Fear and Loathing with Dan Ilic

Pitch Bleak’s second season ends with the detectives finally cornering a long-hunted suspect - the one man media machine, Dan Ilic. While Hayden and Chris investigate who prevented Ilic’s preposterously successful podcast ‘A Rational Fear’ from making the jump to TV, they’ll also discover the terrifying truth about the Beaconsfield backlash, the Open Slather production budget and the Chris Kennett Half-Hour.
