Episode 223.5 – Iron Lung

About this episode

Matt and Jim discuss Markiplier's film 'Iron Lung' and its pacing issues.

In this abbreviated bonus episode, Matt and Jim discuss Markiplier’s surprise hit. While Jim enjoyed it rather less than his co-host, they both think Mr. Fischbach might have a future as a director. That said, the film does have fairly serious pacing issues, and certain elements remain underdeveloped.
