How do you listen to drive-in tracks?

We've been doing drive-in commentary tracks for a year and a half now, and I'm curious to get an idea of who is listening day one and who is waiting.

Please lemme know down below!

Also feel free to share any feedback you may have for drive-in tracks. Are they easy enough to sync up? Do you love/hate when I talk about what's going on around me at the drive-in? Etc

If I had a cinema close to me I would 100% double dip on a film to watch it once in theatres without the track and once in theatres with the track.

I personally find the moments you talk about what’s going on around you really funny! Like the people turning their lights on or walking around your van and scaring you

I've done a few tracks in theaters, but only later on when the theater is mostly empty. I don't want to laugh at inappropriate times around a crowd of people lol. I recommend bone conduction earbuds, makes it easy to hear both at once.

To be honest I adore being able to listen to some of these tracks in theaters because I don’t have a lot of friends who’ll go with me? But with the tracks I feel way less alone even if I’m just one gal buying a ticket to a movie and seeing it by myself. It’s less for lack of a better word lonely? This is really sad I’m sorry but honestly they rock. Please keep doing them. 💕 it made violent night so rad. 🤘🏻

I'd like to start taking tracks into the theatre because I find a lot of things funnier in situations when I'm not supposed to laugh so I'd probably have a great time, but I'm worried about getting out of sync

I really enjoy taking your tracks to the theater! My favorite experiences so far have been Scream 5 and Ambulance

Too hard to sync up tracks if I can't use my computer. I kinda also like to have seen what you're watching b4 hand because I like to predict how you'll react to stuff

I try to catch as many movies as I can in the theater if you make a track for it! It's super helpful on those days when my buddies don't want to hit the movies w/ me

The theater I usually go to has a little wall dividing the corner and side seats from the stair aisle so I'll sit in a corner or side and put one airpod in the ear that's facing the wall. This works great for me because I don't have to worry about my airpod accidentally being too loud for someone next to me and if I have to hold in a laugh at something funny In the track I can just turn my head and and face the wall so I don't look like a crazy person trying to hold back laughter in a serious scene surrounded between people

Oh and yes, they're just as easy to sync up as any other track I've never had any problems 😁👍

Depends on the movie but I almost always see it in theaters. I usually have seen it once before. Listen to where the sync will be and then go see it again. I love listening to it in theaters. And have even brought a friend and we listened in theaters. We were in an empty theater so we watched the watch us watch with it lol

i usually wait for them to go one digital and watch it (illegally) with the track then but i found scream 6 (illegally) while it was still in theatres and watched it when the track came out.

I've done 2 at the theater: Ambulance track on my first viewing and Top Gun Maverick track on my second viewing. Both by myself in fairly empty big theaters. I did have a slip-up where things fell out of sync during Ambulance (forget how) but managed to get it back. Almost went to see Insidious: The Red Door a second time for the track but ended up just listening to it like a podcast which actually worked very well. I feel like personally, most of the ones you do at the drive-in are ones I usually want to see without the commentary first, but I look forward to more that I can bring with me on the first viewing for sure.

A bit of both for me depends on the movie and when the track releases. If its something i don't care to see in cinema or already watched before the track for one reason or another then i will wait for a digital copy to watch at home.

i dont go to the movies very frequently so for all the drive in movies youve done i have planned to wait until streaming anyways. When a drive in track comes out for something i will see in theaters than i will sync it up with headphones. just hasnt happened yet

Josiah Neville-Hoult · July 13, 2023

I've done 3 tracks in cinema and syncing them up stresses me out cause you only get the one chance, but I haven't messed up so far. 2 of the tracks I'd seen already but went back again to listen with commentary, the other was a first time viewing. I've also listened to some once the movies were available digitally so half and half for me. I really enjoy the format, and definitely love the comments on your surroundings in any of the Ruth tracks, not just drive-in ones.

I'm too scared to go to the cinema, in case I fuck up the press pause moment or something seeing as I can't rewind the movie. I usually have already seen the movie in theaters, and then download a POS cam copy of the film for your tracks, or on the odd occasion I just wait until it officially hits streaming. But either way I re-listen to the tracks when the movie hits digital.

I illegally download the hdcam and have gotten really good at pausing the commentary when the slots ad with the guy putting things in a blender interrupt the rip

It's become required to do this sometimes here the drive in closed and all theatres check and once sussed me having a phone and headphones and such

I listen to ‘em like podcasts after I’ve seen the movie. Had the Insidious track going while I was walking home from the theater, having just seen Insidious.
