The Every Movie Ever! Podcast

We've gotta take a break from the usual weekly format to have a much needed clearing of the air between each other, a word with ourselves and some news for you, our dearest regular listeners.

New listener? We love that you're here, but maybe circle back to this one after checking out one of the many excellent films in our catalogue. We wanna sit with the regulars for a sec.

We discuss the making of the show, how it used to be, how it is now, and the ways in which so much has changed for us as we've grown. Different from what you were expecting this week I'm sure, but necessary. We love ya.

Panic Room (2002): The Secrets of David Fincher's Most Ignored Movie Masterpiece

2 Recommendations

Ben and Rob lock themselves into ‘Panic Room’, David Fincher’s box-office sensation starring Jodie Foster, Kristen Stewart, Forest Whitaker and Jared Leto. Mother and daughter duo Meg and Sarah are forced to hide in a panic room in their house when intruders break in; unfortunately for them, the intruders want something that is hidden inside the room and will stop at nothing to claim it. This film allowed Fincher to calm studios fears in his financial reliability after the box-office failure of ‘Fight Club’ whilst flexing his muscles as a technical master behind the camera.

So with everything planned to perfection for this single location movie, why did this movie end up taking nearly three years to finish? Is Jodie Foster so excellent that she is always unrelatable? Are Forest Whitaker’s roles racist typecasting? And can Ben finally let go of the chip on his shoulder surrounding rich people as protagonists!?

Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr, Fincher’s ‘Zodiac’ is a long, uncompromising film beloved by critics but widely ignored by audiences upon its release in 2007.

But is this the most painfully personal movie in David Fincher’s whole filmography? What drove Robert Downey Jr to compare working with Fincher to Soviet prison camps? Which scene in this darkest of movies is the one that most upset Ben? And has starting a Patreon butchered the usual 60 minute show available for free?
