The Empty Man (Featuring Darryl Armstrong)

On the 177th episode of Piecing It Together, Darryl Armstrong from Rise Up Daily and the CyberShorts Film Festival joins me to talk about a movie that's already proving to be a modern cult classic, The Empty Man. "Dumped" in theaters during the pandemic by a studio that had no idea what to do with it, The Empty Man is a big horror movie with a lot of interesting, if somewhat messy ideas. Puzzle pieces include Seven, Alien, Kill List and The Happening.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for The Empty Man and the movies we discuss!

About the Podcast

Piecing It Together Podcast
All Points West
A podcast about movies and the movies that inspired them. A good movie is the result of a large number of people both in front of and behind the camera combining to create a piece of art… But what about the movies that came before that inspired those filmmakers to make the movie? On Piecing It Together we figure out what the clear (and not so clear) influences were that make up the movies we love.
