2007 was a stacked year for the major names in cinema offering bleak masterpieces and one that got left in the dust was David Fincher’s Zodiac<\/i>. The film meticulously details the notorious serial killer’s exploits and aftermath with a large ensemble and the obsessive attention to detail that has become synonymous with the auteur. Arriving before\u00a0The Curious Case of Benjamin Button<\/i> would finally thrust Fincher into the Oscar fold, Zodiac<\/i> was originally intended for the 2006 Oscar race before jettisoned off to the following March only to be forgotten at the end of the Oscar year.<\/p>\n
We make no qualms with gushing about this one – among our favorites of that decade, the film is a flawless epic of paranoia and sustained tension. This episode, we are talking about Fincher’s rise from Alien 3<\/i> failure to current Oscar staple, Robert Downey Jr.’s MCU comeback, and songs that can be both horny songs and scary songs.<\/p>\n
Topics also include our Fincher rankings, Zodiac<\/i>‘s internal competition for a Supporting Actor nod, and the film’s impressive visual effects that create a San Francisco of the past.<\/p>\n
