    1. This month marks the return of midnight theatrical features (both first run and repertory) to Nitehawk Cinema, Alamo Drafthouse. Metrograph and IFC Center, all of which stopped them when the COVID Pandemic started. Another step toward New York City movie theaters' slow return to normalcy. :-D
