On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are convinced there\\u2019s someone watching us from the corner of the room. No seriously, he\\u2019s right there. We\\u2019re not crazy! He\\u2019s invisible and he\\u2019s watching us right now! It\\u2019s the 2020 film from Leigh Whannell, The Invisible Man.

I\\u2019ve just got to say right now at the start of this thing: Elisabeth Moss is wonderful. She\\u2019s just an amazing acting force. Sure, okay, she\\u2019s a Scientologist and that\\u2019s really not great, but hey, we\\u2019ve all got our flaws. Nobody\\u2019s perfect, right?

(Scientologists, if you\\u2019re reading, we\\u2019re totally cool. Don\\u2019t stalk or kill us. We\\u2019re not worth it. You\\u2019ve got more important people to intimidate and some ridiculous delusions to cultivate.)

But this film\\u2026 Wow. Just wow. So Cecilia Kass is a lovely person who\\u2019s being terrorized by her sociopathic, vindictive ass of a boyfriend. He\\u2019s a real piece of work and is terrible to the core. Seriously, such an ass. Unfortunately, he\\u2019s also something of an optics genius and has invented a suit that projects from it a perfect copy of its surroundings. Essentially, it\\u2019s an invisibility suit. He can sneak around, perform crimes, and just be the creepiest bastard that\\u2019s ever lived without consequences. He uses this technology to perform some of the most extreme gaslighting we\\u2019ve ever seen. He helps convince everyone that Cecilia is big-time crazy. Quite the catch, right?

She\\u2019s not going down without a serious fight, though\\u2026

We haven\\u2019t experienced such a suspenseful and thrilling movie in a long time. This film\\u2019s got the creepy goods and makes use of it very well. We couldn\\u2019t help wondering what was around every dark corner. We found ourselves thinking, Is anything actually there? Are our eyes seeing something or is this all just a trick? Are we going crazy, too?

We loved this movie. It\\u2019s got a great story, amazing visuals, and sound design that just won\\u2019t let up on the creepy good stuff ever. This is an expertly made thriller that you should definitely see if you\\u2019re a fan of these sorts of movies.

You can thank us later.
