Geeks in the Round: FANTASTIC FOUR (Black Tribbles Spoiled Tribbles)

Straight Outta Compton in Philly
We sent our roving reporter Jessica Lucky out this week to cover the preview screening of the movie STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON and post Q&A at Riverview Theater. Below is her write up & pics: Why so much security for a simple Q&A with the director of a soon-to-be cult classic?
