SSC 60: Fight Club (Fincher, 1999) w/ Bunny Stephenson

Tim and Tay are joined by Bunny Stephenson (Instagram / Letterboxd) to talk about our second David Fincher pick for our potlucks: Fight Club. We discuss the movie's exquisite portrayal of brutal violence, its not-so-subtle homoeroticism, and the reception of this satirical take on '90s  men's existential crisis.

Synopsis
A depressed man’s life is changed after he meets a charming and inspiring anarchist that shows him a life beyond the materialistic world.

Starring Ed Norton & Brad Pitt, and directed by David Fincher, Fight Club was released Oct. 15, 1999.
