You are listening to The Next Best Picture podcast, and this is our review of Gone Curl.

Nick Dunn, you're probably the most hated man in America right now.

Did you kill your wife, Nick?

Everyone told us and told us, marriage is hard work.

Not for me and Nick.

As you all know, my wife, Amy Elliott Dunn, disappeared three days ago.

I had nothing to do with the disappearance of my wife. I have nothing to hide.

Is Amy got friends we can talk to? No, not really.

You don't know if she has friends. You don't know what she does all day and you don't know your wife's blood type. It's being a good guy. So everybody can see him being a good guy. Well, you really don't like him, do you? All I'm trying to do is be nice to the people who are volunteering to help find Amy. I will practice believing my husband loves me, but I could be wrong. You ever see that guy in the glasses before? Amy is the kind of girl who attracts admirers. Whoever took her is bound to bring her back. I'm hoping you can tell me what this means. You want to solve Amy's treasure hunt? You've seen this girl around here? Yeah, I remember her. I know you. I saw you at the Volunteer Center. I wanted to help. What she wanted a gun? We are all scared, but we are all here now. I feel like something to be jettisoned if necessary. I feel like I could disappear. The hallmark of a sociopath is a lack of empathy. Amy lost a lot of blood in there. Then somebody mop it up. Why they mop up the blood if they're trying to stage a crime scene? Whatever they found, I think it's safe to assume that it's very bad. I finally realized I am frightened of my own husband. I would draw you as if you're doing a deposition. What to say, what not to say. A trained monkey? A trained monkey who doesn't get lethal injection. She's going to eat you alive. You assaulted her? It's not good enough for you. I hit her. It's not even close. Absolutely not. I never touched her. We now believe Nick is involved in the disappearance of our daughter. Without a body, without a murder weapon, their only hope is a confession. You don't know anything yet? You need to tell me to tell me how was your marriage nick are you asking me if I killed my wife man of my

dreams this man of mine may kill me what about my son Nick this man may kill me in

her own words this man may truly kill me you ever hear the expression?

Simplest answer is often the correct one.

Actually, I've never found that to be true.

All right, everybody, you were just listening to the trailer for Gone Girl, and the story is as follows.

Former New York-based writer Nick Dunn and his glamorous wife, Amy, present a portrait of blissful marriage to the public. However,

when Amy goes missing on the couple's fifth wedding anniversary, Nick becomes the prime

suspect in her disappearance. The resulting police pressure and media frenzy causes the Dunn's

image of a happy union to crumble, leading to a tantalizing a series of questions about who Nick and Amy truly are.

The film is starring Ben Affleck, Rosamine Pike, Neil Patrick Harris, Tyler Perry, Kim Dickens, Carrie Coon, and Patrick Fuggett.

It is directed by David Fincher, written by Gillian Flynn.
