Why The Game is an Underrated 90s Classic | A Review

August 07, 2024

Welcome! This week, we conclude our Odds and Ends Series, looking at flicks we've wanted to cover, but haven't found the space. Taylor chose The Game, David Fincher's thriller from 1997. It stars Michael Douglas and Sean Penn, and features the sort of mind-screw theme that was popular during this era. (See also: The Matrix and Dark City)


Still, The Game doesn't get the same love as Fincher's other works, such as Se7en and The Social Network. How does it hold up? Is it really the worst movie from a great director? Tune in and find out!


To pair, we look at something we haven't spent a lot of time on with this podcast: Oklahoma beer!
