Premise: Based on historical events, “Argo” depicts the rescue attempt of six U.S. embassy personnel who were holed up at a Canadian ambassador’s house during the Iran hostage crisis, which took place between 1979 and 1981.

Review: While watching “Argo,” I couldn’t help but wonder how this story hadn’t been adapted to the silver screen sooner. The full story wasn’t revealed until 1997, but I’m surprised we didn’t have a movie version at least by 1998. Truly, it’s one of those instances of “truth is stranger than fiction.” It’s also one of those “It’s so crazy, it just might work” kind of plans. I’ll describe the overview of said plan in broad strokes, without spoiling what happens, in case you haven’t seen the movie and aren’t familiar with the history. Continue reading →

In this epic, 2 hour and 18-minute episode, Jason talks with horror critics Jamie Jenkins and Midnight Corey about “Paranormal Activity 4.” Typically we try to keep our episodes between 60 to 70 minutes in length, but we were just having so much fun talking about movies, we lost track of time. Apologies for any inconvenience, but we think you’re going to love this episode.

JAMIE JENKINS is a host on Devour the Podcast (a horror movie show) and Evil Episodes (a horror TV podcast). Jamie can also be found at Horrorphilia.com. You can find the Viscera Film Festival here. And this is where you can view Jamie’s short film: “Secret Shopper.”
