18 - Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

This girl, she's G O N E. Spoiler alert we both loved this amazing story and praise the highs and lows of Amy Elliot Dunne. We talk about Ben Afflect's very punchable face and why he's perfect for his role as Nick and get into deep Hasbro thoughts. The movie was directed by one of our faves for adaptations - David Fincher - and Gillian Flynn is Jordan's all-time favorite author. Seriously, you should see her shrine. Needless to say, we kinda liked this one.

Episode Drink:
