Masters of Horror: Sounds Like - a Cult Film Showdown podcast special

The Masters of the Cult Film Showdown stand off with the Masters of Horror! 
Jim, Jack, and Nic dig into the 2005-2006 series Masters of Horror, 
an anthology series featuring legendary directors including 
Dario Argento, Tobe Hooper, John Carpenter, John Landis, and Tom Holland. 

We are into the second season of the series!

Episode 17 "Sounds Like" 
Directed by Brad Anderson, 
written by Brad Anderson 
from a short story by Mike O'Discoll

Larry Pearce is a dour office worker in a phone 
answering company who is having problems getting 
over the recent death of his young son from a rare 
brain disorder. Larry's grief has somehow 
triggered his acute sense of hearing 20-fold 
which he can hear a whispered conversation from 
hundreds of feet away. 

But his ability soon affects his sanity as he 
learns he cannot control it and all efforts to 
block out sound are futile, which puts a strain 
on his long-suffering wife Brenda, who unlike him, 
cannot stand quiet. As as result, Larry's slow 
slide into insanity because of his gift/curse of 
sensitive hearing and inability to deal with the 
grief of the loss of his son, leads to more 
tragedy for all involved.
