Personality, episode by episode

Blank Check — Patreon: Gone Girl with Esther Zuckerman (Ad-Free) (guest)

Film writer and former Entertainment Weekly staffer who read the book first and loves Gone Girl without caveats. Adores Rosamund Pike, Reese Witherspoon's range and Wild, and thinks Amy is amazing. Defends Promising Young Woman and will not be teased out of a rom-com read of the film.

Stances

  • Gone Girl is one of the great films, not a guilty pleasure
  • Amy Dunne is a girl boss
  • The cool-girl monologue was written from a crazy person's view, and the film speaks to a moment
  • Reese Witherspoon is undervalued

Humor: Self-deprecating, quick with cross-talk and the personal anecdote (Bob, Yom Kippur, the ignored-joke bit).

In their words

  • “Great movie. Five stars.” (2:58:40)
  • “No she's amazing.” (0:14:58)
  • “I did see it on Yom Kippur with my parents.” (1:11:45)
  • “Can I also just put on record that I really, really love my boyfriend, Bob, and I do not want 2 Gone Girls?” (0:17:30)

Their claims

Showing 1–1 of 1 claim.

  1. lineage (adaptation): Gone Girl (Gillian Flynn novel) → Gone Girl. The film adapts Flynn's novel, and the first-person diary trickery was the open question about how it would work on screen.
    “Because it is such like a little fun piece of 1st person narration trickery.”

  1. fun, about Gone Girl: Esther's boyfriend's ex saw it with him in 2014 and told him afterward she would like to 'gone girl' him.
    “I would like to gone girl you, basically.”
