13 Films To Get To Know J Virus

A baker's dozen of films from artist and musician (and former Third Uncle guitarist) Jason Viers.

Jason Viers, before and after.

It is no exaggeration when I say that I was thrilled when I got a message from my old Third Uncle bandmate J Virus, who said he wanted to take a crack at the 13 Films project. From the time that J and I met as we were just limping into our twenties, we discussed our shared love of cinema. J was one of the few people I had ever met that knew what Koyanisqaatsi was, and the only person my own age that I knew who had seen it, besides me, of course. To have his list included in the 13 Films canon seems only fitting.

Jason Viers is a friend of WAIM and a lifelong film fan. Somewhere in adolescence he became a Horror movie aficionado, but actually prefers absurdist humor more than anything. After reading the baker's dozen lists previously published here he was inspired to see what films have stuck the most and might reflect his personality 50 years on.

Here is his list in alphabetical order. Enjoy.
