Episode: Ep. 217: The Empty Man
Description: This week, Gavia and Morgan discuss "The Empty Man," an under-seen horror gem from 2020 rapidly approaching cult status. Directed by David Prior and starring James Badge Dale and Marin Ireland, this film follows an ex-cop whose investigation into a missing teenager leads him deeper and deeper into a mysterious cult. Topics include the film's tortured production history and delayed release, its provocative mixture of conventional horror aesthetics and more deeply disturbing ideas, a spoilery discussion of the twist ending, and more.
