Palomazos S1E91 - The Cinema Experience in Germany

How much going to the movies changes from country to country? Do we have a similar offering on what moves can we watch, in what languages on different places? Different markets prioritize national films over the Hollywood exports?

To talk about this on the German Market is that we are honored to have Matthias Keller as our guest, so we can discuss the differences on how we can enjoy experiences as simple as watching a movie.

Want some of the numbers we discussed? You can check it in here, here or here. And you can check film offerings here. 

Live streaming will start at 10:00 AM (Central Time US, Mexico City Time) 5:00 PM (Berlín Time)
Live Streaming also available at YouTube, Facebook y Periscope. Downloadable audio is available here.


 

Matthias got us an excellent view of the general market that you can check it here.
