David Fincher's Zodiac is a masterpiece, but it's not that simple. This is more than just a perfect true crime movie. It's also a horror movie that relentlessly denies the viewer any sense of closure or narrative satisfaction. As we argue in today's episode, Zodiac is a spiraling mystery in conversation with everything from slashers and possession movies to journalism stories and the complicated idea of "the great American novel". We also explore the film's unorthodox creature design (handwriting analysis!), its place within the larger David Fincher canon, and the question of whether or not the ending really is "ambiguous" at all.
