Oh hi,

This week on FilmSack, we toss the paperboy a nickel and flip right to the “horror-scopes” looking for a killer ZODIAC sign that doesn’t end in job loss, divorce and no player pong on a houseboat full of drugs due to our obsessions. Nah who are we kidding, we love movies, marvel connections and figuring out the cipher that is David Fincher’s 2007 .44 magnum opus (That’s a Dirty Harry Reference!) that dives deep into the investigations of those high profile murders that griped Northern California during the late 60s and 70s. What’s in the box? probably a rabid trailer park squirrel. 

Anywho, 1970s Cop Hulk angry at 1970s Newspaper Tony Stark for going on TV and spilling beans about case before sharing details with him. Cop Hulk, go home and sulk to wife now. But just know Cop Hulk is still very very angry. Also, Cop Hulk sorry for beating any other co-hosts to this dumb joke..

Randy, I am not the Zodiac. And if I was, I certainly wouldn’t tell you. ya big gossip girl ya!

Zodiac (2007) – Just like an actual unsolved murder investigation, long, boring and ultimately unsatisfying. #meantweets 

Zodiac (2007) – Just like an abandoned game of Atari Pong, you just can’t stop watching this classic. #Squirrel
