Hosts Brandon and Leia break down the French one‑take thriller Mads, following Roman, Anna and Julia through a single night as a fast‑moving infection spreads and society collapses. The episode covers the film's tense, continuous-shot structure, standout performances from largely new actors, and the film's refusal to explain the outbreak.
They discuss key scenes, improvisation by the cast, the director's fifth-take approach and behind‑the‑scenes GoPro footage, concluding it’s an intense, effective rollercoaster that leaves viewers with questions rather than answers.
