Episode 202: Gone, Like a Little Worm

From the creators of Tanis, The Last Movie follows host Nic Silver and researcher MK as they descend into a labyrinth of rumor and obsession. Their subject is a notorious underground film, a piece of celluloid so dangerous its very existence is debated. Stories circulate of screenings that ended in violence and psychological rupture, where audiences reportedly turned on one another. One account even details a critic fleeing through a theater, his escape hampered by blood on the floor. Produced by the Public Radio Alliance, this fictional drama unfolds like an audio investigation, piecing together fragmented testimonies and eerie clues. Each episode feels less like a traditional story and more like you’re overhearing a private, and possibly perilous, inquiry. The central question isn’t about the film’s artistic merit, but its terrifying legacy: can a movie truly hold a power that corrupts the mind? This podcast builds a deeply immersive atmosphere, blending documentary-style narration with unsettling sound design to explore the line between myth and horrifying reality. You’ll find yourself weighing every piece of evidence, wondering what is fact and what is folklore, long after the episode ends.
