Junkfood Cinema: Wan In A Million

This week, Cargill and I conclude our month-long Modern Junkfood Masters series by honoring director James Wan. We chart his meteoric rise, delve into his odd obsession with creepy puppets, and highlight his less-heralded revenge opus Death Sentence.

Plus, we point out how Wan taking over the Fast & Furious franchise brings his career full circle from Saw.
