This week, we’re joined by Gone Girl expert Brendan Leonard to discuss David Fincher’s late triumph, the adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s satirical thriller about marriage, True Crime, and celebrity. How important are the stars to the movie’s success? Is this one of the most feminist films in recent memory, or the exact opposite of that? Is the ending miserable or optimistic? What is marriage, but a fraud foisted upon the rest of the world? Does this do the wildly popular book justice as an adaptation? All this and quite a bit more in this episode, on the film Fincher himself describes as ‘the story of a stupid guy and his crazy wife.’
