The hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, are not quite the “Film Bros” that completely worship at the altar of David Fincher thanks to Fight Club or Seven. However, he’s one of the few directors both guys respect highly and call appointment viewing. The guy simply doesn’t make uninteresting films, so they were here for his follow up to Mank.

For their 137th episode, two Smith-loving film critics, two calculated dads, and two methodical teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, have long circled the next David Fincher movie on the calendar, and it’s finally here. The Killer starring Michael Fassbender is circulating on Netflix and making the rounds with awards season. We talk about the rock-solid film and the razor sharp people who made it. Come for the shared challenge and stay for the mutual love and respect for the fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
