The movie
Show notes
On today’s episode, Christopher Bevard ( author , podcaster ) and I discuss an indie Kickstarter-funded feature called Absentia (2011). The director– you may have heard of him– is a dude named Mike Flanagan. Because Chris is a writer, we mostly discuss storytelling and creating a mythology in horror fiction, but we also chat about Muppets as monsters, Doug Jones, if we would run down that tunnel, region-free Blu-ray players and more. Our first Mike Flanagan movie on the podcast is Mike Flanagan’s first movie! Be sure to check out Chris’ podcast Cicatrix and his books .
