Comic Timing: Silly Silly Fun Boy (Pete Holmes)

This week, we double dip from two filmmakers already profiled on this season of Time Sensitive. How about a uniquely haunting ghost story told from the ghost’s first-person POV? It’s Presence, the experimental horror thriller with a big twist ending, directed by Steven Soderbergh. To accurately set expectations, the film’s screenwriter, David Koepp, says this: “This is not a scary movie; it’s an eerie movie, filled with dread, and it’s quite unsettling, a really intense experience. The last 15 minutes are hard for me. In some of the screenings, I leave early because I just don’t want to go through that every time.”Check us out on...Twitter @TSMoviePodFacebook: Time SensitiveInstagram: @timesensitivepodcastGrab some Merch at TeePublicBig Heads Media
