#10 Seven: "What's in the box?"



Are you a fan of nineties psychological thrillers or deep dive film reviews? Then you need to check out the latest episode of the Four Takes Movie Podcast. This week, hosts Martin, Luke, David, and Adam tackle the bleak and brilliant 1995 movie Se7en, directed by David Fincher. If you love dissecting classic cinema, this movie podcast episode is an absolute necessity for your weekly listening.

The team unpacks everything that makes this Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman film a defining classic of the serial killer movie genre. You will hear Adam experience a real-time emotional crisis, as he admits the film permanently harmed his soul. While David and Martin brush the story off as mainstream light horror, Adam was entirely unprepared for the depravity of the John Doe murders.

This episode features a detailed breakdown of the seven deadly sins. The podcast hosts debate the horrifying sloth jump scare involving pine-scented car fresheners, and they even jokingly crown the work of Gwyneth Paltrow in the infamous box as her absolute best performance. Film trivia buffs will love the behind-the-scenes discussion, including the shocking revelation that Brad Pitt sliced his arm down to the bone during a rain-soaked chase sequence, an injury so severe it forced the production crew to write his medical cast into the script.

Beyond the gripping narrative, the hosts analyse the atmospheric cinematography of the nameless and gritty city, which they compare to a significantly worse version of Gotham. They also take a hilarious trip down memory lane, comparing the Orwellian FBI library book tracking in the film to the agonizingly slow internet of 1995. From the chillingly calm performance of Kevin Spacey as the killer to the heart-pounding final desert climax, the team covers every twisted detail of this near-perfect film.

Do not miss out on this cinematic deep dive. Whether you are a dedicated David Fincher fan or just want to hear Adam suffer through a grim movie experience, this episode has something for every film buff. Stick around until the end to hear the group announce their next adventure, the 1993 dinosaur blockbuster Jurassic Park.
