Almost banned from viewing in the United States, “The Interview”
is the controversial movie directed by Seth Rogen and Evan
Goldberg. The movie features James Franco and Seth Rogen as a host
and producer, respectively, behind a popular tabloid-TV show called
Skylark Tonight. After learning that North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is a
huge fan of the show, they successfully secure a coveted interview
with him. As the two characters prepare for their journey to
Pyongyang, the CIA steps in and recruits them for an incredible
mission: assassinate the dictator.
“’The Interview’ has quickly become one of the most
controversial movies in cinematic history, thanks to the incredible
circumstances surrounding its release,” said Julie Gerola, VP of
Rewards & Loyalty at Viggle Inc. “We created this special offer
for the month of January to kick off the year 2015 in a memorable
way—for brand new Viggle members and our existing customers alike.
This is just one of the many ways that we reward our members for
being entertained.”

million in rewards for watching their favorite TV programs and
listening to music. Members can use Viggle’s store, accessible
