This episode is an examination of a film that has been on Nichole's "to cover" list for some time: 2014’s Late Phases. The movie follows an older, blind veteran as he moves into a retirement community and goes on the defensive against an unknown creature (or creatures) taking out members of the community. Werewolf movies are a blind spot for Nichole, but she really appreciated what this film brings to the table. Want to share your thoughts on Late Phases or suggest a film to cover?
