Iron Lung

In this episode, Sydney joins LeBeau to discuss Markiplier’s Iron Lung, the film adaptation of the 2022 indie horror game. Building on the game’s minimalist premise, the movie expands the lore of a universe where every known star and habitable planet has vanished, leaving humanity scattered across the void.The story follows Simon (Markiplier), a convicted prisoner sent to pilot a deteriorating submarine across an ocean of blood on a desolate moon, documenting what lies beneath in exchange for a possible pardon. Trapped inside a failing vessel, he must face both the mission and whatever may be waiting in the depths.LeBeau and Sydney also examine what the film’s financial success could mean for the future of independent, self-distributed cinema—and for the moviegoing experience as a whole.
