Movie theatres are going the way of the dodo if mainstream audiences have anything to do with it. Theatre chains rarely have a curated month to month or even week to week program, except for a handful of a dying breed. Alamo Drafthouse has closed its doors on the borderland leaving an empty field for local cinephiles who called it home for over a decade in two locations, Montecillo and the newer Alamo East.
Not all hope is lost as the movie palace is set to open under a new rebrand adding into the number of Flix Brewhouses in El Paso to a total of three in the city. Join this edition of On Film with guest host Carlos de la Torre to discuss this controversial decision is fellow moviegoer, writer, cinephile, and former creative associated programming at Alamo Drafthouse is Oscar Garza.
This program originally aired on February 14, 2026.
