Flick City 47: Jacqi Vene Reflects On ‘The Surprise Visit’ And ‘Fear Street Part Two: 1978’

For this Flick City episode I interview Jacqi Vene, star of Fear Street Part Two: 1978, talks about her new movie The Surprise Visit. This is my first time chatting with Vene, so some background info is discussed as well. Find Your Film co-host Bruce Purkey recently filled in for me during the Belle virtual press day, and he asked director Mamoru Hosoda a question; I added that audio at the end of this episode.

The Surprise Visit hits theaters and On Demand January 14. Belle hits select theaters on January 14 as well.
