0:00.0	You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.
0:04.6	Christopher Media. Let's make some noise. Welcome to the projection booth. I'm your host, Mike White, coming to you with a special bonus episode of the Projection Booth podcast.
0:38.7	A few months ago, we talked about the film Death Game and all of its various incarnations,
0:43.0	including the 2015 version Knock Knock, directed by Eli Roth.
0:48.3	And we weren't necessarily done with that discussion.
0:53.0	Found out after that one was in the can, as it were,
0:56.6	that there was more to talk about when it comes to that particular film. So I wanted to give
1:03.1	you some updates. This is kind of unusual. Normally, I would have a co-host on something like this

1:25.5	One of the things that was questioned on that episode was

1:46.2	One of the theories posited was that the girls are allegedly underage in the film,
1:51.9	and they didn't want to have these underage girls in a theatrical movie.
1:57.8	I don't know if I necessarily believe that or not,
2:00.0	because I don't necessarily believe
2:01.9	that the girls in the film are underage, nor are they played by underage actresses. So
2:07.5	that's one of the theories. One of the other things that I found out was that there is a beautiful
2:14.8	print of Death Game out there.
2:22.8	It's supposed to be 2.35 to 1, you know, scope and just look gorgeous.
