“Empire Records” turns 25 years this year. In honor of that and to give fans something fun to do during quarantine, Ethan Embry (Mark), went to Twitter to get some of the original cast and fans to all watch the movie at the same time together and live tweet about it with the hashtag #DamnTheMan. Even better for all the super fans out there, he did this on “Rex Manning Day” (April 8th in the film).

Ethan went to twitter and said “Hit Play on your copy of Empire Records at 1:37pm PT, and we will eat brownies and listen to Gin Blossoms together while we wear our plaid pleated skirts at home”.

Johnny Whitworth, who played AJ in the film, joined in on the fun as well as Gin Blossoms who had the hit single from the film “Til I Hear It From You”.

Tons of fans followed suite and watched the film and live tweeted about it the entire time. The cast members tweeted stories about certain scenes and memories about the film. In a time of quarantine, when we all have to be separate, it was nice to be transported back to a much simpler time, the 1990s.
