1br (2019): When finding the perfect apartment turns into a nightmare

Season 1, Ep. 32
•

We book a viewing for indie thriller/horror 1br. Sarah thinks she's found the perfect apartment building but it soon turns into a nightmare.


There are spoilers in the podcast, as we discuss conspiracy theories, animal cruelty in films, lizard overlords, swimming lessons and more.


It seems we swear quite a lot in this one, too.


There's also music from the post-punk-ish The Battles of Winter, with their track Block S Falls. You can listen to more on Spotify here: https://spoti.fi/32ZyZmL. Thanks to Crysta at Jasper PR for the track.
