Today we will be breaking down the 2018 book "I'll Be Gone in the Dark," written by Michelle McNamara, along with the 2020 HBO documentary of the same name.

Today on the podcast we take a look at two films that explore similar concepts but in very different ways. Vivarium (2019) directed by Lorcan Finnegan and Palm Springs (2020) directed by Max Barbakow.
