Discover the highs and lows of the 2014 film Pawn Sacrifice in this deep dive episode of Zwick's Flicks: The Ed Zwick Podcast. Ryan and guest host Craig revisit the story of chess legend Bobby Fischer and debate the film’s key elements, including Tobey Maguire's polarizing performance, Ed Zwick's directorial choices, and the incredible supporting cast. From Fischer's paranoia to the Cold War chess championship, we discuss what worked, what missed, and what could have made the movie a classic.
