What's in the box?  We get ahead of the game by reviewing what is arguably David Fincher's masterpiece in Se7en on it's 25th anniversary.  Join your favourite transatlantic film review crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia – as we head to the thriving metropolis of "City Limits."  We think outside of the box in our 30th episode as we discuss:

  • How stupid the spelling is for this film's title
  • How different this film would have turned out if the studio hadn't sent David Fincher an earlier draft of the script.
  • Some of the truly bizarre alternate endings producers tried to shoehorn in.
  • Which actor was only cast 2 days before shooting.
  • Is Brad Pitt's performance amazing or consistently one note?
  • Is this just a real dark reimagining of a classic 80s buddy cop movie?
  • The mandela effect and how it applies to this film.
  • Which actor receives double billing on the end credits
  • Some of the sick jokes played on visitors and some of the cast
  • We talk about our upcoming Halloween episode and how you can be involved in deciding what we review for a special Oct 31st episode.
  • Is Somerset intentionally established as John Doe's polar opposite
  • Whether or not Se7en is the Best Film Ever.
