"You don't know your own wife's blood type?"

Gillian Flynn and David Fincher are in the cross-hairs when we discuss Gone Girl. Please excuse Matt's nasally baritone, he contracted the novel coronavirus for a second time before recording this episode.

Topics include the original title of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, what constitutes a good date movie, criticism levied against Gillian Flynn, male characters written by women/female characters written by men, how we the people love to hate Ben Affleck, David Fincher's mythic rise to the director's chair and his Kubrickian reputation for needing 100 takes per scene, the phenomenal casting in Gone Girl, and whether or not the twist in Fight Club is fair.
