Most of us watch Internet dancing videos like it’s our job as it is – what if bingeing on giggle-inducing dance moves could actually help someone else pay the bills? That’s the deal The Grand Cinema has struck with several film distributors whose products would otherwise be languishing on the shelf. They’ve got a stuffed-full schedule of movies that viewers can stream for the price of a Grand ticket, and more coming online every week. Everybody wins — the filmmakers get their movies in front of eyeballs, the theater gets some cash flow while they’re closed by the quarantine and the audience — those of us who feel a city isn’t a city unless it has an arthouse theater — get to do what we can to keep The Grand Cinema alive during the lean time. Of course, movies are better with craft beer. Therefore, Peaks and Pints pairs three of the films screening in The Grand’s Virtual Screening Room with a craft beer.
