Episode 206 - The Vanishing (1988)

Published: June 8, 2023, 8 a.m.

In our latest episode, we get into the thick of the unconventional thriller, "The Vanishing". This isn't your usual kidnapping drama - this one's got layers, and it's as deliciously complicated as your grandma's lasagna recipe! We get tangled up in an intricate web spun around "what happened" rather than "whodunnit". "The Vanishing" taps into our fascination with the aftermath of a horrific event and explores the relentless grip of obsession. We chew on the tricky question of moving on and the paradoxical timelines of grief. It’s a deep dive into the human heart that has us asking: "Can we truly let go?" If you're a fan of true crime, love to wrestle with thought-provoking narratives or just fancy stories that shake things up a bit, you're in the right place. Tim heartily recommends it with a "rent," while Ryan can't help but hold it to the higher standard of a "buy." Are you ready to vanish into "The Vanishing"?
