Listen now
Description
Tim and Tay are once again joined by James Stacey (The Grey Nato) to talk about our first David Fincher pick for our potlucks: Se7en. We discuss the movie that launched Fincher's film career in proper, how it stands as a unique work of its time, and who we'd cast as an alternate Mills and Somerset. Synopsis A veteran detective partners with a rookie to take on one last case before he retires, hunting a serial killer of unparalleled commitment and barbarism. Starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, and directed by David Fincher, Se7en was released on Sept. 22, 1995. Where to watch Se7en. Tim's Scene [47:58 - 56:20] Following a lead from fingerprints left at the Greed crime scene, the detectives and a SWAT team enter a potential suspect’s home to find yet another victim in the series of crimes. James' Scene [1:14:56 - 1:23:45] Mills and Somerset investigate John Doe's apartment, gaining their first direct look into his methods, habits, and state of mind. Tay's Scene  [1:08:02 - 1:14:45] Mills and Somerset pessimistically arrive at the apartment of John Doe based on a far-reaching lead from an FBI source. The man in question gets the jump on them, arriving as they knock on his door, initiating a dark, tantalizing chase through the dingy apartment complex.
