FIRST TIME WATCHING: Zodiac - Director's Cut
Happy Feature Friday!
We're finishing the week with this fascinating crime thriller by David Fincher! I did manage to find the Director's Cut on Prime Video, so that is the version I watched.
As always, thank you for your support here on Patreon. Until the next one, have a great weekend, take care and stay golden :)

Right now I'm watching the movie but I doubt it's the Director's Cut. Why the Director's Cut?
your editor shoulddo a full watch along cut to the regular version of the movie haha for those of us who don't want to rent the directors cut with the 7 extra minutes
You said you like to see Mark Ruffalo on a Detective role, so I recommend TASK, a new series on HBO, it stars Mark and is a very underrated series that flew under the radar.
«Why do they all look like they’re dressed like Dwight from the Office», new fave comment 🤣
leigh is so guilty it’s obvious, don’t you think? it’s either him or Ted Cruz
Damn, I’ve got no way to stream the Directors Cut, it’s not available on Prime where I’m from 🥲

You live in California & you never heard of the Zodiac?
Unpopular opinion: I've always felt that Zodiac has a SUPER strong first act, but fizzles for the remainder, grasping at straws, much like the Zodiac case itself. Nat, if you like true crime, I suggest Mindhunter (2017) Season 1 on Netflix, maybe as a react. I feel season 2 is weaker, but still ok.
Kind of crazy that pretty much every piece of evidence points to Arthur Allen Leigh and the only reason it’s “unsolved” is because he died 😭 And this is why graphology (handwriting analysis to determine personality traits) is now a totally debunked pseudoscience
Fincher does a very clever move by only showing the murders were someone survived or there were witnesses. That is why the two murders at Lake Herman Road isn't shown. They also used different actors for Zodiac in the different attacks to account for the discrepancies in the reports by witnesses. The film does an amazing job both by showing how people can go down rabbit holes and become obsessed trying to find out who did it. As well as puling the viewer into it and dragging us down the different rabit holes. Fantastic film and my favourite from Fincher.
You’ve never heard of the Zodiac killer??? 😭 TED CRUZ????
😭😭
Love this movie for how meticulously accurate it is to the Zodiac case files, letters, etc. Makes it even more unsettling! Also, I'm shocked you haven't heard about the Zodiac killer! Maybe one of the most well-known unsolved cases of all time.
Dang it i own the non directors cut 😅
One of the best true-to-life detective stories out there--right up there with All the President's Men. Not sure if I think the director's cut is better--it's certainly longer. But it ain't bad, either. So, good shit.
Have you ever watched Seven? If not that should be in your future.
Hi Joshua, Yes Nat has watched Se7en, and she knows What's in the Box!!!!
Looks like I have to rent the director's cut but it's totally worth it to see it and also enjoy a watch-a-long with Nat 😁
Thank you for the heads up about what version you are watching. I remember watching this for the first time a little while ago.
Happy Fincher Feature Friday Nat 😅 The atmosphere in this movie is so good and perfectly catches the period. Excited to watch along with you today. Really cool that you're watching the director's cut too 😊
