This is the Baymaw podcast with Marty Solomon.

I'm his co-host, Brent Billings.

Today I am with Reed Dent to discuss the 1995 David Fincher film 7.

And Reed, we got to share some disclaimers first.

Okay.

First of all, this is truly a bonus episode you may

have seen that in the title it is not officially part of the vice and virtue series obviously

related in some way hopefully obvious it's just a nice little appendix yeah uh a footnote really

because i also well i'll get to this in a moment,

but I don't know exactly when we're going to release this, but I don't want to release it at the

end of the series. As if it's the capstone or something. Yeah, it's not. We are not letting

David Venture have the final word. Yeah, it is totally a bonus episode. This film is not for everyone.

Definitely not. There's not a lot of direct violence, but there are very graphic depictions

of the aftermath of lots of violence. Extremely. And very graphic descriptions of the acts of

violence, lots and lots of swearing, a little bit of nudity.

If you want to skip this episode, you have complete and total permission.

You don't have to feel like, oh, I never finished the vice and virtue series.

This is not part of the vice and virtue series.

So I was only 11 when this movie came out, but it definitely had like a kind of reputation after that, like into my high school years where seven was like this movie that people would like talk about how like awesome it was.

And then at the same time, they'd be like, but maybe you

probably shouldn't watch it, you know, because of just how kind of gruesome it is. And I think we're

going to most, I don't anticipate a lot for just our people who are listening now. Like like if you're concerned about us describing in graphic detail the graphic parts of the movie, I don't think we're really going to be getting into that. I don't anticipate getting into that.
