Fight Club is a 25 year old movie that still has a lot to say, so we had a lot to say about it, too! We pick up where we left off from part one, and dive into the recap of the movie. We talk about themes of masculinity vs. femininity, decay and destruction, how the movie is relevant today, and why the Olsen Twins and Jigsaw are very relevant to Fight Club.
Make sure you listen to part one first for Heather's preconceptions about the movie, and for our initial thoughts and reactions.
