Podcast appearances and mentions of David Fincher

Box office smash horror films. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss Backrooms (2026) and Obsession (2026), but in two separate conversations. Jeremy and William discuss Backrooms, directed by Kane Parsons, and then Jeremy and Sarah discuss Obsession, directed by Curry Barker. The Backrooms conversation starts with the box office impact of the film and how it potentially is shifting the industry model for investing in films. We unpack the psychology of the horror in the film, especially when considering the realities of Gen Z and what horror looks like in a post-Millennial world. We talk about the brilliant performances from Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve, as are the physical sets in the film. We discuss the structure of the film and where the films works and where it is weak. We connect the film to the work of David Lynch, Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick. Sarah swaps out with William, and chats with Jeremy about Obsession. Our conversation begins by praising the performance actor Inde Navarrette and later in the episode Michael Johnston. We talk about the strength of the narrative and how we can relate the situation amidst the horror. Our discussion focuses on the ending and the poetic justice, as well as the strength of the writing. We make connections to Weapons (2025), Romeo and Juliet (roughly 1597), Heated Rivalry (2025-), Fatal Attraction (1987), and the work of David Fincher and David Lynch (again). We finish the conversation by highlighting how much the film connected with our own lives.

Talvolta per comprendere quanto è oscuro e tetro questo vecchio pazzo mondo, bisogna abbracciarla quell'oscurità. Per poi respingerla o farsi avvolgere in base alle proprie scelte.E' ciò che ha quasi sempre raccontato David Fincher nella sua breve ma intensa filmografia incentrata su racconti incentrati sull'ossessione, la paura e l'ineluttabilità ma non solo.Se chiedete a un appassionato di cinema se ha mai visto "Quarto Potere", difficilmente di rispondere di no. E difficilmente non saprà dirvi chi è, anche solo vagamente, Orson Welles.Vale lo stesso per Herman J. Mankiewicz? Per gli amici, "Mank".

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive into David Fincher's 1997 mind bender, and it turns out one of them had somehow dodged this one entirely until now. They trace the eerie line from The Game to The Truman Show to The Matrix, unpacking why the late 90s were absolutely dripping with existential dread, and how a movie about total control over one man's reality hits very differently with "post info war eyes." Expect a wide ranging conversation about digital manipulation, manufactured trust, and the modern version of actors leading you exactly where they want you to go. There's also some real talk about elections, propaganda, and the difference between a principled argument and a convenient one. Stick around for the next pick, a 1992 crime classic that's somehow been sitting unwatched on one host's list for way too long.

The Odyssey Isn't About Monsters. It's About Trust.   Before Christopher Nolan brings The Odyssey to the big screen, Curtis Chang and Jessica Hooten Wilson revisit Homer's ancient epic to ask what the story is really about: monsters, homecoming, and the search for truth among intentional lies. They explore why reading The Odyssey still matters in the age of film and AI, how Odysseus forces us to ask who we can trust, and what Christians can learn from Greek myths and pagan gods about the one true God revealed in Scripture.   03:53 - Reading the Homer vs. Watching Matt Damon 05:38 - When to Read the Book First? 11:06 - How "The Odyssey" Changes with the Reader 13:32 - Did A Woman Really Write The Odyssey? 16:50 - What Is The Unreliable Narrator? 23:23 - The Psychological Impact of an Unreliable Narrator 31:27 - A Christian Approach to Greek Mythology 34:37 - Understanding The Greco-Roman Culture of Jesus 41:36 - The Irreplaceable Human Elements of Teaching Literature in the Age of AI   Sign up for The After Party Sign up for our newsletter and The Good List   Mentioned in This Episode: Homer's The Odyssey (Stanley Lombardo's translation) Homer's The Iliad Nadya Williams's Christians Reading the Classics Yann Martel's Son of Nobody Yann Martel's Life of Pi Edith Hamilton's Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes  Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology Natalie Haynes's Pandora's Jar: Women in the Greek Myths  Christopher Nolan's Memento (trailer) David Fincher's Fight Club (trailer) An Introduction to 1 and 2 Samuel (The story of King David)   More From Jessica Hooten Wilson: Jessica Hooten Wilson's website Explore Jessica's books HERE Read articles and Essay by Jessica HERE Follow Us: Good Faith on Instagram Good Faith on X (formerly Twitter) Good Faith on Facebook   The Good Faith Podcast is a production of a 501(c)(3) nonpartisan organization that does not engage in any political campaign activity to support or oppose any candidate for public office.

Tom was born and raised in New Jersey. He grew up in the town of Howell, where he attended the Fine and Performing Arts Center at Howell High School. Upon graduation, he attended Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University (obtaining a BFA in acting), where he also had the opportunity to study Shakespeare at the Globe Theatre in London, England. Tom's first professional job was on the long-running CBS daytime show Guiding Light. During the two and a half years he was on the show, he was nominated for four consecutive Daytime Emmy Awards, winning twice (in 2006 and 2008). Having worked in theater, television, and independent film, he eventually became a series regular on the hit Cinemax show Banshee, playing former neo-Nazi Kurt Bunker. Tom is a founding member and the current Artistic Director of the Apothecary Theatre Company—a NYC-based non-profit that develops and produces world premieres of new plays by up-and-coming playwrights. He made his Broadway debut in 2012 as Judy Garland's last husband, Mickey Deans, in the critically acclaimed End of the Rainbow, directed by Tony Award Winner Terry Johnson. Since his breakout in Ozark and David Fincher's Mank, he has gone on to star in Outer Range, Love and Death, She Said, and HBO's Task. Considering that this interview was done via Zoom (a TOA first), as a means of moving forward in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is befitting that this episode of That One Audition retells the stories of adaptation and triumph that landed Tom Pelphrey right here.

Talvolta per comprendere quanto è oscuro e tetro questo vecchio pazzo mondo, bisogna abbracciarla quell'oscurità. Per poi respingerla o farsi avvolgere in base alle proprie scelte.E' ciò che ha quasi sempre raccontato David Fincher nella sua breve ma intensa filmografia incentrata su racconti incentrati sull'ossessione, la paura e l'ineluttabilità ma non solo.Giunto a un punto davvero felice della sua carriera, Fincher si concesse persino un rischio ovvero dirigere un rifacimento più o meno dichiarato dell'adattamento cinematografico di "Uomini che odiano le donne" di Larsson.Il risultato di tale operazione è un thriller non sempre impeccabile ma dannatamente tetro e inquietante che conferma Fincher come il maestro dell'oscurità insita nell'essere umano.

Today we are gathered at the altar of Fincher to rank his 12 movies. Which of us has Alien 3 in their top 3? Probably neither but would be fun if we did! LIWstudios.com

Cara Cusumano, Director of Programming for the Tribeca Festival, joins Past Present Feature as the festival celebrates its 25th year. She pulls back the curtain on how one of the world's premier film festivals selects its films,  and how curation, audience, and timing shape every lineup. Along the way, Cara reflects on the films and filmmakers that shaped her own cinematic taste, from F for Fake, Jiro Dreams of Sushi, to the fiction work of David Fincher, Agnès Varda, and Steven Spielberg.The conversation also explores Tribeca's origins following 9/11, the future of film festivals in the streaming era, why filmmakers shouldn't let deadlines dictate their creative process, and why the stories that resonate most are often the ones that keep moving, staying one step ahead of their audience, and continuing to surprise us.  What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

Is Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk still relevant today? In this month's Bookmarked Book Club, Marisa Serafini and I dive into one of the most influential novels of the past 30 years and discuss why its themes of consumerism, toxic masculinity, loneliness, identity, violence, and anti-capitalism remain just as provocative today as they were in 1996.We compare the original novel with David Fincher's iconic film adaptation starring Edward Norton and Brad Pitt, explore the psychology behind Tyler Durden and the Narrator, unpack Project Mayhem, and discuss why Fight Club has become one of the most misunderstood stories in modern pop culture. We also examine what the book is actually saying—and what many audiences have mistakenly taken away from it.Book vs. Movie Comparison: https://lucyvhayauthor.com/book-versus-film-an-epic-study-of-fight-club/We also share what we've been reading outside of book club, including Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, TJ Klune, Pride Month book discoveries, and our upcoming reading list.Upcoming Book Club Picks: La Belle Sauvage (Book 1 of The Book of Dust) — Philip Pullman (July 2026) Fairest — Meredith Talusan (August 2026) Nervous Conditions — Tsitsi Dangarembga (September 2026) TBD (October 2026) Maus: A Survivor's Tale — Art Spiegelman (November 2026)Topics Covered Why Fight Club still resonates nearly 30 years later The real meaning behind Tyler Durden Why the Narrator doesn't have a name Consumerism as the novel's central villain The psychology of repression and split identity What Project Mayhem actually represents The male loneliness epidemic and modern relevance Why audiences often misunderstand Fight Club Biggest differences between the book and movie The symbolism behind the soap Our favorite moments from the novel What we're reading next

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! David Fincher's Zodiac is a masterpiece, but it's not that simple. This is more than just a perfect true crime movie. It's also a horror movie that relentlessly denies the viewer any sense of closure or narrative satisfaction. As we argue in today's episode, Zodiac is a spiraling mystery in conversation with everything from slashers and possession movies to journalism stories and the complicated idea of "the great American novel". We also explore the film's unorthodox creature design (handwriting analysis!), its place within the larger David Fincher canon, and the question of whether or not the ending really is "ambiguous" at all.

Esta semana el chisme está cada vez más raro.Obsession se volvió un fenómeno de taquilla, pero ¿qué pasa cuando la película gana millones y el crew siente que no recibió lo justo?A eso se suma Scorsese, la inteligencia artificial y el Sindicato de Directores de Arte respondiendo con fuerza a la pregunta que cada vez pesa más en Hollywood: ¿la IA viene a ayudar al cine… o a reemplazar parte de lo que lo hacen los humanos?También hablamos de Gato, la película con la que Pixar parece estar cambiando su estilo visual, del regreso de 21 Jump Street, de la secuela de The Social Network sin David Fincher ni Jesse Eisenberg, y de los estrenos que llegan esta semana.Prepárense, porque el sábado arrancó fuerte y, Hollywood está entrando en una etapa rarísima.

E se o final mais perturbador dos anos 90 existir porque um produtor enviou o documento errado por engano? Pois é exatamente isso o que aconteceu com Seven, e David Fincher não deixou ninguém mudar nem uma vírgula. Brad Pitt e Morgan Freeman também bateram o pé. O estúdio tentou mandar a versão "comercial". Os três ignoraram. Trinta anos depois, é difícil imaginar que poderia ter sido de outro jeito.Mas o que torna Seven tão visceralmente insuportável de esquecer? A fotografia de Darius Khondji com retenção de prata que cria pretos tão densos que você quase sente o cheiro da cena? O design de som que não te deixa em paz nem um segundo? Ou John Doe, um assassino que não é niilista porque, para ele, tudo importa demais?Rafael Arinelli, Pedro Amaro e Bel Petit revisitam o thriller de Fincher com olhos de 2026, discutem a lesão real de Brad Pitt que entrou no roteiro, o Kevin Spacey escondido no meio do filme sem crédito, e a questão que divide o grupo até hoje: afinal, John Doe venceu ou perdeu?A caixa está esperando.

"Music videos were an avenue for women to break into directing, which was really important at the time. A lot of women basically got their start directing music videos because nobody wanted to do them... until they became super popular." — Susan Lambert HatemThe great mid-season packing and moving marathon continues! In the second half of this double-header special, hosts Susan Lambert Hatem and Sharon Johnson return to count down the remaining legendary music videos that defined the MTV golden era. As they sort through decades of personal boxes, memorabilia, and old memories, they track the evolution of 1980s visual storytelling—from simple performance videos to cinematic masterpieces.Along the way, they highlight the unsung female directing pioneers who shaped the medium and share unforgettable insider Hollywood stories involving space shuttles, Aerosmith rehearsals, and the infinite grace of Whitney Houston. Grab your headphones and join the ladies for the final leg of this high-energy, nostalgic tour down memory lane!THE CONVERSATIONThe Mid-Season Packing Hiatus: Susan and Sharon share an update on their respective moves, navigating the emotional and physical heavy lifting of downsizing and uncovering hidden historical gems in old storage boxes.Female Directing Pioneers: The ladies discuss how music videos served as a vital gateway for groundbreaking female filmmakers like Mary Lambert and Penelope Spheeris at a time when traditional Hollywood doors were shut.Choreographers Step Out Front: Sharon breaks down Paula Abdul's iconic black-and-white debut for "Straight Up" (directed by David Fincher), mapping her legendary transition from behind-the-scenes Laker Girl choreographer to a front-and-center music superstar.Classic 80s Cameos & Cameo's Word Up: A celebration of Cameo's "Word Up" featuring a remarkably baby-faced LeVar Burton as an overwhelmed police officer, alongside a dive into the origins of the phrase "wave your hands in the air like you don't care."The Reality of the Road: A look at Bon Jovi's cowboy-tinged "Wanted Dead or Alive" leads to a touching tribute to the grueling, marathon work ethic required of touring bands traveling from city to city.Sepia Tones & Lake Pedal Boats: Susan explores the Americana aesthetic of Rod Stewart & Jeff Beck's "People Get Ready" cover, pulling back the curtain on a rare 1965 pre-MTV performance by The Impressions filmed on pedal boats with the young stars of Dick Clark's Where The Action Is.Susan's Disney & Cape Canaveral Tales: Susan shares an extraordinary behind-the-scenes story from her time in Disney broadcast publicity, recounting the legendary, high-budget Armageddon premiere launch party where Aerosmith played a private rehearsal concert directly in front of a lit-up space shuttle.Sharon's Oscar Rehearsal Memories: Sharon looks back on attending Academy Award rehearsals, offering a beautiful memory of Whitney Houston's profound kindness and grace toward a young fan while at the rehearsal for her iconic duet with Mariah Carey.The Welder with a Dream: The ladies champion Irene Cara's "Flashdance... What a Feeling" as an essential piece of 1980s feminist representation, reflecting on the film's rousing choreography and the publicity crew's spontaneous cubicle performances of "Armageddon: The Musical."

Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de “Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas”. Soy su anfitrión, José Enrique Guzmán, y hoy el estudio se llena de una cadencia muy especial. Hoyno necesitamos explosiones, ni persecuciones de autos, ni coreografías de artes marciales para dejarlos al borde del asiento.Hoy el espectáculo está en la palabra.Continuamos con nuestro Ciclo de Aaron Sorkin, el guionista que convirtió el diálogo en cine de acción puro. Sorkin es un cirujano del verbo; sus personajes no hablan para comunicarse, hablan para competir, para desafiar, para devorarse entre sí. La calidad de su diálogo tiene una musicalidad y una precisión milimétrica donde una coma mal puesta puede arruinar una escena completa. Sus palabrascortan, emocionan y tienen el mismo ritmo frenético que una persecución a trescientos kilómetros por hora en una autopista.Y la prueba reina de esto es la película que nos convoca hoy: “Steve Jobs” (2015). Una genialidad interpretada de manera magistral por Michael Fassbender, dirigida por la energía cinética de Danny Boyle y acompañada por una descomunal Kate Winslet.La historia de cómo se gestó esta producción es casi tan dramática como la película misma.Tras el éxito de La Red Social, Sony quería repetir la fórmula. Scott Rudin, el productor, le llevó el proyecto a Sorkin basándose en la monumental biografía de Walter Isaacson. Originalmente, David Fincher iba a dirigirla y Christian Bale iba a ser Jobs, pero tras exigencias de presupuesto y un cambiode estudio que llevó el proyecto a Universal, Fincher quedó fuera y entró Danny Boyle. Bale renunció porque, según se cuenta, sintió que el volumen y la velocidad del diálogo de Sorkin eran una montaña humana imposible de escalar.Fue ahí donde apareció Fassbender para darnos la interpretación de su vida.Pero el verdadero milagro de esta obra radica en la estructura de su guion. Esta película merecía y merece muchísimo más reconocimiento del que tuvo en su momento, a pesar de las nominaciones al Oscar para Fassbender y Winslet. Sorkindesafió todas las leyes de la biopic tradicional. Esta no es unapelícula al uso de "nació, creció, inventó una computadora y murió" No. Sorkin estructuró el guion como una obra de teatro en tres actos perfectos, donde toda la acción ocurre tras bambalinas, exactamente 40 minutos antes de tres de los lanzamientos más importantes de la carrera de Jobs.Seamos claros desde ahora mismo: esto no es un documental. Si vienes buscando rigor histórico absoluto o una cronología exacta de los hechos, estás en el lugar equivocado. Al igual que pasó con La Red Social, Sorkin se toma licencias dramáticas gigantescas. En la vida real, Steve Jobs nunca tuvo esas confrontaciones operísticas con su mano derecha Joanna Hoffman, con Steve Wozniak, con John Sculley y con su hija Lisa, todas juntas en un pasillo, minutos antes de salir a cambiar el mundo. Eso no pasó así.Pero esa es la magia de la dramatización. Es un recurso creativo brillante para hacer un estudio de personaje profundo, descarnado y fascinante. Sorkin utiliza esos 40minutos de tensión previa a los eventos para desnudar el mito, para confrontar al genio con la gente que lo rodeaba y para explorar el costo humano de la genialidad. Es un lienzo dramático magnífico, una tragedia shakesperianamoderna en la era de Silicon Valley.Hoy, en Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas, vamos a analizar a profundidad los tres actos de este guion, la puesta en escena de Boyle y cómo el diálogo puede ser el efectoespecial más poderoso del cine.Empezamos.Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbas⁠Correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.comNo olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia.¡Que lo disfruten!#AaronSorkin⁠ ⁠#MichaelFassbender⁠ ⁠#Cine⁠ ⁠#KateWinslet #DannyBoyle

Gillian Flynn's novel Gone Girl defined a literary niche when it first came out in 2012, and it still defines it to this day. David Fincher's great 2014 adaptation—written in collaboration with Flynn—is one of the greatest and most fun movie thrillers of the 21st century. Now I want to present you with a terrifying scenario: What if this book had come out three years later, and instead of this glorious 2.5-hour film, we got a boring 12-hour streaming series? Come on, you can see it right now in your mind: Episode 3 is a flashback to Amy's life as a child, with none of the regular actors in it. Episode 9 is the Desi episode, and Amy finally arrives at his door right before the closing credits. No thank you. And so 1-Week Rental is here to take you through the history of that movie. How Gillian Flynn wrote her novel and then worked closely with Fincher on the production, how perfect the casting of both Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike was, how Reese Witherspoon produced the movie with the intention of playing Amazing Amy herself only to be told by Fincher she was all wrong for the part, and how this movie is loosely based on the lives of Laci Roth and Matt Stokes. Did you know that? Watch the history segment in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/i0WuyvYAyrg  We're off next week (June 5, 2026). The next episode will be out on Friday, June 12, 2026 when our summer miniseries begins.

In the 1980's and 1990's, David Fincher, Spike Jonze, Sofia Coppola, among many others honed their craft and proved their vision directing 3 minute music videos for MTV.  While the "music video" aesthetic was sometimes attacked as hurting cinema, in retrospect, the best directors of that generation brought a much needed innovation to movie language from which we can still take inspiration. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill looks at this video work and notes how often the master moviemakers of a generation come out of a looked down upon medium. 

On this week’s Wrap Party, spurred on by Netflix’s recent announcement, Zeth is talking about the upcoming epic confluence of crime film directors Quentin Tarantino and David Fincher. Plus, Adrienne Shelly, Phil Collins, Sonny Rollins, Guy Ritchie, and your voicemails, DMs, emails, and more.

Matt is joined by Bloomberg's Lucas Shaw to discuss who might buy IMAX after news broke last week that it is exploring a sale, and they get into the details behind how IMAX works as a business. They also discuss Netflix putting David Fincher's new movie, ‘The Adventures of Cliff Booth,' in theaters with an exclusive two-week run in IMAX and whether this is just another Netflix movie theater stunt or perhaps something more meaningful (00:00). Matt finishes the show with a prediction about the box office performance for the breakout horror phenomenon ‘Obsession' (26:07).

Drop Dead Fred has an 11% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics absolutely hated it. But it's really good! Seriously. Let Matt and Laci tell you all about it... ...for the second time. That's right, it's time to return to a movie we've covered already. The first time was nearly a decade ago, on the tenth episode of this podcast. Back then, the show was called Load Bearing Beams and it came out every 73 days. We've gotten more consistent since then. Back then we were stunned at how sweet, funny, and insightful Drop Dead Fred is... and it still is! It's nice when that happens. Before diving into an in-depth discussion of the movie, we go through its production history, and then look at the careers of stars Rik Mayall and Phoebe Cates. The Rik Mayall portion shows us how badly we need a Britain Correspondent (email us!) to understand television over there. Then, while going through Phoebe Cates's career, we saw some, uh, interesting stuff that may have informed her performance as a woman who's spent her life being handed from controlling adult to controlling adult. Remember, this show contains irresponsible psychoanalysis for which we are wildly unqualified. Watch the history segment in full: https://youtu.be/V855FOu-u1A  Next week (May 29, 2026): In our last episode before we begin our summer miniseries, we're treating ourselves to David Fincher's Gone Girl (2014).   Time stamps: 00:06:35 — History segment: Critical reception of Drop Dead Fred; development of the movie; career overview of Rik Mayall; career overview of Phoebe Cates; legacy of Drop Dead Fred   00:39:10 — Movie discussion 01:54:25 — Final thoughts & star ratings   Drop Dead Fred (1991) was directed by Ate de Jong.

What are the best movies from six of the greatest directors ever? Lance Taylor and Tyler Johns go filmmaker by filmmaker through the careers of Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Paul Thomas Anderson, Stanley Kubrick, and Christopher Nolan to choose the films that best define each director. From Tarantino's pop-culture-changing Pulp Fiction to Scorsese's gangster classic Goodfellas, Fincher's dark thriller Seven, PTA's powerhouse drama There Will Be Blood, Kubrick's horror landmark The Shining, and Nolan's massive historical epic Oppenheimer, this episode is a full movie-lover deep dive. The guys also discuss the difference between a director's “best” movie and their personal favorite, why some films age better than others, and how certain movies reshape an entire genre. Before the main topic, Lance and Tyler review recent viewings including Who Will Stop the Rain?, Marathon Man, Billy Idol Should Be Dead, Hooper, Widow's Bay, Mortal Kombat 2, and Batman Beyond. #BestFilms #BestMovies #LegendaryDirectors #QuentinTarantino #MartinScorsese #ChristopherNolan #StanleyKubrick #DavidFincher #PaulThomasAnderson #PulpFiction #Goodfellas #Oppenheimer #TheShining #TheNextReel #moviereview SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - / @nextroundlive FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Sponsor the show: sales@nextroundlive.com Learn more about your ad choices.

We begin our month of celebrating moms with a New York City Brownstone, a hidden fortune, a corn rowed Jared Leto, a sympathetic Forest Whitaker, a psychopathic Dwight Yoakum, a young Kristen Stewart, a protective motherly Jodie Foster, a meticulous director in David Fincher, and it all centers on a Panic Room. That's right we watched the 2002 David Fincher Panic Room join us if you dare. 

Panic Room was a successful mid-range budget thriller from the early 2000s. Starring Jodie Foster and directed by David Fincher, it became a huge hit at the time of its release, but has since become somewhat forgotten. So join us as we delve back into this slice of history, which still looks pretty great by today's standards, especially considering the use of CGI effects to achieve specific shots. Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for which one was the most deserving to die. If you would like to join our livestream recordings for The Cherry Picker, we would be thrilled to have you with us.

GREEN ROOM (2015) Director: Jeremy Saulnier Cast: Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, Alia Shawkat, Patrick StewartA punk band walks into a Nazi bar. No, that's not the setup for a joke — it's the setup for one of the most suffocating, nerve-shredding thrillers of the last decade. This week on Dewey Pod Monster, Sean and John dig deep into Jeremy Saulnier's 2015 siege film Green Room, where a broke touring punk band witnesses a murder backstage and suddenly finds itself trapped in a standoff with a very organized, very murderous gang of neo-Nazi skinheads. Spoiler: the dogs are not friendly.In this episode, we discuss:Captain Picard's Cold-Blooded Era — Patrick Stewart plays Darcy, the calculating Nazi ringleader, with such chilling charisma that both hosts can't stop talking about it. He's warm, persuasive, and absolutely terrifying — and apparently has been acting since the 1760s, so he's had time to practice.Would a Real Punk Band Actually Do This? — John goes full music nerd and calls out the movie's two biggest logical leaps: why any self-respecting anti-Nazi punk band would knowingly play a neo-Nazi club, and how they survived long enough to open with Nazi Punks Fuck Off without getting murdered on stage. Sean defends the film. John is unconvinced.The Art of Doing More With Less — Shot on a $5 million budget with basically three sets, Green Room delivers a masterclass in compressed, claustrophobic tension. The hosts debate whether it's a horror film, a thriller, or just a really unpleasant Tuesday night — and explore how Saulnier's visual style echoes David Fincher's color palette and controlled camera work.One-Handed Shotgun Detour — The conversation takes a brief detour to John's other watch this week, The Rip (Netflix), starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in a cop drama that almost holds together — right up until Affleck fires a shotgun with one hand out a moving SUV window. John has thoughts.We Also Talked About:Long Shot (1981) (Internet Archive) — A Leif Garrett teen heartthrob vehicle about a high school soccer star who plans to fund his European football dreams by winning a foosball tournament. It is exactly as good as that sounds.Long Gone (1987) (Youtube) — An HBO baseball film set in 1957 following the fictional Tampico Stogies minor league team, starring William Petersen and Dermot Mulroney. A discovered gem to some; "it was fine" to Sean.The Lowdown (2025) (Amazon) — An FX series starring Ethan Hawke as a truth-chasing freelance journalist in Tulsa investigating what may or may not be a murder. Coen Brothers vibes, from the director of Reservation Dogs. Sean's wife kept interrupting him.Disco Lunch by The Boy Detective (Youtube) — A southeastern Michigan ska-horror-punk album that John is furious he didn't listen to sooner. Available on streaming and in vinyl variants at Pinkerton Records.Unlocked (Netflix) — A real-jail social experiment show where prisoners are allowed to semi-govern themselves. John watched Season 2 and found himself unable to sympathize with a single person in it.Blue Ruin (2013) — Saulnier's previous film and the first entry in his loose "revenge trilogy." Essential viewing if Green Room is your entry point.Rebel Ridge (2024) — The unofficial third film in Saulnier's spiritual trilogy. Mentioned as context for why Sean has been tracking this director for years.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week. We're proud members of the YouRun Podcast Network.

Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski were off last week at the Chicago Critics Film Festival but return to catch you up on the world of physical media. There are serial killers played by Matt Dillon and another stopped by Charles Bronson. Criterion puts out more Kurosawa and there's a documentary on George Stevens as well. A Disney animated film from the ‘50s gets the upgrade as does a sci-fi film from the era. A comedy classic and one of the great baseball films celebrate their 15th anniversaries. The pair look back at the lasting power of David Fincher's adaptation of male insecurity and culminate with one of the great action films of the 1980s and the TV series it spawned in its wake.1:36 - Criterion (Stray Dog (4K))5:04 - Warner Archive (George Stevens: A Filmmaker's Journey)7:41 - Universal (It Came from Outer Space (4K), Bridesmaids (4K))19:04 - Cult Epics (Girls 4K)22:51 - Disney (Alice In Wonderland (1951) (4K), Fight Club (4K Steelbook))37:44 - Sony (Moneyball (4K))46:48 - Kino (Bend of the River, 10 to Midnight (4K), A Kiss Before Dying (1991), Charli XCX: Alone Together)1:12:03 - Arrow (Blue Thunder (4K))1:26:35 - New TV on Blu-Ray) (Blue Thunder (The Complete Series), IT: Welcome to Derry (The Complete First Season), Gilmore Girls: The Complete Series)1:28:04 - New Theatrical Titles On Blu-ray (Wuthering Heights (2026) 4K, GOAT (4K), Dracula, Obex, Solo Mio, Mistress Dispeller, I Can Only Imagine 2, Youngblood (2025), Twinless)1:29:49 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

Travels With the Dark: Stories from humans in the “Limit-Experience” is our series concerning real occurrences of human beings when they are brought into or more aptly, up against “limit-experience”, a phrase from French and German philosophers that attempts to describe in the most general way what human beings undergo when they are thrust into situations that push them to their limits and conditions of maximum intensity. While originally this was intended to be a series in the “True Crime” genre  I wondered to myself if subject and theme could extended outward. It might not even only encompass the most negative aspect of human experience.I think the genesis of this two part topic was probably my first viewing of the David Fincher series Mindhunter which is a dramatization and representation of the work of Ann Burgess and John Douglas as they tried to investigate and comprehend the phenomenon of serial killers in our society. This lead me to decide to do an episode on serial murder itself.The preparation for these episodes was for me immense, perhaps greater than any episode I have created on this podcast. It involved multiple sources and books and many cases often of a most unpleasant nature and involved reintroduction to some rather famous cases like Ted Bundy, Rodney Alcala and John Wayne Gacey. Sometimes episodes on our podcast are the invention of others and I think our producer Laurie Strickland was the person who brought up this particular idea. Serial crime is such an outsized topic: for example in one relatively small country alone, France, the discussion of the crimes there comprised an entire episode.In this episode, Mitch and Deb head across the Atlantic and into some of the darkest corners of serial-killer history to unpack three cases that, outside of France and Belgium, rarely get the attention they warrant. Drawing on more than a decade of living in France and going down the rabbit hole of its true-crime archives, Deb brings a perspective shaped by immersion— the kind that only comes from reading between the lines of a country's own media, myths, and collective memory.Starting with Henri Landru, France's very own Bluebeard, a polite, almost forgettable man who turned lonely wartime classifieds into a hunting ground, Mitch and Deb dig into how scarcity, social upheaval, and the chaos of World War I created the perfect backdrop for a predator who didn't look like one, and how Landru managed to make women disappear so thoroughly that even now, the details feel more like rumor than record.From there, things take an even darker turn with Marc Dutroux, a case that still haunts Belgium and shook public trust to its core. Deb and Mitch walk through some of the systemic failures that allowed Dutroux's unimaginable crimes to go on for so long. Finally, they dive into Guy Georges, the Beast of the Bastille, whose reign of terror in 1990s Paris exposed both the limits of early forensic policing and the danger of underestimating someone hiding in plain sight. They discuss how Georges evaded capture for years, the role of emerging DNA technology in finally stopping him, and how fear rippled through a city most often associated with romance, glamour, and dreams. As always, Mitch and Deb go beyond the headlines and into the psychology, the social context, and the uncomfortable truths that lie just beneath the surface. These aren't just stories about killers. They're about the environments that shape them, the blind spots that protect them, and the uneasy realization that evil doesn't always look the way we expect.For Deb and Mitch, true crime isn't about spectacle. It's about understanding how people slip through cracks, how systems fail, and how, if you look closely enough, the warning signs are almost always there from the start.#truecrime #travelswiththedark #aesthetics

Phil and Emily are joined by film critic and author Jason Bailey to revisit Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, George Clooney's 2002 directorial debut based on Chuck Barris' unauthorized autobiography. Jason is the author of Gandolfini: The Real Life of the Man Who Made Tony Soprano, now available in paperback.Chuck Barris created The Dating Game and The Gong Show. He also claimed to have secretly killed 33 people for the CIA. Charlie Kaufman wrote the screenplay, Sam Rockwell stars as Barris, and Drew Barrymore and Julia Roberts co-star. Before Clooney made it, the film passed through David Fincher, Darren Aronofsky, Sam Mendes, Bryan Singer, Johnny Depp, Ben Stiller, Sean Penn, and Mike Myers over nearly a decade of development.The three dig into what Clooney kept and what he stripped from Kaufman's original script, whether Sam Rockwell's performance holds the whole thing together, and what Roberts and Barrymore bring to a film that never quite commits to its own tonal chaos. They also get into Clooney's arc as a director, a genuinely promising debut followed by a filmography of diminishing returns, and whether Confessions of a Dangerous Mind holds up as his most interesting work two decades on.Jason says yes, unequivocally. Emily loved it then and is reconsidering. Phil never fully clicked with it. They all agree the ending is something close to perfect.+Follow the show and guests:Podcast Like It's... https://www.instagram.com/podcastlikeitsPhil Iscove: https://www.instagram.com/pmiscoveEmily St. James: https://www.instagram.com/emilystjamsJason Bailey: https://www.instagram.com/jasondashbaileyPatreon (bonus episodes and video): http://patreon.com/Podcastlikeits Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, we dive into David Fincher's The Social Network and unpack how a spite-fueled college project turned into the platform that basically controls how the world talks.  Did Mark Zuckerberg actually steal Facebook from the Winklevoss twins?  Was Edwardo a loyal friend who got screwed, or a cautious businessman who didn't fully commit and still walked away with more than he deserved?  Some Sean Parker hate and, maybe the spiciest question of all: Is this movie quietly showing us the true origin story of our modern chaos—did Facebook help break how society communicates, or are we just looking for someone to blame? •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:03:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:07:00  - Pertinent movie details  •0:11:30  -  Critical and fan reviews •0:19:00 - Scene by scene breakdown  •1:38:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS-  **ASPCA-  To learn more about Pet Health Insurance, visit http://aspcapetinsurance.com/breakfast  **BIG GROVE- Check out our beers of the episode here- http://BigGrove.com  **PROGRESSIVE- Visit http://progressive.com  **NordVPN-  Grab your EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal by going to http://nordvpn.com/breakfast to get a Huge Discount off your NordVPN Plan + 4 additional months on top!
