Missing Real with Mike D'Arrigo

Great movies take their place in history, but what about all the "turkeys" and disastrous flops littering the vast cinematic cesspool? If you really love movies, then what does it matter if a particular film won eight Oscars or eight Razzies? Sometimes over-the-top hammy acting, laughably choreographed fight sequences and rubber monster FX outdo even the most lavish productions in the Academy Awards echelon. So, whether it's an unsurpassed masterpiece or a piece of something else, every movie I talk about in this podcast is near and dear to my heart. Some you will know well, some you'd be well off never knowing at all, at least until hearing just how enjoyably awful they are, so plug in those earbuds or don your expensive blingy Beats, and let's take a trip to the movies!

This 1995 serial killer thriller never gets old. Moody, dark, menacing...and intelligent! You could learn a lot from it, including how to count. David Fincher's gruesome masterpiece takes two detectives (Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt) and pits them against a creep who commits a series of murders inspired by the "seven deadly sins". (Personally, I only commit the safe sins. Might as well live it up and just repent at the very end). It's dreary and depressing all the way to the perfect shock of an ending. But fun, too! Just like this podcast, with the multi-talented Dave Chan giving an inside view of forensic science and what it's like to work with dead bodies in the morgue! Eeeeeew... Curious, aren't ya? And one other burning question will be answered: "What's in the BOX????"
