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

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.Gli anni '90 stavano chiudendo i battenti per gli anni 2000 e Fincher decise di chiudere con stile, adattando il romanzo d'esordio di Chuck Palahniuk "Fight Club" e realizzando uno dei film di culto più celebri di tutti i tempi.

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. The Summer of Nolan opens with a podcast about Christopher Nolan's Memento (2000)!    Time stamps: 00:05:50 — History segment: Gillian Flynn writes the Gone Girl novel; movie optioned by Reese Witherspoon and David Fincher is hired to direct; career of Rosamund Pike; career of Ben Affleck  00:51:40 — Movie discussion 02:38:20 — Final thoughts & star ratings   Gone Girl (2014) was directed by David Fincher.

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).

On this episode of the Hunting Connection Podcast I'm joined by Dustin Fincher, better known as “Dusty”. Him and I have been going back and forth for years swapping hunting stories, photos and plenty of good yarns, so it was good to finally sit down and have a proper chat.   Since moving house and trying to get the new setup sorted, I've been a little short on episodes, so I hit Dusty up for a quick catch up about how he got started hunting and what he's up to these days. Even though this one only runs for about 45 minutes, it honestly felt like 5.   Dusty is a full-time outdoorsman living the sort of lifestyle most hunters dream about. From assisting guided hunts in Alaska during hunting season, to guiding shark fishing charters in Florida, he's spent his life outdoors. He also took his first deer at just 6 years old, so hunting has been in his blood from the start.   This definitely won't be the last episode with Dusty either — once the new studio is fully set up we'll be getting him back on for a lot more chats.   Give him a follow on Instagram at @runtotheoutdoors.

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.Forte del successo di "Seven", Fincher si cimentò con un film più ambizioso e peculiare. Qualcosa non andò secondo i piani, stando anche allo stesso Fincher, ma comunque "The Game" fu presentato al pubblico con tutti i pro e i contro.

Kevin Smith's Clerks The 1990s were a strange, wondrous, and hopeful decade for Cinema. Three decades later we look back on those mid 90s attitudes, trends, screams, and shouts. With the emergence of Sundance, The Weinsteins, and voices such as Tarantino, Fincher, Rodriguez, and others, Independent Cinema was flexing in a way that threatened the studios in much the same way the 70s thrilled, excited, and - most importantly - challenged that audience. This week we look at one of the loudest and unlikliest voices to emerge from this decade; A Coming of Age, Adulthood focused story following the lives of convenience store workers, Kevin Smith's 1994 classic Clerks. Thirty-two years later the anger, frustration, and hopelessness of our collective futures remain. Smith (working as a convenience store clerk while supporting his passion for writing and filmmaking) would give purpose to that anger with a foul-mouthed, pessimistic, and hopeless look at blue-collar jobs and the people who are swallowed by them. Through the lives of two best friends, Dante & Randall (with a couple of pot-dealing morons names Jay & Silent Bob singing the chorus), Smith gave voice to the fears, inhibitions, and cynicism of the 90s and the working mans' struggle. Most importantly, how does all of this relate to us? Well, we are all mired in the aimlessness and calcification of the 40 hour work week. Clerks spoke volumes to a generation unsure of itself. Thirty-two years later that volume has not dimmed. Take a listen and let us know what you think.

E così fu con il cupo e pessimista "Seven", thriller poliziesco che non fa prigionieri in un mondo destinato alla distruzione come il nostro.

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.

Fincher accettò la sfida ma forse non è ancora pronto per un progetto così grande e qualcosa andò storto con questo imperfetto ma comunque affascinante "Alien³".

Born and raised in Princeton, New Jersery, Wilkes relocated to the West Coast with his family, where he would go on to earn a BA at UC Santa Cruz, before eventually deciding to study screenwriting at the American Film Institute (AFI). Having worked as a screnwriter on such cult classics as 1994's "Airheads" (Adam Sandler, Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, Chris Farley, and Michael Richards) and "The Stoned Age" (Michael Kopelow, Bradford Tatum, and Clifton Collins Jr.), which was released this past Monday as an exclusive cult collectible Blu-Ray in celebration of 420, Wilkes officially made his semi-autobiographical coming of age tale "Glory Daze", starring a pre-Kevin Smith Ben Affleck, Sam Rockwell, and French Stewart, and has since paved way as a legend in an intense industry that is changing quicker than you, and I could ever fathom. While combining the existential elements of youth, relationships, career, and the brave balance of life, Wilkes may be your new favorite obsession when it comes to cult comedies, and subliminal stoner stories. On this episode of The Self Portrait Gospel Podcast, we sit down with the veteran screenwriter/director to discuss the old glory daze of long-lasting youth in the 1990s, films legends such as Spielberg, Fincher, and Soderbergh, the never-ending narrative of nostalgia, the impact of AI, and much more.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo 2011 Review is on the table this week, and the boys are diving headfirst into David Fincher's icy, brutal, and deeply unsettling thriller. What started as scepticism about the need for an English-language remake quickly turns into appreciation, because this is one dark ride that absolutely earns its place.Whitey, Gow, and Dan break down the 2011 adaptation of Stieg Larsson's global phenomenon, unpacking the mystery of Harriet Vanger, the twisted history of one of cinema's worst families, and the unforgettable pairing of Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander. From the jump, the lads admit they didn't think this remake was necessary… but by the end, they're more than happy it exists.The episode kicks off in classic Born to Watch fashion with plenty of nonsense, a bit of self-reflection about who talks the most, and a few war stories thrown in for good measure. But once they settle in, the focus shifts to Fincher's signature style, the film's haunting tone, and why Scandinavian crime stories just hit differently.There's a big discussion around rewatchability, with Whitey firmly in the "this is a sneaky background classic" camp, while Gow sits more in one-watch territory due to the film's heavy subject matter. Dan lands somewhere in the middle, crediting Whitey for originally putting him onto the film and admitting it's grown on him over time.The boys also dive into the casting, with Daniel Craig delivering a more grounded, vulnerable performance compared to his Bond persona, and Rooney Mara absolutely owning the role of Lisbeth Salander. There's plenty of chat about who else could've played the role, including Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson, and why Mara ultimately nailed it.One of the standout discussions centres around Stellan Skarsgård's chilling performance as Martin Vanger, particularly in the film's final act. The tension, the calm menace, and that unforgettable house scene all get the Born to Watch treatment, with the boys calling it one of the most gripping sequences they've covered on the podcast.They also touch on how the film compares to both the original Swedish version and the novel, noting that while the movie simplifies some of the complex family dynamics, it still captures the core of the story incredibly well.Of course, no Born to Watch episode is complete without a look at the numbers. With a 7.8 IMDb rating and an 86% Rotten Tomatoes score, the film sits alongside some seriously heavy hitters, and the boys debate whether it deserves that company.There's also a bit of love for the iconic opening title sequence, which Whitey argues is one of the best ever put to screen, and a fair bit of criticism for the trailer, which apparently gives away far too much of the plot.As always, the episode blends sharp insight with absolute chaos, balancing genuine film appreciation with the kind of banter you'd expect from three blokes who don't take themselves too seriously.If you're into dark thrillers, Fincher films, or just want to hear the boys unpack one of the most disturbing mysteries of the 2010s, this is one you won't want to miss.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONWho talks too much, Whitey or Dan?Is Lisbeth Salander one of the best characters of the 2010s?Is this remake actually better than the original?#TheGirlWithTheDragonTattoo #MoviePodcast #BornToWatch #FilmReview #DavidFincher #DanielCraig #RooneyMara #CrimeThriller #MovieReview #Podcast

Someone once wrote "This podcast is a fine thing and worth fighting for". We agree with the second part.A decaying megacity. Perpetually dark, rain soaked and its streets are unforgiving. No, we are not reviewing Salford. This is 1995's incredibly twisted (trust us) crime noir thriller (horror?) SE7EN. The movie that made a certain David Fincher a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. Not just Fincher, this movie is filled with quality - including Back to the Pictures Alumnus like Brad Pitt, Morgan Freedman and...Kevin Spacey (Yep, this shit is dark!). A movie 30 years old already, yet its bleak, despondent and altogether nihilistic tone feels uncomfortably close to now.

A deep dive conversation based on the moviescramble.co.uk review written by Mary Munoz. A man solitary and cold, methodical and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, the killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. And yet the longer he waits, the more he thinks he's losing his mind, if not his cool. A brutal, bloody, and stylish noir story of a professional assassin lost in a world without a moral compass, this is a case study of a man alone, armed to the teeth and slowly losing his mind. The Killer is a 2023 American action thriller film[3] directed by David Fincher from a screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker. It is based on the French graphic-novel series The Killer, written by Alexis "Matz" Nolent and illustrated by Luc Jacamon. The film stars Michael Fassbender in the main role alongside Arliss Howard, Charles Parnell, Kerry O'Malley, Sala Baker, Sophie Charlotte, and Tilda Swinton in supporting roles. In the film, Fassbender plays an assassin who embarks on an international vendetta after a hit goes wrong. Development on the graphic novel adaptation began in November 2007, when Fincher was reported to direct the film with Alessandro Camon writing the script, and Paramount Pictures and Plan B Entertainment, respectively, were hired to distribute and produce the film. By February 2021, Fincher moved the project over to Netflix with Walker replacing Camon as writer and Fassbender circling the lead role. Swinton joined the cast that October, with filming beginning the following month, and wrapped March 2022. Filming locations included Paris, the Dominican Republic, and several places in the United States.

Is Panic Room just Home Alone For Adults? David Fincher's 2002 home invasion thriller is sharper, darker, and weirder than you remember — and this week we're breaking down every inch of it. Brian, John, and returning guest Anastasia Elfman revisit one of the most underrated thrillers of the early 2000s. They cover Fincher's Hitchcockian direction, those impossibly fluid CGI camera moves, and the film's relentless tension-building — plus everything the IMDb synopsis conveniently left out. On the table this week: whether Jared Leto's cornrow-sporting Junior ruins the film or serves it (the panel is divided), why Forest Whitaker's Burnham is the most sympathetic criminal in cinema history, and why Dwight Yoakam's Raul was robbed of an Oscar. They also dig into the bearer bonds MacGuffin — yes, whoever physically holds them legally owns them, robbery be damned — and unpack the wild behind-the-scenes story of Nicole Kidman's knee injury, Jodie Foster filming while pregnant, and how Kristen Stewart ended up in the role that was originally cast very differently. Plus: diabetes as the fourth villain of Panic Room, the Home Alone propane explosion comparison, and what you would actually do if the cops showed up at your door while armed criminals watched you on camera. The episode closes with a tease of Cinema Psycho Show's 10th anniversary special — Brian and John are fixing Batman Forever. You heard that right.

Bienvenidos, cinéfilos hierberos, a un nuevo episodio de Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas, cine, televisión, música y videojuegos para escuchar.Muchas gracias por habernos esperado; sé que la pausa se sintió más larga que un plano secuencia de Alejandro González Iñárritu, pero tras un merecido descanso navideño que nos ha servido para purgar el exceso de turrón y cine de sobremesa, volvemos renovados. Soy José Enrique Guzmán, su anfitrión y aquí en las oficinas de CINEFILIA Y OTRAS HIERBAS estamos listos para retomar lo que mejor sabemos hacer: diseccionar historias que nos obsesionan.Hoy continuamos con nuestro ciclo dedicado a uno de los arquitectos del diálogo más veloces de la industria: Aaron Sorkin. Siguiendo nuestro recorrido cronológico, llegamos a la película que, para muchos, no solo es su obra maestra, sino la pieza que definió el pulso cultural de la década pasada: “La Red Social” (2010).La génesis del proyecto es casi tan fascinante como el filme. Todo empezó con un borrador de 14 páginas de Ben Mezrich para su libro Multimillonarios por accidente. Cuando Sorkin lo leyó, no vio simplemente códigos de programación; vio una tragedia griega en un campus de la Ivy League. Escribió el guion con una velocidad vertiginosa, pero el rodaje fue otra historia. David Fincher, fiel a su perfeccionismo casi patológico, obligó a los actores a repetir escenas decenas de veces. La secuencia inicial en el bar tomó 99 tomas para que ese ritmo de ametralladora sonara natural. Pero hay más: ¿sabían que Andrew Garfield tuvo que destruir su computadora en una escena tantas veces que terminó exhausto, o que Armie Hammer tuvo que trabajar con un doble de cuerpo y un riguroso sistema de CGI para interpretar a ambos gemelos Winklevoss? Incluso se dice que Fincher prohibió a los actores conocer a sus contrapartes reales antes del rodaje para no "contaminar" la visión ácida de Sorkin.La sinopsis parece sencilla: un joven brillante pero socialmente torpe crea una plataforma que cambia el mundo, solo para terminar demandado por su mejor amigo y por unos gemelos olímpicos que parecen sacados de un catálogo de Ralph Lauren. Pero bajo la superficie, es una historia sobre la traición y la paradoja de conectar al mundo mientras te quedas irremediablemente solo. Todo esto, envuelto en la banda sonora de Trent Reznor y Atticus Ross, que suena a ansiedad digital y marcó un antes y un después en el drama moderno.En taquilla, la película fue un fenómeno inusual. Con un presupuesto de unos 40 millones de dólares, logró recaudar más de 224 millones a nivel mundial, demostrando que un drama basado puramente en diálogos inteligentes podía ser un blockbuster. No solo ganó tres premios Oscar (Guion, Montaje y Música), sino que arrasó en los Globos de Oro llevándose Mejor Película Drama y Mejor Director, además de recibir el aplauso unánime de la Crítica de Cine de Nueva York y la National Board of Review.La reacción de los involucrados fue el toque final de ironía. Mark Zuckerberg intentó restarle importancia diciendo que el vestuario era lo único que habían clavado, aunque admitió que la experiencia fue "interesante". Eduardo Saverin fue más diplomático, y los Winklevoss... bueno, ellos simplemente se alegraron de que alguien los hiciera ver como personajes de una película de Fincher.“La Red Social” no solo consolidó el estilo de Sorkin, sino que cambió cómo Hollywood aborda los biopics: menos hagiografía y más autopsia psicológica. Hoy vamos a sumergirnos en su historia, sus actuaciones, su dirección, su música y, por supuesto, ese guion donde las palabras son armas de precisión.Preparen su café (o su Martini de manzana), que empezamos.Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbas⁠Correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.com No 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 ⁠#DavidFincher⁠ ⁠#Cine⁠ ⁠#Facebook #LaRedSocial

This week on The Ana Cruz Show, I'm joined by Dr. Mark Fincher, Associate Professor at Mississippi State University and founder of International Men's Day of Mississippi, to discuss the growing crisis facing young men. Male college enrollment is declining, dropout rates are rising, and the impact goes far beyond education. We explore the link between academic disengagement, depression, substance abuse, suicide, and the broader masculinity crisis shaping today's youth. This conversation isn't about choosing men over women — it's about making sure we don't leave our boys behind while continuing to fight for equality and opportunity for all.

"The Girl with the Failed February Franchises" concludes with our look at 2018's The Girl in the Spider's Web. Even though the previous film hadn't made as much as Sony had hoped for, it still earned Rooney Mara an Oscar nomination, received critical acclaim, and the entire creative team was down to return for more. So, of course the thing to do is...ignore all that and instead hire a new director and cast to jump ahead to the fourth book (the first not written by series creator Stieg Larsson) and try to reboot the franchise with a much smaller budget. How did that work out for them? Well, we're covering it here, so, you know. Still, we're here to give it a fair shot, discussing whether horror director Fede Alvarez was the right choice to replace Fincher, if Claire Foy is a worthy Lisbeth Salander, and if the movie's global-stakes espionage thriller vibes truly feels appropriate for the overall franchise and character.

David Fincher's classic Se7en seems like a film that we should have done years ago.  In the wake of some rumblings of a Fincher directed Netflix Se7en series, we decided it was timely to go back to the 90's for this groundbreaking crime horror movie with solid performances turned in my Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt set in a dreary nameless city.   Intro:                   “Necromaniacs” – Mike Hill Outro:                “Funeral of Existence”– Mayhem

Wanting to talk about this film for years, Hurdy Gurdy Men Josh and Andrew sing their songs of love for David Fincher's serial-killer thriller Zodiac. Falling down the numerous rabbit holes Fincher provides in his retelling of the unsolved investigation, our hosts work to solve how Zodiac works its addictive magic. Grab an Aqua Velva and unravel the mysteries surrounding this chilling piece of true crime, such as what exactly constitutes a comfort movie, which actor should stay human in a muppet-led version, and where the hell did Jim Emerson go?Next, Josh and Andrew have One More Thing, serving up Cocktails with George and Martha, Phillip Gefter's dishy making-of tome on Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and Sofia Coppola's underrated father-daughter drama Somewhere (also shot by the same DP as Zodiac).

In 2005 (and 2008 for the American translation), the posthumous release of Swedish author Stieg Larsson's "Millennium Trilogy" took the world by storm. A series of Swedish cinematic adaptations soon followed, making even bigger pop culture icons of the characters of Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist, and Lisbeth Salander, the punk computer hacker with a mysterious past. And then, Hollywood decided to take their crack at it...not once, but twice. And we're investigating both, with our "The Girl with the Failed February Franchises" theme month! First, a look at 2011's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Directed by David Fincher and starring Daniel Craig as Blomkvist and Rooney Mara as Salander, the American adaptation was seen by some as a more prestigious adaptation of the first book in Larsson's series; a surefire awards contender and franchise starter. But was it released too soon after the Swedish films? Was its subject matter actually too dark for American audiences, especially given its Christmas release? We explore these questions and more, including how the film rates as part of Fincher's overall filmography, and what it meant for his career moving forward.

Phillip and Eric finally wrap their rewatch/commentary on David Fincher's adaptation of The Killer graphic novel. They discuss the eponymous character's subtle character arc, Fincher's meticulous style of filmmaking, and Eric asks Phillip to explain K-Pop Demon Hunters to him.

This is a preview of a premium episode from our Patreon feed, Paid Costly For Me! Head over to Patreon.com/PodCastyForMe to hear more for just $5 a month. Most movies weren't directed by Steven Soderbergh, but few were as notably not directed by Steven Soderbergh as this one: MONEYBALL, the true story of the 2002 Oakland Athletics' revolutionary sabermetrics-based hiring strategy, was 5 days from shooting when Sony pulled the plug on Soderbergh's version. After a rewrite by Aaron Sorkin and a few cast change-ups, a slicker, Fincher-lite version directed by Bennett Miller made it to theaters, and we're talking about the whole deal. This ep has it all, quite frankly: in-depth script revision analysis, baseball talk, sports politics, and a long conversation about how statistics and "disruption" inform the world. It turns out everything is Moneyball, maybe? Give this one a listen, folks. As always, thanks to Jetski for our theme music and to Jeremy Allison for our artwork.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of January 9th Publish Date: January 9th   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, January 9th and Happy Birthday to Jimmy Page I’m Chris Culwell and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Fincher wins runoff for Cherokee County’s state House seat Farm Bureau seeks entries for High School Art Contest Georgia Republicans move to scrap state income tax by 2032 despite concerns Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on saturated fats We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: INGLES 10 STORY 1: Fincher wins runoff for Cherokee County’s state House seat Republican Bill Fincher is poised to take the Georgia House District 23 seat, according to unofficial results. With all precincts reporting by 8:57 p.m. Tuesday, Fincher secured 71.38% of the vote—4,345 ballots—against Democrat Scott Sanders, who pulled in 1,742 votes. Fincher, a retired assistant DA and RV park owner, thanked supporters on Facebook: “To everyone who voted, knocked doors, prayed, or just believed—thank you. I’m humbled and ready to get to work.” Sanders, meanwhile, called his campaign a success, saying, “We hit every goal and laid the groundwork for 2026. No more uncontested elections.” The seat, left vacant after Rep. Mandi Ballinger’s passing, saw six candidates in the Dec. 9 special election. Fincher and Sanders advanced to the runoff. Turnout was low—just 13.75%—with most votes cast on Election Day. Results will be certified Friday after the elections board reviews one provisional ballot. STORY 2: Farm Bureau seeks entries for High School Art Contest Hey, high school artists—this one’s for you! The 2026 Georgia Farm Bureau High School Art Contest is here, and there’s cash on the line. The state winner gets $250, and 10 district winners snag $100 each. Not bad, right? It’s open to all 9th–12th graders (public, private, or homeschool). The rules? Create your masterpiece on 8.5 x 11-inch white paper using black, white, and gray. Use whatever works—charcoal, graphite, pen, chalk, mixed media, you name it. Just one entry per person, though. Deadline? Feb. 6. Drop your entry at the Cherokee County Farm Bureau office. Questions? Call 770-479-1481. Let’s see what you’ve got! STORY 3: Georgia Republicans move to scrap state income tax by 2032 despite concerns  Cutting state income taxes sounds great, right? But here’s the catch: how do you replace billions in lost revenue without gutting schools, health care, or public safety—or jacking up other taxes? That’s the question Georgia Republicans are wrestling with as they push to eliminate the state’s personal income tax by 2032. Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, eyeing the governor’s mansion in 2026, is leading the charge, with State Sen. Blake Tillery backing him up. Their plan? Start by exempting the first $50,000 of income for singles ($100,000 for couples) in 2027. Sounds nice, but it’d cost the state $3.8 billion in year one alone. Tillery says they’ll cover it with surplus funds and borrowing for infrastructure, but critics—Democrats and even some Republicans—aren’t sold. For now, the debate rages on. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.    We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 1 STORY 4: Prep Roundup: Hamby, Bass have record-setting nights Creekview’s Kailyn Hamby had a night to remember, shattering both the single-game and all-time scoring records as the Grizzlies rolled past Sprayberry, 62-35. Hamby dropped 33 points, grabbed six boards, and helped Creekview climb to 13-1 overall and 4-0 in Region 6AAAAA. They’re now neck-and-neck with River Ridge for the top spot. Next up? A Friday showdown at Pope. Meanwhile, River Ridge stayed unbeaten in region play, edging Pope 70-60 behind Finley Parker’s 28 points and Makayla Roberson’s 25. Elsewhere, North Paulding handled Etowah 56-46, and Sequoyah crushed Woodstock 78-50 with a dominant third-quarter run. Cherokee also outlasted Wheeler, 41-34. PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Will Rajecki. If you’ve followed Cherokee County football these past few years, you know the name. It’s only fitting he caps off his high school career as the 2025 Cherokee County Offensive Player of the Year. Records? He smashed them. Flashy stats? Oh, plenty. Rajecki was the heart of Sequoyah’s offense, leading the Chiefs to their first region title since 2003 and back-to-back state quarterfinals for the first time ever. The numbers are wild: 4,049 career rushing yards (a school record), 66 all-purpose touchdowns, and a jaw-dropping seven-touchdown game against Sprayberry that landed him third in state history. This season alone, he racked up 1,974 rushing yards, 30 touchdowns, and helped Sequoyah to a 35-14 record over his four varsity years. Now? He’s weighing offers from Arkansas, Oregon State, and Georgia after decommitting from Memphis. Wherever he lands, one thing’s clear: Rajecki’s story is just getting started. STORY 5: Cagle names appointee to Cherokee County T-SPLOST committee  Cherokee County just named the first three members of its new T-SPLOST Citizens Review Committee, a group tasked with keeping an eye on how the county spends its transportation sales tax dollars. On Tuesday, Commissioner Will Cagle appointed Jack Norton, a Canton resident, Marine Corps vet, and small business owner with a background in transportation. Norton joins Ashley Holcomb, appointed by Chairman Harry Johnston, and Tom Teague, chosen by Commissioner Benny Carter. Two spots are still open, but Johnston isn’t worried. The 1% T-SPLOST, approved by voters in November, kicks off April 1 and is expected to bring in $445 million over six years. The committee’s job? Make sure the funds are spent responsibly and projects stay on track. They’ll review reports, offer recommendations, and keep the public informed—but they can’t change the project list. Meetings will be open to the public, with the 2026 schedule set at the first session.

Eric finally gets Phillip to watch the Netflix adaptation of The Killer graphic novel, directed by David Fincher. They discuss its capture of the introspective spirit of the comic, Fincher's directorial style making him a great fit for the graphic novel, and twenty minutes about Gang of London season 3, Avengers: Doomsday teasers, and the kidnapping presidents abroad.

Considering most of the episodes now from the previous three seasons are under paywall, the first episode of the New Year simply has to be excellent. It's what listeners throughout the year probably will listen to first, and thankfully, I found a guest that absolutely exceeds any expectation a listener might have when they click play: director Robert Kolodny of THE FEATHERWEIGHT (2023).If you google Criterion Collection, Robert's name, and Reddit, you'll get the comment I reference here about how he's going to be a "GOAT filmmaker in a couple of years, up there with Scorsese, Anderson, Fincher. Just watch."I didn't write it, but I wish I had.In this episode, Robert and I discuss:the obsession of what's next, from filmmaking to college football, and what that means for directors;how he got his start and his incredible preparation work of watching films for his craft;how he watches other films and his thoughts on film criticism;what he learned on his 14 year path from cinematography to directing his first feature;what he's looking for in terms of working on a project;the genesis of THE FEATHERWEIGHT and what people should expect to watch;how he came up with the style of the faux documentary for the film;the invented crew members for the film to help the actors;why there are so many siblings in independent films;whether indie filmmakers can go too far in pretentiousness;if THE FEATHERWEIGHT felt like a documentary while filming and his thoughts on the genre;AI in indie films;the incredible score in THE FEATHERWEIGHT and why the music was so important for the film;the casting process and the BAND OF BROTHERS (2001) connection;the underrated nature of this film;what he'd do differently for the release strategy of the film;what's next for him.Robert's Indie Film Highlights: PREDATORS (2025) dir. by David Osit; ZODIAC KILLER PROJECT (2025) dir. by Charlie Shackleton; EEPHUS (2024) dir. by Carson Lund; PETER HUJAR'S DAY (2025) dir. by Ira SachsMemorable Quotes:"My philosophy has always been, in order to be a filmmaker, you have to be a working filmmaker. Now that doesn't just mean being a technician, but it does mean putting the hours in and looking at what contemporary cinema is and trying to be attached to it in as many meaningful ways as possible.""I've been incredibly privileged that there's never really been a time in my life where I did not know this is what I wanted to do.""I keep...a very extensive spreadsheet...it's December 11th that we're recording this. I have watched 362 movies in the year 2025 so far. And I'll probably get up to 380.""Will it be able to...hold the amount of prestige that I am attributing to it? That I believe that it deserves. You're like a parent waiting for your kid to get into college.""Do I think that some kind of digital actor is gonna give a better performance than a real actor? I would rather boil myself in a pot of soup than even consider such a ridiculous question.""There's a ton of music in the film but most of it is hidden. I could see people watching the film and being like there's just that one song at the end, which is not true." Why the music was so important to him: "It's partially because I'm an insane person. And partially because, you're working in a period piece, right? The film takes place in 1964 and then intermittently in 1941. And if we're going to sell the idea of this is a documentary that was made half a century ago, how are we gonna stand up and believe in that?""The originator of the idea of making this movie about Willie Pep was James Madio.""Despite people being like, oh, there's no good movies out. That's a fucking lie."Links:Follow Robert On InstagramWatch THE FEATHERWEIGHT On MubiSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

On Episode 142 of The Film ‘89 Podcast, Neil, Skye and regular co-host, Jacob Rivera are celebrating the 30th anniversary of an all time classic from 1995, David Fincher's serial killer thriller, Seven, starring Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey. Based on an original screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker, Seven would go on to become one of the most successful films of 1995, a year replete with incredible films and this one in particular, is now considered a genre defining classic, notorious for it's bleak tone and THAT gut-punch ending. Featuring phenomenal performances from its leads, stunning cinematography, a wonderfully atmospheric score, and the very epitome of assured, precise direction from Fincher, Seven is surely one of the greatest films of all time and one worthy of the deluxe Film '89 treatment.

Tonight we're summoning The Empty Man — a film that bombed on release but found a cult following among horror fans who crave something stranger, slower, and smarter.We talk about why The Empty Man was marketed like a teen creepypasta movie but is actually a cosmic horror detective story about grief, faith, and identity. With echoes of Fincher, Carpenter, and Lovecraft, this might just be one of the most underrated horror films of the 2020s.#TheEmptyMan #HorrorPodcast #CleanSlatePodcast #CosmicHorror #UnderratedHorror #31NightsOfHalloween #MoviePodcast

This week on Totally 80's and 90's Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt dive deep into the dark, rain-soaked world of 1995's Se7en — David Fincher's gritty psychological thriller that had audiences whispering “What's in the box?!” for decades. Starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman as detectives hunting a serial killer who uses the seven deadly sins as inspiration for his gruesome crimes, Se7en defined the decade's darker turn in filmmaking. With its grim atmosphere, haunting visuals, and shocking finale, it remains one of the most disturbing — and influential — movies of the '90s. But the big question is: does Se7en still hold up today? Dave will weigh in on whether the story's tension and moral questions still grip audiences like they did in '95, while Rob dissects the film's visual style and how Fincher's signature bleakness set the stage for modern thrillers. Meanwhile, Kurt — always the voice of psychological insight — will explore whether the film's twisted themes make it timeless or just plain creepy in hindsight. Together, the trio will decide if Se7en deserves a spot among the decade's masterpieces or if it's better left sealed in that infamous box.

Happy 30th birthday to David Fincher's Seven (1995). Joining us to celebrate is special guest Adam Nayman, Toronto-based critic, lecturer, and author of, among other books, David Fincher: Mind Games (2021). We get into: boy movies, the intersections of art and trash, Fincher as mad designer and marketing guru, Veronica can't do math, canceling Det. Mills, how a spark of ambiguity can incite a book-length study, the undersung editing of Richard Francis-Bruce, the undersung producing prowess of Michael De Luca, what is and is not in the box, and more.References: Tony Zhou on David Fincher (“And the Other Way is Wrong”), Richard Dyer's BFI book for Seven, and of course, Adam's terrific book on Fincher, Mind Games, from Little White Lies/Abrams Books.The Bright Wall/Dark Room Podcast is co-hosted by Veronica Fitzpatrick and Chad Perman, and produced by Eli Sands.

Send us a textJono Matt is BACK to get us started for our annual “Spooky Season,” here on the program! We're getting it started with our lust for discussing his choice “SE7EN,” (d. Fincher 1995) Starring: Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, and Gwyneth Paltrow.  At times we have a lot of pride in our loud opinions of this movie, at others we become gluttons for information. You may yourself envying the fun we have in this deep dive on the Andrew Kevin Walker written thriller, and greedy for even more by the end! And that's understandable, but please keep your wrath to a minimum. Just relax, lie down, and give into the soothing relaxation provided to you by The Review Review, and don't do a single thing. 9/30!**All episodes contain explicit language**Artwork - Ben McFaddenReview Review Intro/Outro Theme - Jamie Henwood"What Are We Watching" & "Whatcha been up to?"

“You don't get to nearly 300 episodes without making a few enemies.” Join Ian, Liam & Kev for our 298th episode as we log on, code furiously, and sue each other over The Social Network (2010). Megs? She's not with us this week—she's in “Facebook jail” for excessive poking (it was bound to happen). We're carrying around a chicken for a week in our 298th episode as we discuss: Our best day for downloads ever—and it's not even close. Our trip to an award show (well… kind of). A new Patreon joins the fold—proof we're building our very own social network. Just how much credit should the money man get vs the idea man? What is it that makes Aaron Sorkin's writing so great—and why does this film feel like it moves at the speed of thought? What's the one part we think the film gets wrong? Does the absence of errors make a film a masterpiece—or does it need a few rough edges to feel human? Jesse Eisenberg as Zuckerberg: sympathetic genius or socially awkward supervillain? Fincher's precision—how much of the film's impact comes from direction versus dialogue? And finally, whether The Social Network is the Best Film Ever—or just the sharpest film of the 2010s.
