0:00.0	I'm I'm Travis Hunter, joined as always by my co-host, my sister, and my brother-in-law.
0:34.4	Hi, I'm Renee Hunter Vasquez. Hi, I'm John Paul Vasquez. This week, we're broadcasting live from Melody Lane Tavern and Devil's Kettle,
0:41.3	discussing the 2009 horror comedy, Jennifer's Body.
0:45.0	This film was directed by Karin Kusama off a screenplay written by Diablo Cody.
