PAN’S LABYRINTH celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, and actor Doug Jones is joining us on the podcast this week! The frequent Guillermo Del Toro collaborator shares his life at the movies, from watching THE WIZARD OF OZ on a black and white TV, to seeing SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE in theaters over and over again, to the record breaking standing ovation for PAN’S LABYRINTH at Cannes. We take some detours to talk CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON and WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS - with a sprinkle of GLITTER. We’re talking about everything from classic monsters to romance and pop divas.
