Summary

How does a person respond to evil? Can any response make a difference? Why bother? Mike and Dan consider these questions as they talk about David Fincher's 1995 thriller Se7en. Topics include the many things the film does so well, from small moments that reveal character (like SOmerset's refusing a cup of coffee) to bigger issues that bring to mind the work of Flannery O'Connor, Cormac McCarthy, and Ernest Hemingway. So throw that switchblade into the dartboard, smash that metronome, and give it a listen.
