It’s the end of Phoenix Comicon 17 and we have our wrap-up of the entire event. Chuck Tomasi of the Technorama Podcast joins in on the conversation where in our first segment we discuss the myriad of things we each participated in, as well as the incident that saw an increase in Security at the convention. We follow it up with our birthdays along with some “bumper fun,” and in our second segment we cover all of the films we saw at the various blocks that are all part of the Phoenix Comicon Film Festival. Because of the enormous amount of content we had to cover this episode turned out to be longer than most.
As always we welcome your feedback, so please let us know what you think. Good or bad, we want to know.
Thank you for listening, we really do appreciate you taking time out of your day to spend with us.

Horror Film Shorts
Hidden Daylight
Director: Adrienne Lovette

United States, 18min
“We follow a distraught businessman after his wife is abducted by the sadistic Hacksaw Killer. In desperation, the businessman turns to a blind psychic who can see through the killer’s eyes. The psychic envisions the night of the kidnapping and provides vital clues to help solve the mystery… but the answers he seeks may come at a deadly price.”
 
More thriller than horror… A bit predictable regarding who the kidnapper is. However the storytelling was very creepy and quite suspenseful!
 
SPELL CLAIRE
Director: Greg Emetaz
 
United States, 8min
“Claire purchases an antique educational toy that reignites fond memories from childhood and lays bare the sorry state her life is now in.”
 
When a person goes a little wild with her classic toys, the toys strike back. This could almost be regarded as an adult version of Toy Story. Eerily fun
 
VEXED
Director: Marc Cartwright

United States, 13min
“A romantic date night goes horribly wrong when a couple questions the validity of horror film plots.”
 
Fun self-deprecating film about horror film clichés and what really scares you. Great when a movie can make you jump and laugh at the same time.
