For our “Grow Up!” film series, we’re exploring adolescence in all its lusty, zitty, complicated glory. Through December 2020, we’ll be celebrating movies from all over the genre map that show just how joyful and confounding being a teenager can be.
You’re invited to join us at 6 p.m. PT this Saturday, October 17, as MoPOP Production Associate Kasi Gaarenstroom, MoPOP Manager of Public Engagement Robert Rutherford, and special guest Becky Cloonan lead an online watchalong and virtual discussion of Pan’s Labyrinth.
Becky Cloonan is a comic book artist, writer, and creator who in 2012 was the first female artist to draw the main Batman title for DC Comics. She also illustrated The Criterion Collection edition cover of Pan’s Labyrinth, where she got to work with Guillermo Del Toro himself! You can find Becky on Twitter, and check out her website!

- Pre-film introduction with MoPOP’s Kasi Gaarenstroom and It’s Coming from Inside the House watchalong host, MoPOP Manager of Public Engagement Robert Rutherford, plus special guest Becky Cloonan
- Cheap-as-heck quarantine cosplay!
- Cocktails, mocktails, beer, and wine-pairing recommendations
- Chat with Kasi, Robert, Becky, and other fans during the film
- Post-film discussion on how Pan’s Labyrinth exemplifies the horrors of growing up!
As with all of our virtual watchalongs, to participate you’ll need to register in advance, and then on event day make sure you have a copy of the film queued up and ready to watch on your end while keeping an eye on your e-mail inbox for a link to join our online discussion.
