In episode 16 of In Contrast, Alan & Nisha do the one single thing you're not supposed to do.. talk about Fight Club.

Fight Club was the debut novel of author Chuck Palahniuk, originally published in 1996 and adapted to film by David Fincher in 1999. Both the book and film have remained a solid piece of the cultural zeitgeist ever since.

Why has this story remained so popular since its release? What about it draws so many people to its orbit? How does each medium communicate its at times complicated message, and how do audiences receive it?

Join us as we tackle one of the most famous (or maybe infamous) explorations of masculinity and societal ennui at the eve of the 21st century.
