THE LAST PODCAST

description

A dark comedy about a skeptic podcaster desperate for subscribers who lands the ultimate guest — an actual ghost — but keeping the afterlife on-air comes with killer consequences.

Young and ambitious, Charlie and his podcast "ParaNormalcy" take the piss out of those who believe in ghosts. His girlfriend Brie wishes he wasn't so mean-spirited about debunking spirits, but Charlie's humorous sardonic style is what his burgeoning audience loves about him. All this changes with a text from Duncan – a University junior professor who claims he can scientifically prove there's no afterlife. However, something's not right about Duncan. First off, his fiancé was murdered 3 days ago and secondly, he has a gun. What happens next sends Charlie down a dark rabbit hole as he discovers there may actually be an afterlife, but it isn't exactly what it appears to be. From the director of THE McPHERSON TAPE comes a twisted dark horror comedy.
