IFWT #167 - Zodiac (2007) [ft. author Eddie McNamara]

<p>Author Eddie mcNamara joins the show this week. Eddie has just released via Feral House, his new non-fiction book on the Zodiac case, Zodiactually: The Real Story of a Fake Serial Killer, that challenges the mainstream narrative of the infamous Zodiac killings that took place in the late 60s-70s. </p><p><br></p><p>Which makes him the perfect guest to join me in a discussion of David Fincher&#39;s 2007 masterpiece Zodiac, starring Jake Gyllenhaal as San Francisco Chroninicle cartoonist Robert Graysmith, who would go on to write the influential and case-resuscitating book Zoadiac, for which the film is based on. </p><p><br></p><p>But what is truth? What is fiction? And what are the blurred lines that give us all cause for speculation? Well, that&#39;s where Eddie McNamara comes in. Who is not only as massive fan of Fincher&#39;s Zodiac, but has spent years researching the case, and believes what most people know of the case, and its suspects, is not only highly suspicious, but flat out wrong. </p><p><br></p><p>So stay tuned as Eddie and I, discuss, dissect and deepdive, not only Fincher&#39;s Zodiac, but the case that birthed it. </p><p>Artwork for this episode once again produced by friend of the show @chrisbabalis of @acidmammoth, who&#39;s graphic work can be found at @Chriswitchystuff. </p><p><br></p><p>Special thanks goes out to Wayne Kelso (@waynekelso10 on Instagram), who was not only my former co-host here at IFWT, but also my good friend, who edited nearly half of this episode!
