07 - Zodiac

A full five years after Panic Room, David Fincher found himself once more on the trail of a serial killer. This one, however, is a terrifying true-life story of a murderer who defied capture and terrorized California, spurring conspiracy theories to this day. Your hosts explore the differences between the theatrical and director’s cuts, how Zodiac sparks on Fincher’s own fascination with the disturbed, and different actors’ ways to handle a director who, by that point in his career, had learned how to get precisely what he wanted and was no longer willing to compromise on what it would take to get it.
