FLICKER OF THE WEEK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cabin fever be gone! \u201cFOW<\/strong>\u201d alternately stands for \u201cfresh outdoor weather\u201d this week as we encourage you to rekindle patronage of your friendly neighborhood drive-in theaters since they have awakened from their winter slumber! Early-season programming is usually heavy with also-rans, but, will you and\/or your family and\/or your friends and\/or your romantic partner care very much with the windows cracked open and car seats dropped back? The closest in proximity to the C-U is the Harvest Moon Twin Drive-in<\/strong> in Gibson City<\/strong>, which plays ZOOTOPIA<\/strong> and BATMAN V SUPERMAN<\/strong> for the second straight frame on April 1-3<\/strong> at dusk. Farther out is the Route 66 Twin Drive-in<\/strong> on the Springfield<\/strong> outskirts, where the double features on April 1-2<\/strong> will be ZOOTOPIA<\/strong> (8:10 p.m.) with STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS<\/strong> (10:10 p.m.) on Screen 1 and BATMAN V SUPERMAN<\/strong> (7:55 p.m.) with GODS OF EGYPT<\/strong> (10:40 p.m.) on Screen 2. Finally, Indianapolis<\/strong> citizens should visit nearby Martinsville<\/strong> where the Centerbrook Drive-in<\/strong>, operated by our friend and columnist Tyler Tharpe<\/strong>, is now open for big-screen fun with BATMAN V SUPERMAN<\/strong> (8:25 p.m.) and DEADPOOL<\/strong> (10:25 p.m.) on April 1-2<\/strong>. Go ozoner, film fans!<\/p>\n
