Why a boutique video label is taking over L.A.’s theaters, plus the week’s best movies
Los Angeles Times — June 20, 2026
We created Hollywood Entertainment to entertain and educate filmgoers by screening and preserving eclectic, underseen, non-commercial, rare, and socially beneficial films and film-related artifacts.
In April 2020, we started near-daily themed streams (then called Moviepassed) to entertain each other and our friends while raising money for embattled causes in the arts and our communities. As we grew we were able to raise money for charities, mutual aids, arts organizations, and more through raffles and film-themed fundraisers.
Our evolution into Hollywood Entertainment and our 501(c)(3) status reflects our ambitions to screen adventurous programs and create fun, exciting, and thought-provoking events that push the boundaries of repertory cinema in Los Angeles and worldwide.

"December 17 was the bestest night in the whole wide world for Clifford fans..."
New York Magazine / Vulture — November 21, 2022
"What if we told you that in just a few weeks, you could go to a screening of the 1994 comedy-cult classic Clifford in Los Angeles, then watch Martin Short, Richard Kind, director Paul Flaherty, and other special guests talk about it afterwards with known Clifford superfan Tom Scharpling serving as moderator? That would be pretty cool, right? You’d probably freak out like a 10-year-old boy, yes?"

"On Twitch during the pandemic, MoviePassed and Spectacle NYC appear to be the models for streaming..."

"On Twitch is this…I don’t know who it is. This Twitch channel called MoviePassed. And it is fucking incredible. All the programming they do is like thematic blocks. You know…”Movies about L.A.!” “Movies with Drew Barrymore!” “Movies about The Grateful Dead!” It’s all over the place. It’s my favorite Twitch channel. I watch it every night when I can’t find something else to watch, and get stoned and zone out on that [laughs]."
