Video of the Week
While recording this week’s episode of the TRN Time Machine Podcast, Jason off-handedly mentioned the video he done at one point called Memory Jogger: The Movie. It’s a film he shot when he returned home a while back, and he and childhood Wyatt went back to all of their old haunts to check things out. I’m highly intrigued by it since I’ve heard a lot of Jason’s story and plan to watch it. I figured I’d make it the video of the week for this Weekend Edition so we could all watch it together. Enjoy.
