Editor's Note: As mentioned on the episode, this particular method of end of year discussion is 100% inspired by and attributed to the video game website, Giant Bomb.

Nolan is joined by Ben McBride, Thomas Foster, and Paul Farrell to discuss Darren Aronofsky's BLACK SWAN (2010) and Joe Begos' BLISS (2019). The crew share their thoughts on recent horror releases, new discoveries, and rewatches before pushing themselves to physical and mental extremes in order to achieve artistic perfection and falling apart along the way.
