The initial answers are Rosamund, Fincher, as one host always answers for Fincher movies, and Bleaker the Cat (as transcribed); the Fincher case is that this is his most successful movie ever, in 2014 when movies were no longer successful at the box office, after which he dropped the mic, went to television and got all the money in the world from Netflix.
Fincher is obsessed with Alfred Hitchcock, speaking at length about studying his films in the documentary about the Hitchcock book (transcribed 'Hitchcock True Foe'), and this is a Hitchcock movie with more blood, sex and dick: a striking blonde, a scurrilous tall handsome movie actor and a changing sense of whom to trust, his ode to those films.
The Hitchcock argument convinces another voice; the Rosamund holdout thinks the part was so incredible that four or five actresses would have scored at least fifty points with it, but she is exceptional, so maybe it is a fair win for them and for Bleaker the Cat.
