This week, it’s a Carnage pick, from the 2014 movie currently streaming on Netflix, As Above, So Below. As always, spoilers ahead in the episode. Once we go through IMDb and the Tomatometer, we go through the cast and a summary. This movie was the first the Paris government allowed to film down in the catacombs beneath the city! Our heroine is after the Philosopher’s Stone, and we explain just what that is, as well as how the film is like the Divine Comedy, some knowledge dropping about Hermeticism and Gnosticism, and more. We discuss favorite deaths, theories about the ending, final thoughts, then round out with ratings and fanfiction.
