Episode 248: Woman of the Hour Screenwriter Ian McDonald and Se7en (1995)

This week we're joined by writer Ian McDonald! We chat about his new Netflix true crime movie Woman of the Hour, which was directed by and stars Anna Kendrick. We chat about serial killer Rodney Alcala AKA The Dating Game Killer, working with Anna, the research that went into the film and the importance of perspective. Then we find out about his horror history and why David Fincher's Se7en terrified him growing up. Mary Beth shares her edgelord teenage years, Terry discusses why he initially didn't like the film but has grown to appreciate it and so much more. You can follow Ian on Instagram. Check out Woman of the Hour on Netflix on 18 October or if it's playing in its limited theatrical release around you right now. Follow Mary Beth, Terry and the Podcast on Twitter.
