In April of 2012, Jason and Joel were invited to present a panel at PariahCon, a convention held in central Florida. Jason had the idea to present a panel on practical vs. CGI FX, whereas Joel thought a panel on the fine art of being a "Best Boy" (look it up) would draw in the crowds. Needless to say, Jason (thankfully) won out. (All the movie links below are Amazon Affiliate links. So, if you decide to buy a copy of one of these movies, please use these links.
