For today’s episode we are exploring a brand new film maker, but not new to the industry of entertaining people! Markiplier is undoubtedly one of the top performers on the Youtube platform right now, and he decided to fund his own film, Iron Lung! This is of course based off of his popular video game, of the same name.

” Iron Lung (2026) is a sci-fi horror film written, directed by, and starring Mark “Markiplier” Fischbach, based on the 2022 game. It follows a convict named Simon tasked with piloting a claustrophobic submarine through an ocean of blood on a desolate moon, searching for clues following a catastrophe known as the “Quiet Rapture“

Now, to be frank, I will say that I believe that most of the high viewer rating comes from those fans of his who are already familiar with who he is, and what his style of performance is like. We, the hosts of the show, probably tend to side more with the critics on this one. That doesn’t mean that this was somehow a failure, as I’m sure his followers spent a lot of money checking out the movie, and just by putting out a movie he accomplished something that many of us never will be, but you can definitely tell this was his first real try at the craft. As always, you should definitely go check it out and make up your own mind!
