Large Than Life and Stranger Than Fiction:
Summer Films at Images Cinema

This conversation with Doug Jones, Director of Images Cinema, was to have aired last week, but, due to technical malfusion, had to be delayed until this episode. As such, please note that references made to the films “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl,” and “The Fantastic Mr. Fox” refer to showings that have already passed. We regret this delay and apologize for any confusion (or irritation) this may have caused.

THAT SAID, everything else in this discussion is some great film-talk with Doug, who has curated a dizzying lineup of titles that has something for everyone. Start this weekend off with “The Wolf Pack.”
