## Resource

Brandyn from The Most Important Election of Our Lives is back for this Halloween special episode. We will be talking about one movie of Brandyn’s choice, and it is Tarsem Singh’s trippy psychological thriller The Cell, starring Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn, and Vincent D’Onofrio. We have gone on several tangents, explored the theme of empathy, depiction of mental illness in the media, shoddy CGIs, talked about the Parajayan influences in Tarsem Singh’s works, Meredith’s love for the Brothers Quay, and more!
