Seven (Se7en) is David Fincher's classic film noir starring Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt. But are we still allowed to like Kevin Spacey's (cancelled) performance?

"What's in the box?" - It's just one of the most famous movie quotes ever.

[@wileycsg]

"What's in the box" with a dreadful/fearful /tearful voice,,, awesome scene

[@dazm3754]

Add a new twist to Take-Away Delivery

[@Just_Sander]

Am I the only one that thought you saw the head in the box?

[@mosesmagnus2290]

i realize I'm kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to stream new series online?

[@ronanjoziah6966]

@Moses Magnus lately I have been using flixzone. You can find it on google =)

[@borisbonillo828]

We have a movie channel and three tech channels What about a uh... gaming... news... channel?

[@TheyreJustMovies]

Right - DG

[@borisbonillo828]

Right Anyways good stuff keep it up

[@JiaNaDaRen15]

I get so excited for this each week. Love this podcast.

[@Nakna_ankaN]

The "I'll be around."-line makes more sense if you take the deleted scenes into account. Somerset wasn't just planning to retire, but also buy a house and move out of the city. He changed his mind from giving in to the apathy and escape the horrors of the city or society altogether, to staying around and do what he can to help because he now believes that the world is worth fighting for. This change of mind is foreshadowed in the scene where after having the discussion with Mills, we see Mills go home and lay down to sleep next to his wife, while Somerset can't get any sleep and throws the metronome that he use to drown out the city, symbolizing that he can't allow himself to ignore it anymore. He can't stay apathetic because Mills really got to him.

[@GiovanniPeluso]

After 24 years and a dozen viewings I've finally realized the most evident part of the movie all three guys seemingly also missed. John Doe's original plans for envy and wrath were disrupted by Somerset illegally obtaining library data, his patriot act move. That interruption is the very event that leads to Detective Mills and Tracy Mills getting swapped as last minute replacements for whomever else he'd been planning on doing this or something like this to for over a year. So Somerset is inadvertently responsible for the ending. John Doe could never have known Mills was transferring nor include him in his master plan, he has no cash, no way to tell what was compromised and had to improvise last minute.

[@danica311]

Love how James keep referencing Every Frame A Painting.

[@Googaliemoogalie]

that's a great channel

[@ShooterQ]

1:10:44 This depends on the state, guys. We got 50 of 'em, plus other territories. In some states, a gun is harder to get than a political office. In others, it's the same as buying milk and eggs. And then there's tons of variation in between. Yes, some states don't require specific permits or licensing, but no state purchases from a store go without a federal background check. While the efficacy of this is up for debate (I'm not here for that), I just didn't want people to think "no license required" = "absolutely no legal processing." As for switchblades, same thing. No overarching federal regulation but some states do allow them in limited fashion, either by name only, appearance only, function only, or some combination of the three. Se7en takes place in NY, yeah? So... legal only during hunting/fishing, but a likely not a thing to worry about for a cop in the 90s. The number of states in which a "switchblade" is flat-out illegal is relatively low. As to WHY they are limited/prohibited in some areas, it's more to do with image and reputation back in the 1950s than anything as they are not considered very reliable or sturdy as far as knives go. Combine lingering legal statutes with the average perspective of someone like Riley who has been told that they are illegal and dangerous for most of their lives, and we end up with a continued mythos. P.S. That's not a dig at Riley, just saying that the average person doesn't know what they don't know... I mean, I don't even know what you Canadians have instead of states... Provinces or Colonies or something?

[@richardrobinson6154]

The chemistry is so fine tuned on this episode that every topic and rift was enjoyable. Need to work on these sudden ass endings though

[@umairzia4030]

This was one of your guys best podcasts. Requesting Arrival, American Beauty, LA Confidential, The Matrix, Into The Wild, Girl with Dragon Tattoo, There Will be Blood, American Psycho, Social Network, The Town. Thanks!!!

[@owencarey3165]

Bumping an old comment.. but this. This is pretty much my all time fav movie list, they need to cover some of these

[@aakashgupta2711]

Suggestion: tell us the next movie you'll talking about so that we could watch or re-watch it so that all the movie scenes and references are fresh

[@raulgalets]

Sometimes they tell.

[@miscbin]

I saw this at a late night theater when it came out. Literally every single person leaving didn't say a word as we all went to our cars afterward. My girlfriend and I didn't speak until we got back home a few miles away. It was truly dark for its time.

[@Theorica]

1982 Basket Case "What's in the basket?" "My brother!" Se7en stole it. =)

[@FaithfulFrets]

15:27 when you drop your buttered toast butter side down

[@tissot233]

Oh can't wait to see what you have to say about 7. Really need to check it again. I don't think I've seen it in a decade, but the dark and seedy feeling really left an impression.

[@preysidius190]

I know its late, but I think Sommerset represents a person between all points of view in the movie from the viewers perspective. He tries to understand the John Doe and in some cases he shares some of his point of view. John Doe to me, reads as a person who was apathetic, or tried to be apathetic, but then tried to do something about it in his own messed up way. I think that is why he doesn't stop Mills with action, he takes the place of the viewers who also do not know what to do in this situation Mills is in. Afterward we can reflect and say that we would stop him, but in the moment of how messed up it is we don't know what to do.

[@rahulrajrai1996]

Damn I'd been thinking of painting my room all black and putting Google home lighting in purple colour to create a nice ambience

[@hero_in_deepblu]

I came here from Riley’s tech upgrade video. So glad he mentioned it in the video, love this.

[@corrosion83]

Ugh i fell alseep before the upload, really looking forward to this one.

[@FilFee]

I didn't even know about this channel before the "How much does LMG make?".

[@member529]

tut

[@JohnBenfiel]

To buy a gun you must pass a background check. A license requires a very extensive background check that can take several months depending on state. The license lets you buy a gun and skip the background check, but must be renewed every few years. The laws are much more strict than the media would have you believe.

[@TheAstronomyDude]

Ok. I'm confused. Why did you guys never mention or put a link to this channel on TechLinked until today?

[@n8tallica1]

Se7en :) is in my Top 10 of all time. Thanks for the review and insights. Love this channel! James, the 'Tractor pulls' comment stems from a loud event where guys build high horsepower tractors and pull a device known as a sled (like a long trailer with a large moving counterweight) that advance from the back to the front increasing the drag on the tractor down a dirt track and competitors win the event depending on how far their 'built' tractor can go based on HP and torque. Tracy made the comment seemingly because they moved to a noisy city (with sirens, soothing, vibrating homes from trains) from a more quiet, rural area that would have these semi 'home-grown' or 'hee haw' events. Just wanted to add, in case it matters.

[@SlaveLabourEntertainment]

As an American watching this when James finds out that you do not need a license to own/buy a gun is interesting . Just to let you guys know most states you can buy a long guns (shot guns, black power rifles, "normal" rifles (bolt action 308 is common and semi auto ar-15, sks, ak-47 ) with no license ( some states have clip restrictions, my state does not ) just a simple background check, When i bought my ar-15 took me like 30 mins. Hand guns are more regulated depending on the state, and anything that is full auto ( heavy and light machine guns ) and huge like artillery (yes you can own/buy a howitzer or a tank fully functioning) with a proper licenses.

[@TheyreJustMovies]

well there's ur prahblam right therr

[@Gusto3791]

I almost got arrested in NYC just for having a standard folding pocket knife. I'm from Wisconsin where you can have knives as long as they dont exceed a certain length.

[@ArnauRectoret]

This movie opened the theme and ideas for Saw and a lot of crazy movies. I think that in perspective, when the movie was released was astunishing and much better that if it was made this year.

[@thesparkitect1489]

1:22:34 Name that flic: "the 90s are going to make the 60s look like the 50s."

[@ryanslattery9340]

You guys should review Enola Holmes. Reviews are mixed but after hearing David say it was good I gave it a try, loved it!

[@drmirk]

Yeaaah, new cast! :)

[@psychopopdesign]

do Paprika

[@fancyman7902]

Lol I saw the thumb nail and thought "is this a young Luke?"

[@KMHill]

OMG! Boys, boys, boys - you're so young! LOL You've never heard of a tractor pull? Just search youtube for examples! And you've never seen Serpico? Are you aware that the designer who created the opening credits later designed the credits for all seasons of American Horror Story. At the time they were very impressive and highly innovative.

[@SanketSalviteknas]

why is the screen glitching....did the camera die

[@Carboxylated]

This movie for my sake is getting brought up a ton. In my film school classes all the time, from random moments with your friends (who are not movies goers) and they mention "Hey have you seen this crazy movie called SE7EN?" Haha and now you guys...Carpool Critics talking about one of David Fincher's BEST work. One of the best movies ever made for screen. Top 10 of all time.

[@niclastname]

My biggest issue with the movie is that the killer's master plan doesn't even really work. He forced the "wrath" situation, and it didn't fit the rest of them. For all of the rest, he killed them based on one of the sins, and BECAUSE of one of the sins. Yet for wrath, he didn't kill him, and he hadn't been some blatant example of the sin. John Doe forced it, and Mills wasn't killed in some thematic way. Doe's last sin wasn't Envy, his last sin was the lame writing ending for his master plan... lol

[@zilliq]

Sloth is not killed because of sloth

[@niclastname]

@@zilliq You yeah you're right, I forgot about sloth lol. Not sure if the writing is lame, or if the writing is showing that the John Doe's writing is lame. xD

[@zilliq]

@@niclastname I think of all the cases only pride dies because of pride. Glutony is force fed and killed by the kick on the side. Greed wasn't greedy when he died, he made the smart choice of cutting the lovehandles but died anyway. Lust didn't have any choice, sure they were at that place at that time but what ultimately killed her was the gun pointed on the dude's forehead. On the sidenote I don't think the masterplan has to be perfect in the gritty imperfect world they depicted, and as they mentionned in the podcast the specificity of the murders don't matter that much in the end, except the final two

[@AcuraAddicted]

Why did I not know about this channel?

[@pakfurious8212]

i give it 9 and the acting is incredibly.

[@JohnGouvalisJD]

Base 12 is so much better in some areas if you think about it! For example, you get halves (6), thirds (4) and quarters (3) as whole numbers (as opposed to 5, 3.33333, 2.25). Think of how we count the hours of the day. (btw, school kids in the US are having trouble reading the analog clock so they removed those clocks from the classroom... why teach them how to tell time instead, right?)

[@patrickeason9105]

How has 2/3 of this podcast never heard of Serpico?

[@Mondo_Monchi]

Unfortunately you can go buy a gun with a very minimal (if any at all) check, right at your local walmart here in the states. In Ohio, you can't buy a handgun at 18, just a long gun. At 21 you can get a handgun and get a conceal & carry permit. Rifles are fair game for Open-Carry with or with permit.

[@isaacchisholm9775]

Should do silence of the lambs

[@georgwurth6614]

groups of 7 or 11 people are more dynamic and "fun" to construct because there can be more conflict. when you pair up people, there will always be one loner or third wheel with odd numbers.

[@TheGaluMoD]

Call me old-fashioned but I really miss title sequences at the beginning of films

[@JohnDoe-hk8hn]

There are two themes in this movie that intersect: The depravity of humanity and the decline of modern society. So, the meeting in the dinner between the wife and Somerset is essential to show that there is good in the world that should be cherished. So, as usual, Riley is oblivious to the point. That meeting is presenting the opposing view. The result or final conclusion of the movie is that decline is overwhelming and good are faced with a Sisyphean task to reverse the tide. John Doe's goal is not to commit crimes or hand out punishment, but to draw attention to the profound decline. Again, I enjoy David's comments on the cinematography.

[@lj00720]

When does this channel get to 1 Million Subs

[@jctai100]

Ahhhh gaming chairs and the constant need to adjust onself. Stop the insanity, pay half the price and give your back/glutes a break!

[@joshconfer209]

Are movie tropes a bit like stereotypes in that they have a basis in real life? I enjoy them because its easier to shutoff your brain to the background stuff in movies and focus.

[@IanZainea1990]

Bond films, X-men films are a couple that have long title sequences. It's kinda old-school, but I enjoy them usually.

[@yousupreme]

So for guns in the US, you do not need a license to purchase a gun, only to carry it outside of your home or car (carry permit). There are probably more specificities depending on which state but overall it's pretty much walk in, walk out.

[@blaelgore]

One of my favorite movies all time

[@BitcoinNoddy]

this is in my top three, pulp fiction is still #1

[@aa55claa55cl]

why linus says RIP to this channel ?

[@SD-xz4rd]

week old videos get only ~10-20k views

[@TheyreJustMovies]

He didn't. The editor wrote "rip" because linus didn't mention it.

[@jdytjndytjn]

law abiding citizen gogo DO IT !

[@zilliq]

I'd love to watch an episode on american psycho

[@auradzrts691]

For me it's Se7en

[@KDtox]

At least in Christianity, the number 7 is significant because it is said the God created the word in six days and rested on the 7th day.

[@jpitt916]

I didn't see any arc for Sommerset. If he made an arc he WOULD have tried to stop Mills. He's as apathetic at the end as at the beginning. The point of the movie to me is to see Mills be driven to the edge of sanity and then pushed over the edge.

[@zilliq]

Good point

[@abdullahpoyraz2838]

yeah if he shot the guy so mills doesn't then it would be a better end for the film AND the characters

[@panchomarquez]

Pliz, do Watchmen next.

[@AsheZerith]

Ah yes, another Morgan Freeman oldie but goodie. Someone said anime so please do Grave of the Fireflies next! Love the review btw

[@AlexRyanMusic]

Please do Watchmen!

[@wtfmatedough6588]

James is the guy that doesn't know how to make an insulting joke.

[@rudyskrew]

I know you guys do movies, but SOME TV series should be talked about, like the recent "Raised by Wolves" :)))

[@TheyreJustMovies]

if all 3 want to watch 10 hours of content, sure.

[@davetremaine9763]

Surprised no one gave it a 7 for the joke...

[@zilliq]

Riley mentionned he wanted to give it a 7.77 but settled for 7.5

[@IanZainea1990]

There's a differnece between like a dark story, and a tragedy. I don't know if this film is really a tragedy per se. A story like Hadestown is a classic tragedy. Where hope is a thread throughout, but due to a lack of full character change, the story ends on a sad note. I'm not sure Se7en quite does that. It's different, just dark. EDIT: Idk if this is a thing or not, but it's almost like tragic heroes over-learn their lesson. Orpheus (in Hadestown at least) is sorta un-attentive to Eurydice, and she ends up in the underworld because of that. Then in the end, he is too attentive, and that attention backfires and damns them both.

[@Sir.Craze-]

But... A 7 is a V on its... Yeah. 🎩👌

James... Why do you know what a strap-on knife sounds like?
