This week on The WatchTower Film Podcast, we take a perfectly centered dive into The Phoenician Scheme, the newest pastel-drenched mystery from Wes Anderson. It’s got spies, sand dunes, surreal subplots—and yes, plenty of deadpan dialogue delivered with unnerving precision.

Join us as we untangle the plot (kind of), obsess over symmetrical shots, and debate whether this is peak Wes or just another charming fever dream in corduroy.

Grab your typewriter, adjust your bowtie, and tune in—it’s going to get delightfully convoluted.

We’re kicking off our 5-month Auteur Series on The WatchTower Film Podcast, and first up is none other than David Fincher. What better way to start than with Fight Club—a stylish, brutal, and endlessly debated classic that made soap cool and toxic masculinity cinematic.

This week, we dig into Fincher’s meticulous direction, the film’s subversive themes, and whether Fight Club is misunderstood brilliance or dangerously cool chaos. Narrators, nihilism, and name-dropping IKEA—we’re not pulling punches.

First rule of Fincher Month? You absolutely talk about it.

Light up (metaphorically), lean back, and get a little reckless with us.
