Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988)- Libby Cudmore
Q: Tell us a bit about Libby Cudmore's books and how they relate to Roger Rabbit
Libby expresses both reluctance and enthusiasm about discussing her books, then highlights the way her work, like FE. Perrine PI and The Big Rewind, channels the mystery genre's sensibilities—especially how character dynamics and a working-class backdrop anchor the storytelling, much like Roger Rabbit does for its genre blend.
Dial M For Murder (1954) - Nekesa Afia
Q: How can everybody keep in touch with you and your work?
Nekesa points listeners to Instagram and Threads as the primary social channels for her work, with a note that Twitter/X is no longer in use for her.
Miller's Crossing (1990) - David Avallone
Q: Do you think Miller's Crossing has enduring relevance for audiences today?
Yes, because the themes of loyalty, power, and the gray areas of ethical decision-making translate beyond era or genre, making it a timeless study in character under pressure.
Miller's Crossing (1990) - David Avallone
Q: What inspired you to write about the late-70s New York/Harlem setting and the 'Glass Key' influence?
He describes using the late-70s New York backdrop as a way to explore showy crime and real-estate greed, while the Glass Key influence provides a structural template—friendship, betrayal, and a fatalistic view of loyalty—without being a direct remake.
Miller's Crossing (1990) - David Avallone
Q: How did Miller's Crossing fit into your understanding of noir and pulp traditions?
David explains that Miller's Crossing stands out by focusing on human relationships and moral ambiguity rather than a traditional whodunit, blending Hammett's hard-edged realism with Coen brothers' dialogue and period tone to create a modern noir that's still faithful to its pulp roots.
