It's Midday At the Movies, our monthly look at films and filmmaking, and Tom is joined again by two of our favorite movie buffs: Ann Hornaday, the film critic for The Washington Postand author of the best-selling movie-goers guide, Talking Pictures: How to Watch Movies; and Jed Dietz, the founder and former director of the Maryland Film Festival and the historic Parkway Theatre.

They'll discuss the continuing impact COVID-19 is having on Hollywood production and brick-and-mortar movie box office revenues. A new survey shows that more than half the American public is not yet comfortable returning to live screenings.

They'll also talk about the best of last month's 2022 Sundance Film Festival, including the documentary We Need to Talk About Cosby, now streaming on Showtime, and the critically acclaimed feature Jockey, opening February 11 at Baltimore's Charles Theater and regional cinemas. Plus, they'll spotlight the powerful new documentary, Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America, now playing in select theaters.
