Zodiac

Wanting to talk about this film for years, Hurdy Gurdy Men Josh and Andrew sing their songs of love for David Fincher’s serial-killer thriller Zodiac. Falling down the numerous rabbit holes Fincher provides in his retelling of the unsolved investigation, our hosts work to solve how Zodiac works its addictive magic. Grab an Aqua Velva and unravel the mysteries surrounding this chilling piece of true crime, such as what exactly constitutes a comfort movie, which actor should stay human in a muppet-led version, and where the hell did Jim Emerson go? Next, Josh and Andrew have One More Thing, serving up Cocktails with George and Martha, Phillip Gefter’s dishy making-of tome on Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and Sofia Coppola’s underrated father-daughter drama Somewhere (also shot by the same DP as Zodiac).
