Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 22 ratings
  • A new favourite film podcast

    So glad to stumble across a recommendation for this, from the equally good “Why Theory” podcast. A stimulating but also fun discussion of the noir and noir-adjacent genre, with categories that rival “The Rewatchables”. This podcast deserves to run and run.

  • Best Film Noir Podcast

    There are a few dedicated Film Noir podcasts out there. Some are highly academic while others are just normal people with a penchant for these films who tend to be more on the funny side. This one is the best blend of both. It’s highly entertaining and the hosts also know their stuff. Recommended.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Blade Runner (1982) with Ian Capozzoli
Q: Do you have anything you'd like to plug?
As someone who watches a lot of movies but isn't as familiar with directors, I love looking back and learning what everyone's done.
The Unholy Three (1925) with James Hazelden
Q: What are your thoughts on the film's exploration of carnival life?
It highlights the desperation and melancholy often overlooked in the portrayal of circus performers.
Phantom Lady (1944) with Daniel Cho
Q: Do you have anything you'd like to plug?
Daniel plugs his jazz percussionist side hustle.
Love is Colder than Death (1969) with Kyle Fleishfresser
Q: Kyle, do you have anything you'd like to plug?
Yes. I'm going to be running in the Redbud child marathon with my daughter in Nichols Hills Plaza in Oklahoma City.
Collateral (2004) with Corey Provencher
Q: Corey, do you have anything you'd like to plug?
Yeah, I want to plug the word taco cat, because if you spell it backwards, it still says taco cat, and I think people aren't talking about that enough.
