On this episode, Stacey and Matthew talk about Leigh Whannell's sci-fi horror film, The Invisible Man (2020). It stars Elisabeth Moss as Cecilia, a young woman who believes she is being stalked by her ex-partner but finds it nearly impossible to prove it -- largely because she believes he has the power to become invisible. Join us as we discuss the metaphors and symbolism of abuse, racial difference in shared spaces, and the cinematography of absence.
