First In Line

First In Line

Tired of movie reviews? Us too. Let’s talk about what happens before the movie. Host, Jacob Beals, takes pride in being “First in Line” for every blockbuster that comes out. He’ll discuss the hype surrounding a big movie, what the expectations from fans of a genre, actor, or director are, then take you on a journey which may include the car ride over, standing in line, the snacks, previews, the seating arrangement, and all the other intangibles that go along with the pre-movie experience. If you’re lucky, Jacob will even tell if you if he liked the movie! “First in Line” is a podcast for people who love the entire movie experience on the Cumulus Media Des Moines Podcast Network.
