Welcome back to Make Me a Fan — the show within the show where friendships are tested, filmographies are weaponised, and opinions are absolutely not left at the door. Currently, the scoreboard reads like a dramatic trilogy: 🎬 1 glorious success (Rach falling head over heels for Florence Pugh) 🎬 1 crushing failure (Dale stubbornly resisting the charms of Keira Knightley) And now… the decider. This time, the boys step into the ring armed with the filmography of the ever-intense, ever-intriguing Edward Norton — an actor who doesn’t just perform … he infiltrates. Known for disappearing into roles like a method-acting ninja with a philosophy degree, Norton’s catalogue is a playground of complex characters, moral grey zones, and the occasional existential spiral. The mission? Simple. Pick three films. Make Rachael care. Convert scepticism into full-blown fandom. Will Norton’s layered performances crack the code? Or will Rachael remain gloriously unconvinced, arms folded, unimpressed? It’s persuasive cinema meets chaotic energy — and honestly, it could go either way. What actor/director do you have a dislike of that you want to see covered? We want to know!
