08 - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

One year after Zodiac, David Fincher released a heartwarming tale penned by the screenwriter of Forrest Gump with a similar tour through American history. Pairing once more with Brad Pitt, Benjamin Button uses a unique character to explore the dynamics of age, maturity, pain, and love as advanced effects are leveraged to take the main character on a mystical journey backwards in age as he moves forward in time. The hosts discuss their first reactions to the film, their reactions after having children, and what this film might tell the
world about the fascinating case of the real David Fincher.
