Episode 246 - Gone Girl

Best Film Ever

(Deep Dive begins at 46:45)

We're so cute. I want to punch us in the face. Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, Liam, and Kev (the girls are gone... or are they?) as we're heading to small town Missouri on a treasure hunt as we reconvene the BFE Book Club as we review the Gillian Flynn literary adaptation, Gone Girl. We're heading to the woodshed in our 246th episode as we discuss:

• Spectatorship and how this film plays both sides and gets away with it
• Liam again struggles with some choices made by the filmmmakers
• We discuss a legendary supporting actor who plays completely against type
• We ask where Rosamund Pike has been hiding all this time
• How many men are necessary before we can call something a BOYS NIGHT
• Ian's brought a beverage for a BFE taste test segment
• Liam claims he's never heard one of the biggest hits of the 2010s
• Someone take issue with one specific line near the end of the film
• Whether or not The Help is the Best Film Ever
