This week on Dread Media, we thought it appropriate to end 2020 with a discussion on suffering. As such, our old friend Sezin Koehler and our new friend Paula Ashe join Desmond to go in-depth on Pascal Laugier's Martyrs. This is a spoiler-filled, hour-long discussion of the themes, brutality, and possible ending of the film. And there's even a little glimmer of hope. So make sure you've watched it before listening. Songs: "Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr" by Trivium, "Your Witness" by Seppuku Paradigm, and "This Year" by Mountain Goats. Send feedback to: dreadmediapodcast@gmail.com.
