Joel Edgerton is back on Popcorn Podcast talking The Plague, the psychological thriller he produced and stars in. Set at an all-boys water polo camp, The Plague follows 12-year-old Ben as he's pulled into a cruel social ritual targeting an outcast, and the lines between game and reality start to blur. Edgerton shares how they found a rising star on YouTube to play the most chilling bully you'll see this year, why he's in his coach era and chats stepping onto different planets with his film roles. Plus, we play a fun game of 'Would You Rather?'
