Adapted from Chuck Palahniuk's book of the same name, Fight Club (1999) was a dense, heady smash DVD hit that has remained a cult classic. The film revolves around the life of an unnamed narrator (Edward Norton) who lives his life in an alienating office job only to go home surrounded by Ikea furniture in his city condo. Attempting to work through his depressed feelings (which have manifested into physical symptoms like insomnia), he attends an array of support groups where he meets the also-depressed Marla Singer (Helena Bonham Carter in an iconic role). He also meets a new best friend in Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) and together, they start a fight club that quickly rises in popularity among men. The hosts discuss the directing genius of David Fincher, various Easter eggs, and how –despite the fact that there are so many films about men– there are few films that explore modern masculinity.
