Season 4, Episode 3: Fight Club (1999)
Episode 4
Tuesday, 19 August, 2025

I want you to film nerd as hard as you can. On this episode, BK & Jack break the first two rules and have a great conversation talking about Fight Club! During this deep dive, you'll hear how the literary tradition that gave the world "dangerous writing" also gave Chuck Palahniuk the blueprint for his dark satire, how a group of dedicated creatives convinced Fox to make their "seditious little film" on a Hollywood budget, how the film landed in smack in the middle of one of the most fractious years in American cultural history, and much more! And if this is your first night with the Film Nerds, you have to listen!
