Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John Le Carré

Posted by | on
5.04.2016

Duplicity, paranoia, espionage, anxiety... All that and more can be found in John Le Carré’s spellbinding Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1979). It’s the classic Cold War spy novel that inspired a generation...to keep their day jobs (since real spying is a lot of reading, interviewing people, and doing British old man swimming in rivers. Actually… the swimming sounds nice…)

Film released in 2011.
Director: Tomas Alfredson
Starring: every British actor ever

Show Notes
  • Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John Le Carré - Book
  • Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011) - Blu-ray
  • The author, John Le Carré (aka David John Moore Cornwell) said the following about his career: “Let me tell you a few things about myself… In the old days it was convenient to bill me as a spy turned writer. I was nothing of the kind. I am a writer who, when I was very young, spent a few ineffectual but extremely formative years in British Intelligence.”
  • Le Carré’s take on the adaptation
  • Keeping track of the characters is rough… here is some help, courtesy of Collider
  • Director Tomas Alfredson is not on social media… Maybe spam the movie studio, StudioCanal?

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

Posted by | on
4.27.2016

The guys tackle 2012's smash hit novel and 2014's acclaimed film, Gone Girl.

 

Show Notes

  • Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn - Book | Audible
  • Gone Girl (2014) - Blu-ray
  • Why Reese Witherspoon wasn’t in Gone Girl:  "Whenever David Fincher says he wants to do a project, you just sit back and say, 'Whatever you want to do.' We had a long conversation where he was like, "You're not right for it. And this is why.' And I actually completely agreed with him."
  • Trent Reznor on working w/ David Fincher: It's very critical to sit with David and try to get inside his head and translate what he's saying or feeling into an approach. David said "some of this movie deals with the concept of façades and appearances – whether it be to your spouse or to the public. Maybe let's pursue an idea where we are trying to tell you either subconsciously or blatantly that everything's OK here, but with an insincere callousness to it."
  • Rosamund Pike definitely got caught up in the Fincher acting method - to the point of doing some awkward things with a Dora the Explorer doll.
