Episode 40
Sans Lindsey, David, and Alec plow ahead with an episode-long conversation about the Netflix survival series, Outlast. The discussion focuses on the series’ villains and the limits of extrapolating reality show behaviors to the real world. Throw in a little bit of psychology, a lot of reality television production techniques, and some media theory, and somehow this conversation became a complete episode. SPOILER ALERT: We pretty much ruin Outlast if you haven’t seen it.
