    Gone Girl

    In this episode we look at Gone Girl and go off with a few too many laughs. Fincher's 2011 look at love and relationships based on the bestseller by Gillian Flynn. Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike take up main roles and deliver performances worthy of what was marketed as the perfect date night movie. #gonegirl #davidfincher #benaffleck #rosamundpike #gillianflynn

    Fight Club

    In todays episode we talk about Fincher's fourth and most controversial film Fight Club. A tale of nihilism, consumerism, psychosis and punches starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. 25 years later it's still as relevant today #bradpitt #edwardnorton #jaredleto #davidfincher #fightclub #podcast

    The Game

    In this episode we discuss The Game. Fincher's third film starring Michael Douglas and Sean Penn. The story of a powerful financier given the ultimate birthday present by his brother.

    Se7en

    In this episode we look at David Fincher's second film from 1995 Se7en. Starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, Se7en is a gritty detective story based in an unnamed city where a serial killer is taking his victims in the style of the seven deadly sins. A classic of its type that is still copied today. Infused with music from Nine Inch Nails and David Bowie it still holds up as one of Fincher's best and most important films. #bradpitt #morganfreeman #kevinspacey #davidfincher #se7en #podcast #nineinchnails #davidbowie

    Alien3

    In our first episode we discuss David Fincher's first film Alien3. From the ever changing script to studio tampering we look at the value of the finished film. We discuss alternate cameos and who would have been best to sing the 90's ballad over the closing credits. #davidfincher #alien3 #whatsinthebox #sigourneyweaver #alien #filmreview
