Movie Podcast Weekly Ep. 004: Paranormal Activity 4 (2012)

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.
