Ep 163 Seven

Welcome to Horror

“What’s in the box?” It’s Adam’s Birthday choice, and he’s opted for wacky screwball rom-com “Se7en” from Hollywood fun-meister David Fincher. “Se7en”, a bleak glimpse into a world spiralling into hell (a bit like the news, but featuring good-looking people you care about). We learn that a man sitting in his own excrement will usually move out of it if he can; we confirm that serial murderers never use their bath for washing; and someone stops Gwyneth Paltrow before she has a chance to make candles that smell like her fanny. The gold standard of art-y serial killer films, Se7en spawned hundreds of lesser imitators, but none of those have taken away the disturbing power of the original. Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers, and join us.
