This episode, Mart and Trev go looking for a man they literally can’t see — which, as it turns out, makes reviewing him way harder.
It’s a double bill of The Invisible Man, starting with the 1933 original, where Claude Rains plays a scientist who turns himself invisible and immediately goes full murderhobo. Subtle, he ain’t.
Mart praises the variety of branded beverages in the pub, while Trev can’t stop laughing at how quickly Griffin becomes a public menace.
First he’s invisible, then he’s trouser less, then he’s chucking bicycles at villagers and declaring himself ruler of Earth.
Really, a casual Thursday night out in the 90's for Trev.
Then it’s the 2020 remake — same concept, different trauma. Elisabeth Moss stars as a woman being stalked by her invisible tech-bro ex, who faked his own death because therapy was too hard. Mart calls it a sleek, smart thriller. Trev’s just impressed the guy managed to haunt her without accidentally bumping into furniture for 90 minutes.
You’ll never trust an empty chair again.
