Our final stop on this Month of Love is anything but lovey-dovey. Join us as we tackle Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl, the psychological thriller that redefined marriage (in the scariest way possible) and its 2014 film adaptation directed by David Fincher. In this episode, we dive into the manipulations, mind games, and media frenzies that make Amy and Nick Dunne’s story so disturbingly captivating.
