Torture Cinema Poll #12: The First Torture of 2013 (You Decide!)

/

Season Four has officially begun.  Throughout January, you should expect interviews with Gareth L. Powell, Christopher Barzak, and Myke Cole (possibly one other author, too).  And starting next week, we’ll have our first discussion episode featuring Stina Leicht as our magical guest!  But before we can get to the end of the month for our first Torture Cinema episode of the year, we’ve got to know which film we’re going to have to watch at the end of the month… That’s where you come in.  Vote in the new poll and help us select the first torture for the year! The Movies (view at your own risk): Jumper (2008) Solar Crisis (1990) Transmorphers:  Fall of Man (2009) Universal Soldier:  Regeneration (2009) The Avengers (1998)

So enter! We hope you enjoy the episode!  (Don’t read past this point if you want to be surprised by our lists in the show.)
