  • The Killer (2023): The Last We'll See Of Our David Fincher Series.... For Now!
    Feb 2 2025

    SOCIALS

    Ben and Rob hire ‘The Killer’ to finish off their series covering every David Fincher movie EVER! Starring Michael Fassbender, Tilda Swinton and Charles Parnell, ‘The Killer’ was released and funded by Netflix as part of the directors ongoing deal with the streaming platform, and follows an assassin dealing with the fallout of a job gone wrong.

    Released to fair reviews but widely considered a weaker entry in Fincher’s filmography, ‘The Killer’ was nonetheless praised for its stellar performances and gritty action - when it had it. But what is this film really about? Why does the Killer’s face twitch like that at the very end of the film? Who is Felix Unger? And why has Ben become so obsessed with salamanders all of a sudden?

  • Mank (2020): The Greatest David Fincher Film You Probably Haven't Seen
    Jan 26 2025

    Ben and Rob meet ‘Mank’; David Fincher’s first movie project for Netflix. Starring Gary Oldman, Amanda Seyfried and Charles Dance, this film is rarely mentioned in conversations about Fincher’s greatest films. Yet our hosts, approaching it with sheer dread, make the case that this is Fincher’s most slept-on masterpiece. Gorgeous visuals, masterful performances and an unbelievable soundtrack combine to create the best film you’ve probably never watched.

    But is this tale of a cynical and disillusioned writer more personal of a story to Fincher than we know? Is Gary Oldman the perfect actor? Who really wrote ‘Citizen Kane’, often heralded as ‘The Greatest Movie Of All Time’? And has Rob done something unforgivable with Ben’s meat?

  • Citizen Kane (1941): NOT The Greatest Film Of All Time?! Hear Us Out...
    Jan 19 2025

    Ben & Rob ask ‘Citizen Kane’ if he has anything relevant to say to us in the year 2025, or whether it’s time to throw this Rosebud on the fire of progress. Released in 1941, ‘Citizen Kane’ is widely regarded by a certain type of film fan as ‘The Greatest Movie Of All Time’; pioneering cinematic and storytelling techniques still in use today. Its director and star Orson Welles denied it being based on famed newspaper mogul W Randolph Hearst, denied the co-writer his due credit and even denied the film deserved the praise it still receives to this day.

    But over 80 years since its release, what could there possibly be left to talk about ‘Citizen Kane’? Does it offer insight into our contemporary lives or should we just marvel at its many ‘firsts’ for the art of filmmaking? And is Ben secretly a budding billionaire?
