KnockBack, Episode 192: Fight Club
Added 2021-10-11 16:01:03 +0000 UTCWhile it's true that the first rule of Fight Club is not to talk about Fight Club, we felt like a two hour podcast of silence wouldn't be very enticing. Thus, we're willing to break the sacred code to present to you a discussion all about David Fincher's 1999 film based upon Chuck Palahniuk's 1996 novel. The story revolves around an unnamed man played by Edward Norton who encounters a man named Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt. The result is an introspective, Generation X-infused movie that focuses a spotlight on the hopelessness deep inside all of us, one that comes out in fits of consumerism, despair, and even violence. It's that latter word that's the true focus of Fight Club, though: The battering life can deliver all of us.

Edward Norton's best performance is the bagel in Sausage Party

2021-10-14 15:10:16 +0000 UTCHey Colin, you mentioned being a Tool fan. I'm wondering what you thought of Fear Inoculum the album? (Still can't get over that album title a 5-6 months before COVID 😂)

2021-10-14 10:12:16 +0000 UTCThank you Colin and friends. I have sent a “wall of text” for Colin. I do apologize but I believe it was important for me to say

2021-10-12 09:09:46 +0000 UTCOnly while watching this did I remember that my brother had an actual fight club where he and his mates would beat the hell out of each other... Great episode though. Really interesting point by Colin about that primitive existentialism, you could write a whole thesis on that point alone.

2021-10-12 01:53:53 +0000 UTCHey Col, if you’re wondering why Chuck went back to the well with Fight Club, he mentioned in his Rogan appearance that an accountant at his literary agency pretty much robbed him and others who worked for the agency blind and that he was close to broke. He pretty much received no payment for fight club 2 or anything after till the news broke of the embezzling.
