    So lovely to have a Drive in that is easily accessible and doesn't require me to drive like 90 minutes to a rural area! This one is right in Torrance and shows movies on Friday nights during the summer. Same location as the flea market and near lots of local businesses. Pro tip: grab some takeout nearby and bring it with you in your car at the drive in! Being that retro things are cool now I was expected a massive crowd but it was so nice to only have 10 cars there as I got a prime spot in front of the screen. They normally have a snack bar open but the night I went they didn't, and so they offered us complimentary water and coffee to make up for not having the bad open. The only thing I would improve was the audio transmission through the FM station wasn't that great as it had a low buzz to it that you could hear during quieter scenes. Still I can't complain too much. $25 per car not per person. Great deal! You can buy tickets in advance online but still it doesn't get busy (usually) you can just do it at the front entrance. They take credit cards but charge a bit to use it.

    Visited on Monday, 06/20/22 for the first time. HUGGGEE Flea Market (aka Swapmeet). At night this lot transfers into an outdoor movie theater (never experienced before). Somewhat ample parking but very narrow and can be challenging at times. Monday was moderately crowded. Parking was not free when we arrived. ($1.50 total - $1.00 per vehicle AND driver + $0.50 per additional passenger). This swapmeet has it all - Costco goodies, clothes, electronics, you name it. There is also a Cafe (Roadium Cafe). Overall 4/5 - I recommend bringing a hat and sunscreen as it was extremely hot when I was there.

    Radium Drive-In, going back in time.

    What a great experience and so nostalgia we had here, to go back in time if just for a few hours to relive the good old days going to the drive in. The Roadium has always been around when this drive in closed in the mid 80 it was used and is currently as an open air swap market, this place is always crowed, driving on Redondo beach Blvd in between Crenshaw Blvd and Van Ness Ave you can't miss the bright yellow sign. It was $25.00 per car or truck, you could also purchase your tickets on line as well, there was a line to get in because the gates did not open till 7 pm and the movie stared around 8:15 pm staff was generally nice to everyone i saw. There was a snack bar plus restrooms in the rear, there is an armed security officer patrolling the driver in in a golf car, Oh after 9 pm they lock the gates. Ferris Bueller's Day Off was the 1986 classic movie playing that night, there so many classic old school cars, vintage and convertible vehicles, also people were dress to the drive in day. Movies will be playing every Friday night in Aug. 05, Despicable Me, Aug./12, Field of dreams, Aug./19, Gone in 60 seconds, Aug./ 26, American graffiti. Yes happy days was here again if only for three months.

    Great Independent single scree theater!…read more Attended a (sold out) screening with a q&a afterwards and had a great time. I will say, if you are attending a popular screening that will be sold out or close to sold out, and you want to buy concessions, it may be best to get there 45-1 hour before. They only have one register and are a small team, I waited in line for a little more than 30 mins and I arrived 30 mins before the screening. The staff are friendly and great! Seats are comfortable for being standard non-recliners. Im looking forward to coming back!

This theater was on my radar since then and on Thursday a friend posted on her story that they were screening Dinner in America with a Q&A with the writer/director and producer and later, Emily Skeggs!! I got a ticket so fast and pushed my concert plans to the side for this. I saw Dinner in America for the first time, last year after the Kanopy app randomly recommended it to me. I watched it and loved this film so much, but when I found out it came out in 2020, I was bummed I'd never get to see it on the big screen. Thanks to Gardena Cinema I was able to see it with a sea of people and not just alone on my phone 29 times. While we were waiting for the film to start, the owner came up to the mic and talked about the history of the theater and how her family came to own it after immigrating to the U.S. in the 70's. Yesterday was the national shutdown strike, but honestly it's hard on small businesses everywhere and I saw so many of these businesses say they were staying open and supporting in one way or another. Judy did the same and gave an impromptu moving talk about what's going on in the world and why it was important to still go on with the screening of this film; because it's punk as fuck! I love this film down BAD because it is exactly that and more. This film is my Heated Rivalry for real. Getting here was easy from the O.C. and parking was a dream!! There's a big parking lot connected to the theater and it's free. I love the multi colored letters of the marquee out front as it really stands out against the background of the city. Inside it's a small lobby then straight into the 1 theater. I was shocked at how far back the seating goes. Other small art house theaters it's not that big inside but here there's so much seating. The seats are small though, like from the 1940's small, but I was able to sit comfortably the whole film. I stayed for the Q&A and was able to ask one question about the soundtrack and release of the Psyops songs and found out it was in the works. Emily Skeggs said hi to me as I was about to ask my question and I was done. After that, I like teared up for some weird reason. It was such a great evening and hearing Judy's story and that this theater is run completely by volunteers was so heartwarming. These theaters are so special to me because they show the cult films and are able to bring out the cast and crew for Q&A which is something you don't get at chain theaters. I genuinely will make an effort to support art house cinemas this year and in particular Gardena Cinema because it is punk AF!

There's something special about watching movies at a drive in that regular theaters just can't match. The area itself is nice and spacious, and one of my favorite things is opening up the back of a large suburban car, setting up blankets, and getting super cozy while watching the screen. It feels relaxed, fun, and perfect for spending time with friends or family. The cafeteria is another big plus. The food is surprisingly good and very affordable, which makes it easy to grab snacks or meals without overspending. It definitely satisfies cravings and adds to the overall experience. If you're looking for a fun, nostalgic, and comfortable way to watch movies, Paramount Drive In Theaters is a must visit. Highly recommend.

    4.5 stars My husband…read moreand I ($26 for the two of us) went and watched Five Nights at Freddy's 2 movie here and I would like to say it was a fun experience for the most part. We enjoyed watching the movie and not bothering anyone else with our little one too much(under a year old). I would like to say that it was our first time here and though we made it on time for our movie when I tried calling ahead 10 minutes to show time to see if (ex) a 7:30 show time is a hard start to a movie or there's trailers no one was there to answer the phone and I was already going to run 10 minutes late to my movie, I tried 3+ times. I'm the type of person who hates missing anything in a movie as it ruins the experience for me. I really wish that they had someone to watch the phone incase someone else had those kinds of questions. I will say for anyone wondering as of right now I don't THINK a (ex) 7:30 show starts exactly at 7:30 but more like 7:40. I would have to come again to see. The audio for the movie was great and the only "glitches" we had was when my car fully turned off every so often or Siri heard her name when no one spoke it (personal phone glitch). The visual on the screen was good too for the most part but might have been better if my windows weren't so bad. At the snack stand they had hotdogs, popcorn, some good selection of ice cream etc. , I wish I got the menus picture. I got myself a bottle of soda and two pizza slices. The pizza wasn't great but it was edible at least. I will say it's a great thing to that at the snack stand they have the option for you to buy a radio so you don't have to use your cars battery. But if your car does die, like someone's did, they are able to jump it for you. I would say one of the funnest parts, to an animal lover like me, was the fact they have cats that roam the theaters parking lot/outdoor area. They are shy creatures but a pure black one an employee nicknamed toothless was real sweet.
