We broke the first rule of Fight Club. Unlikable protagonists are all the rage nowadays, but very few films understand the balance between condemning their actions while still presenting a compelling conflict. Tyler Durden shines a prime example of how to do it right. Co-host of the "Beyond the Screenplay" podcast Brian Bitner joins Larry to break down common misconceptions on Fight Club's characters, the film's unique use of CGI, and how such an iconic twist still works even decades later.
