Hey, Tax Force, this is Jillian. Please enjoy this preview of our movie club episode on The Invisible Man from 1933.

A task force member suggested this, so it was really cool watching something and discussing something that none of us had seen before.

If you want to hear the full episode, please go to redwoodpod.com. Otherwise, enjoy this preview.

Back with Dr. Canley, he and another scientist, Dr. Kemp, are looking in Griffin's office for clues about his whereabouts, his activities.

And they found a note mentioning a strange ingredient called monocaine.

So apparently, experiments with this were for, like detergent and like erasing stains maybe.

They were so, yeah, like bleach.

Bleach, yeah.

Because it sucks all the color out of things.

What insane like back then.

It's like, whoa.

Now they're like, come on.

The science of sound, see?

But in some like German experiments super obscure, things went horribly wrong and the patients went

mad, crazy. So they're like, uh-oh, we need to find him and let him know. No, he's already

mad. I do love a descent into madness. He's already there at the start of the film.

But he does get worse.

It's so cool, like how subtle it is at first. Like, yes, he's very abrasive. And so you're just like, okay, maybe it's just a rude man.

And there's a lot of suspense and tension building and whatnot. But I think it's really like, eventually they do start to portray the madness more and more.

But I feel like it is still subdued compared to today's movies that are so big.

And so it can be, we're maybe desensitized to it.

But I think for this time period, it is so exaggerated that he comes off as a monster.
