Film Sack 747: Zodiac

Author: Scott Johnson May 17, 2026 Duration: 1:33:21
On a cheery upbeat episode of Film Sack, between 1968 and 1983, a San Francisco cartoonist becomes an amateur detective obsessed with tracking down the Zodiac Killer, an unidentified individual who terrorizes Northern California with a killing spree. Most of the MCU is in this, and also cartoonists rule.

There’s a particular kind of conversation that happens among friends after the credits roll, when the immediate reactions fade and you start digging into what you just watched-the weird choices, the hidden gems, the glorious misfires. That’s the space Film Sack occupies every week. Led by Scott Johnson and joined by regulars Brian Dunaway, Randy Jordan, and Brian Ibbott, this isn’t a film school lecture or a critics’ roundtable. It’s a deep, often hilarious, and always enthusiastic excavation of movies from every era and genre. The group mines these films not just for plot summary, but for the odd trivia, the technical quirks, and the personal memories they trigger. You’ll hear them tackle everything from forgotten cult classics to blockbuster staples, all with a sense of camaraderie and curiosity. Listening to this podcast feels like pulling up a chair at a lively, informed, and very funny post-movie debrief where the goal is simply to share a love for the craft and chaos of cinema. The discussions are deep enough for film buffs but remain entirely accessible to anyone who just enjoys a good story on screen. It’s that consistent, engaging dynamic between the hosts that makes each episode a fresh dive into the vast and wonderful world of film.
