BONUS Tie-in 37 - Fight Club (teaser)

Uncut Gems Podcast

Here's a short teaser of our brand new Patreon-exclusive episode of Uncut Gems Tie-ins, a monthly series where we take a classic movie and connect it to a film discussed on our main show.

In this podcast we are tying into our month-long conversation about male mental health and men in crisis and we are talking about David Fincher's Fight Club. Over the course of our sprawling and amazingly varied conversation you will hear us talk about the magic of Chuck Palahniuk's writing, the anatomy of this movie's central twist and the slick allure of a late-90s cult classic. We also talk about how its alleged toxicity can be easily dismantled, how the movie smuggles a difficult conversation about Gen-X and elder Millennial men, how it speaks to fundamental concepts of stoic masculinity and how it shows them warped into a cult and more, all in addition to unpacking this movie's cultural legacy, correcting its scientific errors and trying to make sense of its ending.

Tune in and enjoy!

Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy Burrows
