Pack your parka and fine-tune your hacker skills because we're heading to Sweden to discuss David Fincher's 2011 adaptation of Stieg Larsson's global phenomenon of a novel: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo!
Join us as we offer all the praise to Rooney Mara, who really had the deck stacked against her when it came to taking on the role of Lisbeth Salander (she's great in this film) before diving into the complicated mystery at the center of the film and question Daniel Craig's penchant for queer-coded torture scenes.
Plus, Joe's hilarious theater-going anecdotes, a James Bond-ish opening credits sequence, Trace's complete and total lack of awareness of NIN (and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and two very candid (and unedited!) conversations about rape revenge.
