In this episode, Barry and Taylor tackle two intense thrillers — Sanctuary and 10×10. They break down Sanctuary, a tense two-hander that turns a manipulative power struggle into an unsettling mind game. The duo dive into the psychological warfare between a woman and her wealthy client, who’s trying to end their twisted arrangement. But things aren’t as simple as they seem, and the layers of manipulation keep building.
Then, they shift gears to 10×10, where a kidnapping spirals into a battle of wits and survival. As the captor, played by Luke Evans, locks a woman in a small room with plans to extract a hidden truth, Barry and Taylor debate just how far both films push their characters into psychological and physical extremes.
As always, start the episode to get spoiler free inputs on if you should watch or skip the film. It’s a double-feature episode with plenty of suspense and mind games to go around.
