206. se7en - Halloween 2020 (#20)

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, and this week with special guests Doctor Bernice Murphy and Phil Bagnall, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. New episodes are released every Saturday at 6pm GMT. This week and next week, we are taking a break from our Summer of Scorsese for a Halloween treat. David Fincher's se7en. Detective William Somerset is seven days away from retirement, and has just been partnered with a new arrival from outside the city. Detective David Mills has yet to fully adjust to the rules of the urban landscape. However, Somerset's plans to retire are undercut after a pair of strange deaths point to something sinister simmering below the surface of the city. At time of recording, it was ranked 20th on the Internet Movie Database's list of the best movies of all-time.
