Fight Club (1999) ft. Andrew Corns and Peterson W. Hill
Manage episode 449925364 series 2912293
Dana and Tom with returning guests, Andrew Corns (Host of the Revisionist Almanac) and Peterson W. Hill (Co-Host of the War Starts at Midnight podcast), to discuss Fight Club (1999) for its 25th Anniversary: directed by David Fincher, written by Jim Uhls, music by the Dust Brothers, starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter, and Meat Loaf.
Plot Summary: Fight Club, directed by David Fincher, is a dark, visceral exploration of disillusionment and rebellion in a consumer-driven society. Edward Norton stars as an unnamed narrator, a corporate drone who feels trapped in the relentless cycle of modern capitalism. His insomnia and sense of detachment lead him to underground support groups, where he finds fleeting solace. Still, it’s only when he meets the charismatic anarchist Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) that he feels truly alive.
Tyler and the narrator start a "Fight Club," an underground fight society where men brawl to escape the numbness of their lives. What begins as cathartic release soon spirals into chaos as Tyler’s influence over the narrator grows, drawing him into an increasingly violent, nihilistic philosophy.
