“This is Because You Watched… and it's ending one minute at a time.”
Join Francesco and Charlie as they crawl into the toxic arena that is hypermasculinity. Joined by Antonia Strafford-Taylor, they will discuss the landmark thriller Fight Club (dir. David Fincher, 1999), discussing what the film is really saying as well as its misguided cultural legacy.
From there they will discuss the French Israeli immigration drama, Synonyms (dir. Nadav Lapid, 2019), classic rugged film noir, The Hitch-Hiker (dir. Ida Lupino, 1953), and finally the bonkers Elvis versus mummy creature feature Bubba Ho-Tep (dir. Don Coscarelli, 2002).
And the rule is: if this is your first time on the podcast, you have to listen all the way through.
