We are finally coming back (again) to talk Sofia Coppola. She has actually created two (!) more films since we last talked.

First, ON THE ROCKS, which features more of Bill Murray running from the police than we like. But, like, it also has Rashida Jones. So, basically all is forgiven. Except if you even think of cheating on Rashida, then you're dead to us.

And then, we get to the critical darling PRISCILLA. How long can we hang out in a house and be sad? Too long maybe.

But hey, we still think Sofia should be given almost a blank check for whatever she wants to do.

Enjoy!

Remember how we said goodbye? Welllllll, not so fast. Just a few short years later, we have returned to work, just like David Fincher. To celebrate the non theatrical release of this film, your favorite duo has returned to talk about it!

Let's talk obsession, contract killers, and sexy Tilda Swinton!

Well folks, this is how we say goodbye. Kind of. Yes, we are done with David Fincher and we are done with A Podcast Directed by. But good news, we are starting a brand new podcast called Off Screen Death. Link provided below.

But before all that, we talk a grimy, almost trashy double feature. We finish off our talk of pincher with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Gone Girl. One of these is an underrated Fincher in Dave’s opinion and the other is Gone Girl, obviously an accepted classic

Stay tuned at the end for, among other things, a discussion of our new podcast, a Fincher hot take from Dave, and Mike’s usual female empowerment. Enjoy!

We finally return to the greatness of David Fincher with THE SOCIAL NETWORK! We talk about nerd jealousy, sex on cinema, and even sprinkle in some current events. Mike is uncomfortable but we push our way through one of the best of the last decade. Join us!

And finally we come to the episode that, for some reason, Dave has been looking forward to. We finally watch THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON!

Your hosts talk about all manner of things. Included here are deciding when to have sex with Brad Pitt, how good-looking Brad Pitt is, Fincher’s willingness to cast unexpected people as tattooed artists, and our own age and regret.

Join us as we go backwards in time, lying to ourselves about how great we once were.

Ok. Deep breath. Time to talk about David Fincher's best movie. We have arrived at ZODIAC. We take it mostly seriously. That is, until Mike compares the killer's notes to Dungeons and Dragons and we basically admit we both would have shot Arthur Leigh Allen in cold blood...

But other than that, this episode is a lovefest for our "prickly asshole" of a director. Listen in as we talk true crime, procedurals, and obsession.

Merry Christmas everybody, we have a gift for you. We will start with David Fincher’s movie from one of the best years in cinema history. If you want more of that year, check out Mike’s other podcast 99 From 99! But. Yes, FIGHT CLUB! A movie that spawned idiots on every side, but still is worthy of actual measured discussion. We talk humor, disturbing line readings from Helena Bonham Carter and just how fucking cool Brad Pitt is, both in this movie and in general. We also discuss whether or not a movie with a twist can hold up 20 years later. So check and see if Dave is once again thinking too much and how this movie would be talked about on Twitter (please, god no).

Next, we move on to the redheaded stepchild of David Fincher’s filmography, PANIC ROOM. Listen as Mike talks about Nicole Kidman’s wingspan (trust us, there is a point to this) and we both laud the performance of Dwight Yoakam as the wildcard of the crew. Listen in as we insult general audiences and congratulate millionaire directors. Which, honestly, is the perfect encapsulation of this entire podcast.

Yes, we have returned to cover David Fincher movies that Mike likes!

First, we take a look at SE7EN, a movie where Fincher finds his muse and Mike finds his idol. Dave, on the other hand, is just concerned about Mr. Pitt's broken arm.

Then we move on to a strange Christmas movie in THE GAME. Here, we find out that Michael Douglas is a pig, but we like him anyway!
