The Frame: Summer Movie Special

Specials | May 25, 2018

The Summer is a time for cooling off in air-conditioned movie theaters, watching big movies that everyone's talking about and discovering small films you're glad you saw. But how did Summer movie line-ups get that way? What does it take to release a blockbuster? And what are some less well-known movies coming out this Summer that you should see? All this and more will be answered in the first KPCC Summer Movie Special hosted by The Frame's John Horn and LA Times film writer Jen Yamato.

Hear interviews with some of the filmmakers behind: Jurassic World, The Incredibles 2, Oceans 8, Sorry To Bother You, Crazy Rich Asians, The Spy Who Dumped Me, Blindspotting, Eighth Grade, the remake of Superfly and more.
