| 0:00.0 | Hello, listeners. This is Brian. I am coming to you today with a special announcement. |
| 0:08.8 | We have, and we've talked about this a little bit on the show, but we wanted to just do a real |
| 0:14.3 | quick plug for it, as it is this week, Wednesday, May 13th, a special screening of a movie that we discovered within the last year or so |
| 0:26.3 | and love, and that is The JAR from 1984, directed by Bruce Tuscano. |
| 0:33.5 | And we are doing a collaborative screening with antenna releasing at Brain Dead Studios here in Los Angeles, which is at 611 North Fairfax Avenue. |
| 0:44.8 | And this Wednesday night at 7.30 p.m. we are going to intro the screening, and we would love it if you could come out. |
| 0:55.9 | Tickets are available. I will put a link to the tickets in the notes for this announcement. But I'm just going to read our little |

| 1:42.3 | The bottle contains a demon who proceeds to possess him, |
| 1:45.1 | that's all you need to know. And the less you know, the better. This is true, I must agree. |
| 1:49.9 | The jar, aka Charon, was released by Magnum Entertainment in 1984 and was omnipresent in video |
| 1:55.8 | rental stores. While the film was shot in scope, the distributor released it in a butchered, cropped presentation, |
| 2:02.7 | cutting out about half of the intended frame in a murky VHS transfer. |
| 2:07.2 | TerraVision has restored Charon slash the jar using a partial camera negative, |
| 2:12.4 | along with a print to finally offer the director Bruce Tuscano unique vision in all its beautiful color drenched glory, |
