I probably would have just said "movie"....lol

In my area, "show" and "movie" are used interchangeably. If it's a concert or a play, we say concert or play, not show.

Ground beef.

A show means a movie. It's not an age thing, but it is a regional thing in my experience.

Movie. Motion picture show. Moving picture show.

The Last Picture Show

Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I've never in my life heard anyone say, "let's see a show" and mean a movie. If they meant "movie" they said "movie."

I agree, this sounds like something my grandparents might say, if they were still alive!
