Stuart and Jazeen talk about how stories should have a central question that gets us invested, why having a symbol in a movie isn’t enough to make Stuart care, how to make Pulse 10% better (there's no saving Dark Water) and how Jazeen went from a lover of J Horror to not.

Pulse centres around three disconnected storylines trying to figure out why in the heck people in Toyko keep disappearing. Apparently, the internet has become a breeding ground of malevolent spirits that just want a friend. They’re lonely. Super lonely. Even the living are super lonely. We all lonely.

In Dark Water, newly divorced and unstable Yoshimi must fight for the custody and care of her daughter while trying to piece her life back together. Her and her daughter move into an apartment building with some really bad water leakage problems and are quickly haunted by the ghost of a little girl.
