Ben and Rob meet ‘Mank’; David Fincher’s first movie project for Netflix. Starring Gary Oldman, Amanda Seyfried and Charles Dance, this film is rarely mentioned in conversations about Fincher’s greatest films. Yet our hosts, approaching it with sheer dread, make the case that this is Fincher’s most slept-on masterpiece.
