## Resource

Episode 83: Fight Club This week on Philosophy in Film, the gang grapples with the anarchic world of David Fincher's Fight Club . Starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, and Helena Bonham Carter, this cult classic delves into themes of consumerism, identity, and rebellion as it follows an insomniac office worker and a devil-may-care soap maker as they form an underground fight club that evolves into something much more. The chaos begins with Producer's Notes (6:22), where Craig sets the stage for an evening of mayhem. Alain then unpacks the narrative in the Beauclair Synopsis (18:27), laying the foundation for Chris to explore the film's deeper meanings in Philosopher's Corner (37:56). The Round Table (55:26) sees the gang in a heated debate over the film's interpretations, followed by a revealing session of Reviews (1:34:14), and ending with a bang as the gang blows open the Mailbag (1:40:04). As always, we discuss the philosophical and non-philosophical aspects of the movie, challenging you to rethink what you know about Fight Club (without breaking the first two rules). Featured Beer: Profit Märzen by Evil Corporation Brewing (Calgary, Alberta)
