Shownotes

The sixth episode of our season on the awesome movie year of 1999 features Josh’s personal pick, David Fincher’s Fight Club. Directed by David Fincher from a screenplay by Jim Uhls (based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk) and starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter and Meat Loaf, Fight Club was a commercial and critical disappointment but has since become a cult classic.

The contemporary reviews quoted in this episode come from Roger Ebert (https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/fight-club-1999), Janet Maslin in The New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/1999/10/15/movies/film-review-such-a-very-long-way-from-duvets-to-danger.html), and David Ansen in Newsweek (https://www.newsweek.com/fistful-darkness-168314).

Please like, share, rate and comment on the show and this episode, and tune in for the next 1999 installment, featuring our foreign film pick, Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run.
