“He was some kind of a man. What does it matter what you say about people?” – Touch of Evil (1958)This week, we're crossing into the shadowy borderlands of noir with special guest Ryan Luis Rodriguez to unpack Orson Welles' Touch of Evil. From its legendary opening tracking shot to Welles' haunting turn as the corrupt Hank Quinlan, the film stands as a dark, complex swan song to the classic noir era.Together, we explore the film's bold visual language, its controversial casting choices, and the fascinating story behind the restored cut that finally honored Welles' original vision. Touch of Evil isn't just a masterwork of style—it's a film that continues to challenge how we think about authority, morality, and the boundaries we draw. Episode Notes:Touch of Evil (1958) was directed by Orson Welles and stars Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, and Welles himselfSelected to the National Film Registry in 1993Famous for:A 3+ minute opening tracking shot widely regarded as one of the best in cinemaWelles' portrayal of the morally bankrupt Captain Hank QuinlanA studio-meddled post-production process that was later corrected by a 1998 restoration using Welles' notesDiscussion topics include:The film's place at the end of the classic noir eraInnovations in camera movement, sound design, and lightingHow Touch of Evil navigates race, identity, and law enforcement on the U.S.–Mexico borderThe legacy of the restored version and its impact on Welles' reputationFeaturing special guest:Ryan Luis Rodriguez, film podcaster and host of The Coolness Chronicles and Reels of Justice Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

The Muppet Movie took Kermit the Frog and company from The Muppet Show all the way to Hollywood. But beyond the "approximate" story of how the Muppets got together, what does everyone's favorite group of frogs, pigs, bears, and whatevers do with their "rich and famous contracts"? The Great Muppet Caper, that's what. Ryan Luis Rodriguez of The Coolness Chronicles and Reels of Justice joins our Muppets mega-series as we break down Jim Henson's feature directorial debut. We'll discuss how it pays tribute to classic Hollywood musicals, why Kermit isn't actually the main character, and whether The Great Muppet Caper is superior to its predecessor.
