I want you to film nerd as hard as you can. On this episode, BK & Jack break the first two rules and have a great conversation talking about Fight Club! During this deep dive, you'll hear how the literary tradition that gave the world "dangerous writing" also gave Chuck Palahniuk the blueprint for his dark satire, how a group of dedicated creatives convinced Fox to make their "seditious little film" on a Hollywood budget, how the film landed in smack in the middle of one of the most fractious years in American cultural history, and much more! And if this is your first night with the Film Nerds, you have to listen!

Zanim jeszcze ktokolwiek pomyślał o serialu osadzonymi w uniwersum Obcego, zanim pan David Fincher wpadł na pomysł przeniesienia Ripley do kolonii karnej, wydawnictwo Dark Horse Comics oraz współpracujący z nim pan Mark Verheiden opowiedzieli własną kontynuację filmu Jamesa Camerona.Jak prezentuje się - fabularnie i wizualnie - "Aliens. Outbreak"? Skąd pomysł, aby rozpocząć budowę komiksowej franczyzy tej serii? Jak bardzo i dlaczego historia pana Verheidena różni się od wersji kanonicznej? Czym jest Kościół Niepokalanego Wylęgu i czy rzeczywiście nasz Obcy stoi na samym szczycie łańcucha pokarmowego? O tym wszystkim i jeszcze kilku innych kwestiach usłyszycie w dzisiejszym podcaście.Osoby nieprzepadające za spoilerami mogą słuchać spokojnie. Zostaniecie poinformowani, kiedy zrobić sobie przerwę na lekturę komiksu.
Die "Alien"-Franchise ist eine der verwirrendsten IPs Hollywood. Meisterregisseure wie Ridley Scott, James Cameron und David Fincher haben ihr bereits einen eigenen Spin gegeben, dann wurde HR Gigers brillantes Geschöpf zum Kanonenfutter für den Predator bevor Ridley Scott es für zwei Prequels wieder ausmottete und 2024 mit "Alien: Romulus" ein Sidequel startete. Nun wagt sich "Fargo"-Macher Noah Hawley mit "Alien: Earth" (3:13) an die erste Serie und wir sind aus unterschiedlichen Gründen gespannt. Für Michael ist "Alien" die beste Franchise aller Zeiten, Holger und Rüdiger sind grundsätzlich interessiert und Roland Verhältnis zur Reihe beschreibt man am Besten mit "It's Complicated!" Doch trotz dieser unterschiedlichen Ausgangslagen bleibt nach den ersten sechs Folgen ein gemeinsames Fazit: "Alien" lebt wieder. In einer ausführlichen Diskussion klären wir, was Hawley besser macht als viele Filme, wie HR Gigers Design angepasst wurde und welches "Alien"-Vorwissen man für die Serie braucht. Im Anschluss verabschiedet sich Roland auf einen Salbeitee und Holger, Michael und Rüdiger diskutieren über den Südkorea-Agententhriller "Butterfly" (51:08) auf Prime Video. Kann die Serie von und mit Daniel Dae Kim ("Lost") sich nahtlos in Amazons Dad-TV-Erfolgsschiene einreihen oder hat sie zu große Probleme? Cold-Open-Frage: "Welche Serie aus 2025 müssen wir noch dringend nachholen?"

On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, Kristian Harloff and Steph Sabraw break down what Gunn revealed, how it sets the tone for DC's future, and what fans can expect from this highly anticipated project. But that's not all—there's a ton of other big movie news to cover. Paramount is moving forward with Top Gun 3, new Star Trek and World War Z plans. We'll also dig into the latest James Bond casting rumors that have caused plenty of confusion. Plus, Cate Blanchett says she's open to working with David Fincher on a Squid Game project, and Universal has officially secured the Bourne rights in perpetuity.
Dana and Tom with 5x Club member, Peterson W. Hill, revisit The Social Network (2010): directed by David Fincher, written by Aaron Sorkin, cinematography by Jeff Cronenweth, music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, starring Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, and Armie Hammer.Plot Summary: The Social Network dramatizes the turbulent origins of Facebook, tracing its rise from a dorm room project to a global tech empire. The story centers on Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg), whose brilliance and ambition lead him to create a revolutionary social networking site. But as Facebook explodes in popularity, personal relationships unravel and legal battles erupt. Former friends and collaborators—including Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake), and the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer)—clash over ownership, betrayal, and the blurred lines between genius and opportunism. It's a tale of innovation, ego, and the cost of success in the digital age.Guest:Peterson W.

Send us a textKathy, Burk and Ramesh discuss the sequel to "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" that is in development, with David Fincher directing and Quentin Tarantino writing the script.

Every podcast talks about this film even though its a clear violation of Rule #1 but rules are for butt wipes and space monkeys.

We also ramble about toxic masculinity in podcasting, logistics of domestic terrorism, male genitalia, 1 star IMDb reviews, and occasionally bring up the film.

1920's German expressionist The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari did more than inspire a whole kind of cinema-it also became the great-grandparent of a genre. The mind-bending dive into the psyche genre that saw three of its greatest examples all influence each other: Ingmar Bergman's 1966 Persona which begat in many ways Robert Altman's 1977 3 Women. And all those movies consciously or unconsciously begat David Lynch's 2001 masterpiece Mulholland Drive. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill takes a look at the journey of inspiration of all these movies as well as side trips to other great examples of the genre like David Fincher's Fight Club, Roman Polanski's Repulsion, and Darren Aronovsky's Black Swan.

It's Die Hard in a brownstone!This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK we're breaking into PANIC ROOM with the help of a specialist: Shahir Daud - filmmaker, Fincher fanatic and host of the long-running show THE ONLY PODCAST ABOUT MOVIES!On their first night after moving in to a luxurious New York ‘townstone', recently divorced single mother Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) and her 11 year-old daughter Sarah (Kristen Stewart) are terrorized by a trio of mysterious burglars. When Meg and Sarah become aware of the intruders, they seek refuge in the house's high-tech ‘panic room', only to discover that the thing the thieves want most is inside that very room. Despite being more of a Hitchcockian thriller than a traditional action movie, PANIC ROOM is nonetheless filled with DIE HARD DNA – right down to the bearer bonds (the economics of which we're still trying to understand). The guys place this film in context among the wider careers of both director David Fincher and writer David Koepp, and analyze if it explores any of the thematic obsession of both of these storied creators. They discuss the performances of the movie's eclectic cast and go deep on Fincher's groundbreaking filmmaking techniques. As always events culminate with the DIE HARD OSCARS and the delightfully devilish DOUBLE JEOPARDY TRIVIA QUIZ. Fincher-philes rise up! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sp2kKzrCm44At the time of release, PANIC ROOM is streaming on Fubo, and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms!Click here to subscribe to our Patreon feed 48 HOURS OF BUDDY MOVIES!www.patreon.com/48hoursofbuddymovies Hosted on Acast.

Yeah, like we weren't going to go over two and a half hours on FULL FRONTAL. Following the generational run of OUT OF SIGHT, THE LIMEY, ERIN BROCKOVICH, TRAFFIC, and OCEAN'S ELEVEN, Steven Soderbergh did what anyone would do: he shot a semi-improvised ensemble Hollywood satire on a consumer grade digital camera. The result, FULL FRONTAL, is a fascinating film about connection, mediation, performance, and the film industry, so who better to talk about it with than our Hollywood bigwig buddy, filmmaker and producer Chadd Harbold? This is a really good one, folks - don't sleep on it!

Checking in on the Traverse household, things are looking ... somber. As happy as the hosts are to all be present and accountable, the mood is somewhat dampened by the final ties breaking between Lake and her father, and where that leads Webb. Thankfully, the romantic backdrop of Nochecita cushions things a bit, even if Frank and Reef's glimpse at peace is cut short. It's not all a loss, though!

Documentarian CHRISTOPHER JASON BELL (MeansTV, 'Miss Me Yet,' the upcoming 'Failed State') joins us to talk about 'A Married Couple,' Alan King's 1969 documentary about a ditentegrating Canadian marriage. Topics include: reality TV, the weird sexism of how people recived this movie at the time, performence in documentary, the parade of hideous outfits this guy wears, and the terrible language of irrational arguements stuck deep in a nightmare mire. I will not be indexing our recs this week, there are simply too many of them. Next week's episode will return to the DIGITAL MINES as we talk about "The Social Network," David Fincher's symphony for the end of human communication. Check it out!!!
Hosted by Burning Bright and Chris Paul, this episode revisits David Fincher's 2011 film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with fresh eyes and hard questions. The hosts break down the film's grim narrative of elite depravity, ritualistic abuse, and generational corruption, connecting it to real-world stories like Epstein, media psyops, and the weaponization of sexual crimes for cultural engineering. They examine how the film's bleak view of masculinity, its heavy-handed depiction of Nazis, and its graphic scenes of violence and assault blurred the line between storytelling and exploitation. Alongside reflections on Hollywood's complicity and the rise of the “strong female lead” archetype, the conversation veers into how narratives were shaped to seed public demoralization and prime the MeToo era. The hosts also debate whether such stories are cautionary tales or deliberate attempts to normalize the monstrous. As the discussion moves from film critique to cultural analysis, the episode offers a deeper look at how popular media can shape, distort, or reveal uncomfortable truths about the powerful.
In front of an audience at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, the veteran Swedish actor reflects working with everyone from Ingmar Bergman to David Fincher, moving between art house projects (e.g. his five collaborations with Lars von Trier) and studio fare ('Dune,' 'Mamma Mia!,' 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and five MCU installments), and why he's particularly proud of his latest film, Joachim Trier's Cannes' Grand Prize winner in which he plays an aging filmmaker who has a complicated relationship with his two daughters.

Eric, Jeff, Sheek, Styles and Jadakiss got together in Yonkers to break down The Social Network, the 2010 American biographical drama film portraying the founding of the social networking website Facebook and its founder Mark Zuckerberg, directed by David Fincher, written by Aaron Sorkin, starring Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Armie Hammer and Max Minghella. We discuss the impact of social media, what makes "genius," how file sharing changed the music business, what billionaires we trust, if "The Social Network" is the film of our generation, whether it matters that there's creative license in a film like this and much more!

In 2000, star Tim Cruise was in top of the world. By 2006, he had a bit of a PR problem. Though his previous film War of the Worlds was a certified hit, his off the screen presence was becoming more and more of a problem. Some people would say toxic. Getting in arguments played out in public with Brooke Shields's about the need to do away with prescribed drugs. To marrying a woman who was twenty years his junior. And of course jumping on talk show couches proclaiming his love for said woman. Directors were not wanting to work with him. And the general public, the same people who had spent tons of money to buy tickets to his movies, was rapidly starting to turn on him. So after a dissolved attempt to get David Fincher to direct Mission Impossible 3, perhaps the most important movie of Cruise's career, who does he turn to in order to resurrect his career? An unknown in the cinematic universe director by the name of JJ Abrams. Listen to Matt, Garrett and Adam dissect the sequel that would set a tone that would permeate through the entire rest of the franchise. Matt, not the biggest Abrams fan, and Garrett, certainly have their opinions that have been known in the past. But what about Adam? Stay tuned. mission Impossible Ghost Protocol isn't far behind.

Send us a textRoad School.That's what my wife calls it.In 2017 we tuned into Netflix's new series Mindhunters, based on the book by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker. In the premier episode, directed by David Fincher, the FBI agents in the series are traveling across the country and teaching police departments how to identify serious violent offenders. They called it Road School and it stuck with my wife.By then I had been doing that very same thing, albeit the topic was a little different, for 17 years. She even had “Bye Bye BPD, Hello Road School” put on top of my retirement cake.My second career since my retirement didn't happen overnight. I didn't retire on Monday and then start teaching on Tuesday…well, actually I sort of did just that, but in reality, the ground work had started 20 years earlier.
In this episode of 'Need Some Introduction,' hosts explore the new Dennis Lehane TV series 'Smoke' on Apple TV+. They discuss the show's mixed critical reception and delve into episodes one through three, comparing 'Smoke' to Lehane's previous series 'Blackbird.' Darren and Victor provide detailed analyses of the characters, plot developments, and their own theories regarding potential twists and constructs within the story, such as the possibility that what the audience sees might be the fictional narrative of a book written by the protagonist. Additional discussions include recent films like the F1 movie, '28 Years Later,' and upcoming blockbusters 'Superman' and 'Fantastic Four.' The conversation also touches on Brad Pitt's performance in the F1 movie, the polarized opinions on its execution, and potential crossovers between directors like Quentin Tarantino and David Fincher. The hosts round off the episode with anticipation for future reviews and analyses of ongoing series such as 'Dexter: Resurrection' and 'MurderBot.' mailto:needssomeintroduction@gmail.com 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 01:05 F1 Movie Review and Brad Pitt's Performance 08:25 Tarantino and Fincher: Upcoming Projects 17:23 Jurassic World and Summer Blockbusters 21:12 Dexter Resurrection and TV Reboots 25:10 Introduction to 'Smoke' TV Series 33:23 Analyzing the Lead Actor's Performance 33:57 Critiques and Character Dynamics 35:37 Exploring the Psychology of Arsonists 37:54 The Big Reveal and Its Implications 40:40 Character Relationships and Development 45:04 Theories and Speculations 01:01:50 Episode Three Reactions and Reviews 01:08:39 Analyzing the Music and Tone 01:09:08 Character Analysis: The Silly Pyro 01:10:55 Speculations and Theories 01:11:41 Episode Length and Structure 01:12:25 Character Performances and Dynamics 01:14:19 Calderon's Backstory and Themes of Denial 01:16:50 Constructs and Writing Techniques 01:28:44 Family Dynamics and Flashbacks 01:34:42 The Cat and Mouse Game 01:38:39 Upcoming Discussions and Final Thoughts
Is Se7en an all-time great? It certainly has a GREAT ending, but does it deliver the rest of the goods? Listen to the boys discuss the David Fincher masterpiece.
This week we're descending into Se7en (1995), David Fincher's rain-soaked nightmare where gluttony, greed, and wrath aren't just sins—they're crime scenes. Brad Pitt's the hot-headed rookie, Morgan Freeman's the weary sage, and Kevin Spacey's waiting in the shadows with a plan that's been rotting for a long time. It's a bleak dive into moral decay, a city that feels cursed, and a final box that still haunts us. We're peeling back the blood-streaked layers to figure out why this grim masterpiece refuses to let go. Did you enjoy the episode?

Rainy Day Rabbit Holes Presents: Midday Musings – Alien: Romulus ReviewWe're thrilled to feature an episode from Midday Musings with Stephen & Laura, one of our fellow shows in the Umbrella Podcast Collective!In this episode, Stephen and Laura break down the brand-new Alien: Romulus (2024), directed by Fede Alvarez (Don't Breathe). This movie follows five indentured teen workers trying to escape a Weyland Corp mining colony, only to find themselves trapped on a derelict space station overrun by xenomorphs. With standout performances (David Jonsson especially!), gritty tension, and sharp sci-fi world-building, Alien: Romulus brings back the slow-burn horror we've been missing since Alien and Aliens. Shea absolutely adored this film — especially after the weird detours of Prometheus and Covenant — and is excited for you to hear this deep dive.

Not for the faint of heart, the film holds up extremely well and is a prime example of 90's filmmaking at its finest.Along with our newest love fest over a film, we enjoy some new beers from a love fest of a beer location in St. Louis, and also find some fun new trivia and have a lot of laughs about a not so funny subject film.Thank you for your support, and find more at 20years4beers.comSupport the show
We're about to break the first rule of Fight Club. In this episode, we dive headfirst into David Fincher's dark, stylish, and endlessly debated 1999 film based on Chuck Palahniuk's debut novel. We talk about the brilliance of the voiceover, one of the greatest character intros of all time, and how Brad Pitt and Edward Norton pulled off one of cinema's wildest twists. But beyond the punches and soap-making, we ask the deeper questions: Is Fight Club to blame for toxic masculinity? Or is it a razor-sharp satire that's been misunderstood for over two decades? Let's talk about it in today's episode.
