Hello internet, welcome to film theory. Today we're talking about the strange, thick, meaty world of Vita Karnas.

A ton of people were recommending that we check this series out over on our subreddit

The monsters are made of flesh and eat bones, but they also grow like plants.

In short, I devoured my time with Vita Carnus.

And let me tell you, the deeper and deeper we get into this documentary, the more pieces of

the puzzle that start falling into place.

Where is this mystery meat coming from?

Why is the government trying to cover it all up? And is there anything that we can do to
