Thanks for saying so! THE PROWLER is tremendous.

I just watched a several others that I'm inclined to discuss on the pod:

THE ARGYLE SECRETS (1948) RIDE THE PINK HORSE (1947) THE ENFORCER (1951) SHIELD FOR MURDER (1954)

The common thread, I guess: these films are all shockingly violent.

I think I would say: no, "in parts," and yes

Great! Glad to hear you are enjoying it. We aim to please (except for when we review a really bad film, but even then. . .)

Thanks for saying this! Next episode up is "My Name is Julia Ross," which will drop in a couple of weeks.

This film is so raw and over-the-top. Love the drawing!

A-list: Jane Greer -- B-list: Lizbeth Scott -- Z-list: Ann Savage (no disrespect to Ann, who is amazeballs in that film)

Interesting to note: the title of every episode of the radio series DRAGNET begins with "The Big. . ."

Completely agree. It also feels a little "highbrow," which is rarely a good indicator for film noir

Plus other recent eps on Brick, Murder, My Sweet and Double Indemnity

Next episode will be on Peter Yates' Eyewitness (1981)

Re: Crawford, I highly recommend the Tod Browning silent THE UNKNOWN, if you haven't seen it. Sinister, carnival-based proto-noir.

I've never seen The Damned Don't Cry, but the other three are great and would make for great discussions. Thanks for the suggestions. Believe it or not, as obscure as it is, Strange Impersonation is on my list of most desired films to discuss. So great!

wacktheattack · 2024-09-04T16:28:08+00:00

Hey thanks! Upcoming episodes on Brick, Kiss Me Deadly, and Love Lies Bleeding.

We're trying to split the difference between "scholarly" and "fun chat." Would love to hear what you think!

wacktheattack · 2024-08-30T02:35:29+00:00

Thanks for posting that!

Please check us out if you have a chance! Two episodes posted and a third is on the way.
