COVID-19 Movie Cancellations - a podcast by Back Lot 605

Welcome to the “Premier South Dakota Movie Podcast”, where each week hosts Casey and Brian discuss the latest news, box office, and film topics from the last week. This week was a doozy! With the world coming to a halt because of the COVID-19 outbreak, everything was thrown into near chaos. Including our show. This week we decided to take a step back and recoup from all the madness in the world. We do not have a main topic for the week, rather we discuss the podcast going forward in this chaos and how the film industry has been affected.
