In this episode, we get metaphysical while diving into Liam Gavin's 2016 feature: A Dark Song. Michael drills in on the film's nuanced portrayal of grief and the power of film to impart feelings. Jason celebrates the subtlety of the story avoiding a more conventional resolution. Dustin chases down a side path charting the occult references in the film. But before that, the gang takes to task the idea of "Elevated Horror" as a label for these types of films. And so much more!
