About this episode

The episode analyzes the film 'Rabbit Trap', discussing its sound design, performances, and thematic elements.

EPISODE 3: "Rabbit Trap" Dev Patel stars in Rabbit Trap (2025), a slow-burn psychological horror set in the Welsh countryside that's sitting at 42% on Rotten Tomatoes - apparently the magic number for films we love. We analyze the impeccable sound design (critical when your leads are a sound engineer and synth musician), debate whether the Welsh countryside qualifies as a fourth character, and unpack the fairy tale folklore woven throughout. With only three actors carrying the entire runtime, the performances either make or break this one. Plus: The murmuration of birds that opens the film and why it matters more than you think.
