealing with a personal health matter now. It's the first time since 1994 that the Masters will not have Phil Mickelson and Tiger woods or Tiger woods in the event. Tiger's body cam footage came out today from his arrest on Friday and at one point he was quoted as saying he was making a call to President Trump as he was held by authorities.
C
Guys, back to you when you said Mickelson and I thought immediately of Tiger and it's like, remember when that stat came out, it was the first playoffs in the NFL without a Manning or Tom Brady. Yes, Golf tournament without Mickelson or Tiger. It's been a minute, huh?
F
Yes, absolutely. I think Tiger made his amateur debut in 95, then won it professionally in 97. But yeah, with Mickelson being out, obviously he's playing with Liv Golf, but there's been some family stuff going on. He's not going to be there next week either.
C

I'm about to make Moncy peanut butter and jealous bro because the show and tell old school throwback Thursday.
C
Okay.
A
And I'm the only guy that passed the assignment Rich failure face. Davis had to go to the trunk again because he forgot. Just like the nose picking dirty kid in school whose parents didn't care.
C
He didn't bring a show until it's like the I'll tell you what it is.
A
Don't tell me what it is. I don't want to hear excuses.
C
No, no, I'm saying it's. I was playing wiffle ball with my son.
A
That's a reason, not an excuse. You're a grown man.
C
I looked at my Phone like, oh, crap. I got to leave for work.
E
And I mony wasn't even officially on our show today, and she brought a show and tell item.
C
Monty, that's a hot item right now.
A
Yeah. I'll give you five hundo for it.
B
We already talked about this.
A
5, 500. And maybe something from my show and tell. Okay, so let me show you what I brought, okay? Because I'm not bringing it back again.
E
And he'll take you to the movies and put his arm around you.
A
We talked. That's right. That's part of the promise.
C
Extra buttery popcorn.
A
So look, extra butter, for sure. Back to sports, because we talked a lot about movies. And what sport is popping more than any sport in the game right now? Baseball, dude. My first true love.
C
Look at this.
A
And I collected baseball cards like. Like no one else. And I made some sweet trades. I ripped kids off. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I would trade them a Willie Randolph for Bob Clemente because they had no idea who it was.
C
I don't know this Bob guy, but my dad has.
A
I would see kids with crazy cards that belong to their uncles or dads. I'd be like, I'll give you this Claudell Washington for that, you know, guy they never heard of.
C
You always tell the story about how, who's Willie Stargell?
A
Don't worry about it. I'll take it.
C
Well, do you. You remember tricking a kid? Cause he's like, who's Lou Alcinda? Yeah.
A
Who's the last cinder? Don't worry about it. Here's a Willie Randolph. And, you know, I would rummage to my uncle's collections, and I have a frame here. An ex girlfriend bought me this frame, but I put some of my favorites in it. And, you know, hey, maybe you do something like this in your man cave. Does Dan Patrick's man cave have one of these? Probably not, but it's just some of my favorites. It's not my best ones. It was some of my favorites that we grew up with. And you got everybody from Mickey Mantle to Reggie Jackson's rookie, Tom Seaver's rookie, Rookie Roberto Clemente, Cal Ripken, Ozzie Smith's rookie. These are all some of my Hank Aaron right there. Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle. So these are some of my favorites, and it's on my future man cave wall right now. I just have it in storage. And again, I have so many great cards, but they're in a magical shoebox somewhere else.
C
That's a nice David Tom Seaver there. Yeah.
A
So There you go.
C
Your show and tell. The Yoda Yoshi coveted bobblehead from Dodger Stadium.
A
It's so hot right now.
B
It's really cute. Is it a cross promotion between the New Mario Movie and Yoshinobu Yamamoto?
A
Correct. Okay, Correct.
C
And people were punching each other in the neck at Dodger Stadium to get
E
this yesterday and lining up at 7am
B
yeah, there were some people there very early.
A
Let's just say that.
C
My God, look at that. You have a couple gull shirt on. Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld, who had their baby.
B
That's why I'm wearing.
A
My friend gave me this as a
D
joke one time, and I've never worn it.
B
I felt like it was appropriate to wear.
C
You don't want to see my show and tell? I found an old headshot of mine from 10 years ago in my car.
A
You mean that?
C
And the cologne Monty gave me for Christmas.
E
By the way, I chose Jones. Jones. 199 out of our chat's the winner. He said, why do you guys have a headshot of Dane Cook in the studio?
A
Nice. Nice.
B
That's so good.
A
I thought it was Evi Manning, bro. All right, so, hey, thank you for playing along. And we got over Promise next. And we're about to tell the wildest story, pun intended, Intended. About Wilder. All right.
C
Arriva dare you, baby.
A
See you in the over promised land. Later, guys. This is an I heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
Date: April 3, 2026
Hosts: Steve Covino, Rich Davis, Danny G, with callers and contributors
Theme: Nostalgia, Movie Theater Memories, Old School Pop Culture, and Baseball Cards
This throwback episode celebrates the anniversary of the first permanent movie theater in LA—the Talley Theater, opened on this day in 1902. Covino & Rich riff on their earliest movie theater memories, discuss the evolution of the theater experience, share personal anecdotes and mishaps, and take lively listener calls about iconic first films and theater stories. The show’s latter part briefly touches on baseball card collecting, connecting to the ongoing "show and tell" theme. Sprinkled throughout are laughs, jabs, and tangents that embody the spirit of old-school radio and communal nostalgia.
| Caller/Host | First/Notable Movie | Memorable Moment | |------------------|----------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Covino | 48 Hours | Mom pulled out for cursing (06:02) | | Rich | Ninja Turtles, Pulp Fiction | Saw the wrong/too mature movies as a kid (03:00, 34:27) | | Manny (El Paso) | Godzilla, La Bamba (Drive-in) | Witnessed an NSFW moment; caught La Bamba drive-in remake mention | | Eddie (Indiana) | Star Wars | “Sets you up for everything after” (16:11) | | Tripp (Vegas) | My Father, The Hero | Teenage “departing” for romance, info on Gerard Depardieu film | | Sean (Texas) | Jurassic Park | Little brother freaked at T-rex, dad had to leave (31:11) | | Alex (El Paso) | Stepbrothers | Saw with parents during family argument, “boats n hoes” |
Fans of the Covino & Rich show—and anyone who’s grown up with both movie theaters and VHS tapes—will find themselves reflected in these stories of firsts, friendships, flops, and family. The hosts’ chemistry, the blend of sports and pop culture, and lively audience participation make this a quintessential “Throwback Thursday” episode.
