We can’t offer you a legally binding podcast. It won’t hold up in the state, the county, or frankly, any courtroom in the world, due to age, lack of a license, and failure to get parental consent. But this ritual does carry a very important moral weight within yourselves. You can’t enter into the contract lightly. Look into our eyes. Do you love Direct?

Our time with Fincher has come to a close. What a wonderful filmography. Well done, sir. See you in November! Let us know who you’d like us to cover next at our Direct Forum. Join the conversation: Leave us a Review | directpodcast@gmail.com

We broke the rules! We’re bringing you bonus Fincher coverage from the first two episodes of House of Cards. Fincher’s ground-breaking streaming television series brings the same tension as his cinematic pursuits to the small screen. It contains many Fincher-isms, call backs to his films, and an epic foreshadowing scene. Entertaining stuff. Join us next week for our David Fincher epilogue.

Gone Girl is three movies in one. At one point, it’s a mystery. Then, it turns into a thriller. Then, a melodrama. But what really makes this movie is its masterful villain. Gone Girl has one of the best antagonists caught on film. The movie is able to take a fantastical plot and ground it in cold, comfortable, plodding dread. It is a testament to the quality that Fincher demands of his work. Bravo. Disclaimer: Sorry about the audio quality on this one, folks. Eric’s mic situation was unexpected and not ideal. We promise to do better next week. Join us next week for the first two episodes of House of Cards Join the conversation: Leave us a Review | House of Cards forum | directpodcast@gmail.com

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a compelling, affecting thriller on par with Season 1 of True Detective and carried by an amazing character performance by Rooney Mara. It’s another impressive bundle of Fincher-isms arranged in a new and enthralling way. Incredible stuff. Join us next week for Gone Girl.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a warm, fuzzy Forest-Gumpian tale of a deadbeat dad and his deadbeat dad son. Fincher’s take on this (very loose) F. Scott Fitzgerald adaptation is a departure of sorts from his thriller-tinged canon thus far. This is Fincher at his most romantic, and even still he manages to inject action, humor and slick, stylized camera work into the mix. It’s a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Panic Room is a balanced thriller with great pacing, excellent characters, and top-notch performances. It’s a movie that puts you in a big house and makes it feel claustrophobic. Fincher continues with his “making the big feel small” theme and delivers a beautify, clippy experience. It’s a fun watch. Join us next week for Zodiac.

Fight Club. It is a big-time interesting cinematic experience that will keep your mind spinning. Fincher goes back to the mind-f*** well and this one’s a doozy. What’s real? What’s admirable? What’s B.S.? This movie could be torn apart, theorized and opined upon for hours, but we only have one. Give it a listen and give us your take. Join use next week for Panic Room.

The Game is a twisty-turney, paranoid ride through a Wonderland world. Trust no one. Ultimately the film is undoubtedly entertaining, and undoubtedly Fincher, but how do the pieces ultimately come together? Is this a game for the ages, or a contest to forget? Probably somewhere in the middle. Join use next week for Fight Club. Join the conversation: Leave us a Review | FIght Club Forum | directpodcast@gmail.com Support Bald Move: Amazon | Club Bald Move
