Before heading into the Holiday season, Noir November could not be ignored. For the first time, Nick & Bella celebrate Noir November with three unforgettable, game-changing classics. We start with the Humphrey Bogart-led masterpiece and the catalyst for the Film Noir movement, 1941's The Maltese Falcon. Second, Billy Wilder's bleak, twisted, and sultry classic Double Indemnity. Finally, Alfred Hitchcock dipped his toes in the Noir lore with the wildly unnerving Strangers on a Train. Nick and Bella also dive into the debate of whether Film Noir is a genre or a style. Let us know what you think of these films, and let us know what your favorite Film Noir movie is. ❗️SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE ❗️Support the showSign up for our Patreon for exclusive Bonus Content.Follow the podcast on Instagram @gimmethreepodcastYou can keep up with Bella on Instagram @portraitofacinephile or Letterboxd You can keep up with Nick: on Instagram @nicholasybarra, on Twitter (X) @nicholaspybarra, or on LetterboxdShout out to contributor and producer Sonja Mereu.

Michelle is back, so that means it's time again for our series looking at the films of the great Billy Wilder. This time: two of Wilder's silliest and most edgy movies -- at least, edgy for the 1960s -- Irma La Douce and Kill Me, Stupid!. Both films have a broad, wacky comedy sensibility, both involve some bed-hopping and other sexual transgressions, and both are very worthy of discussion on this week's show!

We are getting an early start on the holidays as we recommend some favourite Indie (and Indy) Christmas songs from artists like; Jack Johnson, She & Him, & Low, and we preview our first lightly Christmassy big watch: the classic dark comedy The Apartment. I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha and Indy Randhawa Watch The Apartment on Hoopla: https://www.hoopladigital.com/movie/the-apartment-jack-lemmon/11805909 The Apartment is a 1960 American romantic comedy-drama film directed and produced by Billy Wilder from a screenplay he co-wrote with I. A. L. Diamond. It stars Jack Lemmon, Shirley MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray, with Ray Walston and Edie Adams in supporting roles.

He becomes attracted to an elevator operator (MacLaine) in his office building, unaware that she is having an affair with the head of personnel (MacMurray).

Happy Noirvember! On the fifty- third episode of ATFT, the Director of Communications for the Film Noir Foundation, Anne Hockens, joins me in analyzing Billy Wilder's 1944 film noir classic, Double Indemnity! This episode is spoiler- filled. Double Indemnity, according to Anne's friend and the president of the Film Noir Foundation Eddie Muller, marked the beginning of the film noir movement. The film revolves around Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray), an insurance salesman, who one day meets Mrs. Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck), the wife of a customer, in attempt to renew a policy. Their attraction is clear from the moment they first lay eyes on each other and grows stronger with each meeting. When Phyllis suggests she would like her husband dead, they plan “the perfect murder” with the intention of collecting as much money as possible through the "double indemnity" clause in Mr. Dietrichson's insurance policy, unbeknownst to him, but they have to get past Neff's intuitive and deeply analytical boss Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson) to pull it off. Double Indemnity is regarded by many still to this day as one of, if not the best film, within the noir genre. The Film Noir Foundation's 23rd annual Noir City Film Festival will take place in Oakland, California from January 16- 25. Over this week, 24 films will be screened but those titles won't be announced until the night of Noir Christmas which will take place in Oakland on December 17. Get your Noir Christmas tickets by clicking here! Individual tickets for the Noir City festival go on sale that night but you can get your Noir City pass by going to NoirCity.com. We talk extensively about the Film Noir Foundation towards the end of the episode so be sure to listen to the episode all the way through to learn more about all that's going on with the foundation from upcoming Noir City film festivals to their monthly magazine to their biweekly podcast Ask Eddie, with Anne and Eddie Muller, by going to their Facebook page, YouTube channel, and FilmNoirFoundation.org. In this episode, Anne and I talk about the techniques and noir tropes Double Indemnity introduces to the noir genre and cinema that continue to be utilized today, if Walter and Phyllis really loved each other, and why “tell” rather than “show” works to this film's advantage! Since this conversation marked the first time Anne and I have conversed, this episode does contain several tangents on topics such as other noir films, the danger of nitrate prints, and film sites Anne sees on a daily basis living in San Francisco. All this and more on the new episode of All the Film Things!Interested in listening to more film noir- focused episodes to celebrate Noirvember?

It's beginning to look a lot like Noirvember! This week we're getting steamy with the Wachowski's debut film, BOUND from 1996.Before getting into the film we're discussing the Wachowskis at large, their graphic novel and Hong Kong cinema influences, and how Bound was their Hollywood guarantor. This unique noir takes the Billy Wilder and Hitchcock influences and makes it the Wachowskis' own - we're breaking down the how's and why's, and how this feeds perfectly into the Matrix.Gina Gershon, Jennifer Tilly, and Joe Pantoliano are in the finest forms of their career, with Gershon and Tilly fighting over casting, and Joey Pants fighting to be nude on screen. Plus we learn how the crew became fluent in Wachowski as Susie Bright's proto-intimacy coordinating, Bill Pope's visuals, Zach Staenberg's editing, and Don Davis' music bring the sisters' style to the screen.Plus: sex, sex, SEX!

Billy Wilder tells the story of a man’s (Ray Milland) alcoholic weekend, and the lies he tells to family and friends about his drinking.

Shelly Brisbin with Nathan Alderman and Micheline Maynard.

This week, we discuss the often-overlooked French film, Mauvaise Graine (Bad Seed), which marked the start of a legendary directorial career for its co-director, Billy Wilder.SPOILER ALERT We will be talking about this movie in its entirety, so if you plan on watching it, we strongly suggest you do so before listening to our takes.An independent French production.

Michelle is back to continue our discussion of the films of Billy Wilder. This time, two films which are on and around the second world war: the wartime prison drama Stalag 17 and the mapcap Cold War comedy One, Two, Three. Michelle has some nuanced takes on Stalag 17 that Jason finds fascinating, but no nuance is needed to know that One, Two, Three is an absolute wild delight.Good listening from them as always!

With only his third film as director, Billy Wilder made an all-time classic: “Double Indemnity.” But it wasn't easy. He had to do it without his writing partner, Charles Brackett. And he had to overcome the film censors who declared James M. Cain's novel unfilmable. We're upping our Patreon in a major way for Season 2, so be sure to join today!

For his second movie, Billy Wilder made a hard turn away from fluffy comedy and set his sights not only on the action genre, but also on the burgeoning war occurring across the ocean. His sophomore effort may not be as well-known as his later works, but it's a critical entry in his career--and it's also one of Quentin Tarantino's favorite movies!

Janicke Askevold unpacks her journey from shooting Together Alone with friends during COVID to premiering her new feature Solomamma at the Locarno Film Festival. The Norwegian actor-turned-director traces how a one-page pitch led to full Norwegian Film Institute backing and a 25-day Oslo shoot that balanced long summer daylight, short 8-hour workdays, and a five-year-old co-star.Solomamma follows Edith, a journalist and single mother who secretly seeks out her sperm donor - an encounter that evolves into love, deceit, and a search for self. Co-produced across Lithuania, Latvia, and Finland, with sound design by a collaborator of Ruben Östlund, the film examines modern solo motherhood in the wake of Norway's 2020 legalization of single-parent conception.Janicke's cinematic influences span Fritz Lang's expressionism, Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard, and Maren Ade's Toni Erdmann. On craft, she champions preparation, the power of casting chemistry tests that “made her cry,” and editing as the stage where “you can make a whole new film.”Her advice to young filmmakers: trust your instincts, start sooner, send the story out—and don't wait for permission.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

Michelle is back again and she and Jason are once again discussing the brilliant films of the great Billy Wilder. This time they discuss the films which feature Marilyn Monroe. There's no question that Some Like It Hot is one of the greatest comedies of all time, a delirious, delightful, dizzy masterpiece of sheer lunacy. In other words, Jason and Michelle liked it.They also look at The Seven Year Itch, which is also a fine movie but much more problematic and complicated for a contemporary viewer. Monroe's character is just called The Girl in the film, which only hints at the problematic aspects of this film which is also quite fun, clever and entertaining.We also think this pod is entertaining and hope you agree!

Send us a textThis week we enter the gritty, black and white world of film noir with one of the greatest examples of the genre, “Double Indemnity.”  Premiering in 1944, directed by Billy Wilder, and starring Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyk and Edward G Robinson, this is a tale of adultery, murder, corruption, greed and …. an insurance scam. We also welcome back guest host Brian, who joined us previously in our “Cocaine Bear” episode.  So join us, won't you?  We'll see this through to the end…. you and us, baby…. straight down the line. 

Billy Wilder quickly became one of Hollywood's hottest screenwriters after teaming with Charles Brackett.

Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver & Raging Bull are widely considered two of the best films of their era that were made in America. He and Robert DeNiro were a powerhouse creative team and they're still considered one of the all-time great collaborations in the history of the medium. This makes it curious that the film that they made together in between these monumental classics, 1977's New York, New York, has been largely forgotten and left out of the conversation.We're seeking to remedy that with our episode this week and we are happy to be joined by film enthusiast and historian Jim Hemphill. Jim has loved the film since he saw as a young film student and he brings some wonderful and personal insights to the discussion. In the episode we cover:Why directors and actors are often poor judges of their own workJim's early days in LA and getting to meet folks like Samuel Fuller, Billy Wilder, Budd Boetticher, and Blake EdwardsThe power of laserdiscs (and physical media in general) to develop and nurture generations of movie loversMarty's balance of strengths in having the talents of a classical studio director alongside the passions of an independent auteur The fact that NYNY may be Scorsese's only film (beyond his "faith trilogy") where the protagonist experiences genuine growthAnd more!Buy New York, New York Limited Edition Blu-RaySubstantive Cinema Episode ListJim's IndieWire article on NYNYBlu-ray Commentaries with Jim and his wife: The Golden Child and Navy SealsShoutouts:The Smashing MachineOne Battle After AnotherDexter: ResurrectionFollow Jim:InstagramIndieWireFollow Us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Philip's Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BlueSky⁠⁠⁠Share Your Questions/Suggestions/Feedback With Us:Email: thesubstancepod@gmail.comDM on InstagramSupport Us: Support the show with an individual donation on CashApp to $TheSubstancePod or become a monthly Patreon supporter at patreon.com/TheSubstancePod

Michelle is back to continue our look at the films directed by the great Billy Wilder. This time, we look at the film which won the Academy Award for Best Picture and the film which should have won the award: the slightly less classic "problem drama" The Lost Weekend and the truly classic prototypical film noir Double Indemnity.Michelle and Jason both did their research on both films, which resulted in a fun and fascinating approach to the conversation, a conversation we hope you really enjoy.

One of the fascinating ironies about Los Angeles is that it is often movies in heightened genres like noir that best capture what the city really feels like to those born and raised in it (like this podcaster). Movies like Billy Wilder's acidic Hollywood takedown classic Sunset Boulevard and Roman Polanski's & Robert Towne's 70's new cinema classic Chinatown show sides of the city with a denizen's inside baseball knowledge. But there's also a neorealist strain in the films of John Cassavettes, Charles Burnett, and others that shows Los Angeles from a working class and middle class ground level. The way we actually live our life here. And finally, oddly, 60's and 70's B movies like 1977's totally couldn't be made today "The Van" show LA as it is because the moviemakers couldn't afford a budget to dress it up. They just shot what they could and captured LA without any soft lighting or makeup.  Join Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill (a 4th generation Los Angelino) as we discuss some of the known and underground gems that shine a real light on the city we who live here love.

With this week's episode, we offer a long overdue thanks to Patreon stalwart and regular guest star Gavin McDowell, who once asked Tim, Carrie, and Rob to share their thoughts on the wonderful cinematic form known as film noir. We were never to make that happen, but this is the next best thing: Gavin himself joins Tim to chat about the history, style, and classification of noir, along with fellow guest star Zev Burrows. Topics discussed include the ethically queasy appeal of the vicious women of noir, the difference between nihilism and cynicism, and whether either "film noir or "Alfred Hitchcock" can be reasonably described as film genres. In addition, for our movie roundtable, Zev catches up with the Jean Cocteau/Jean-Pierre Melville collaboration Les Enfants terribles, Gavin patches a terrible oversight by finally seeing Billy Wilder's The Apartment, and Tim shares his thoughts on British plays for television such as 1987's Road, his assignment from Patreon supporter David G.

Marilyn Monroe was a gorgeous blonde, the kind who made men's tongues hit the floor. She also played innocent, cute and dumb as well as anyone. Case in point, The Seven Year Itch is where that famous image of her skirt being blown up while she's standing over a subway grate comes from. And the cinematic icon aced all of those angles in Billy Wilder's comedy. Yes, the director had to compromise and cut out much of the risque material that was in the play, yet he's still got the gift of Monroe...and Tom Ewell too, who won a Tony for playing a man who has an overactive imagination and can't stop thinking about cheating while his family is away for the summer. But are we supposed to ROOT for him to be unfaithful? And is "The Girl" even real? This flawed movie HAS remained funny, at least, especially in the over-the-top fantasy sequences. So try to keep cool in the scorching summer heat as Have You Ever Seen #678 digs into the elegant and/or delicate shenanigans in The Seven Year Itch.
