Welcome back to Fresh Cuts, On this episode Mr. Venom, Mike, aaaaand Don are talking a movie that might seem very familiar….is it because it is a prequel to a very well known existing franchise?

Welcome back to Fresh Cuts, On this episode Mr. Venom, Mike, aaaaand Don are talking up a horror doc which is a rarity, but with the slim pickings being offered on VOD currently, it felt like a good time to finally dig into the ARGENTO: PANICO doc.....safe to say a podcast featuring three Argento fans is going to heap a ton of praise onto this documentary, so forget about any mystery about where w...
