Join us each week as we talk about a different Fincher film!
On part 9 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit Fincher's most recent film, the 2014 psychological mystery thriller, based on the best-selling Gillian Flynn novel of the same name, GONE GIRL. Starring Ben Affleck as Nick Dunne, a writing teacher at a local college, and Rosamund Pike as Nick's wife, Amy, GONE GIRL embarks as a story to solve the mystery of Amy's sudden disappearance on hers and Nick's 5th wedding anniversary. However, as the investigation into her disappearance progresses, Nick becomes a prime suspect in the eyes of their local Missouri town and in the eyes of Detective Rhonda Boney (Kim Dickens). Nick and his sister, Margo (Carrie Coon), attempt to prove Nick's innocence, but as the context of Amy's disappearance becomes clearer, it is apparent that something quite suspicious indeed was going on in the days, weeks, months, and even years leading up to her disappearance, as the first half of Fincher's and Flynn's story unfolds with dueling narratives: one in the present from Nick's perspective after Amy's disappearance is discovered and the other in the past from Amy's perspective, telling the story of Nick and Amy's relationship. The countdown trio give their thoughts on the two lead performances from Affleck and Pike, the quality of the supporting cast, how compelling the plot and the narrative is, and whether the film may go too far in certain departments for some podcast members' likings.

Join us each week as we talk about a different Fincher film!
On part 8 of the countdown, Scott, Scott, and Jay revisit the penultimate film in the countdown, the 2011 psychological crime thriller, based on the best-selling Swedish novel of the same name, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. Starring Rooney Mara as the titular computer-hacking girl with the dragon tattoo, Lisbeth Salander, and Daniel Craig as disgraced journalist, Mikael Blomqvist, hired by Christopher Plummer's, Henrik Vanger, an aging wealthy businessman who is haunted by his niece's disappearance from 40 years prior. The film opens with Blomqvist's conviction for libel against business magnate, Hans-Erik Wennerström, leaving his journalistic reputation and career in ruins. Soon after, Vanger hires Blomqvist as a final attempt to solve the mystery of his missing niece, Harriet, who disappeared from the remote Swedish island of their estate 40 years before the events of the film. As a part of this investigation, Blomqvist eventually must enlist the support of the mysterious computer-hacking woman, Salander, who (illegally) ran a background check on Blomqvist before Vanger hired him. However, Salander has (many) problems of her own, and ultimately both Blomqvist and Salander need each other to solve the mystery of Harriet Vanger's disappearance and to navigate a world bent on ostracizing and exploiting people like Salander. The countdown trio give their thoughts on Mara's eccentric performance, the mystery plot's effectiveness in telling an engrossing tale, and whether the themes of the violence against and exploitation of women are effective.
