  • 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.

Daniel plugs his jazz percussionist side hustle.
Love is Colder than Death (1969) with Kyle Fleishfresser

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.
The Gingerbread Man (1998) with Soren Sorensen
Q: So to begin our first section, What Makes It Noir? Any thoughts on this?
The dialogue and delivery is pretty much full of this snappy or quippy, wry, dry humor, and really fast slang.
