Dead Ringers 14 - BUG + A DARK SONG

Nolan is joined by Thomas Foster, Emily von Seele, and Philip Yount, as well as special guest Bryan Christopher, to discuss William Friedkin's BUG (2007) and Liam Gavin's A DARK SONG (2017). The group recounts recent horror (and horror adjacent) discoveries before grief confines them to a single location and sends them spiraling together into the arms of madness or the occult.
