​In this episode, we review Kathryn Bigelow's 1990 thriller, "Blue Steel," where Jamie Lee Curtis shines as a rookie cop entangled in a psychological battle with Ron Silver's unnerving antagonist. We critique the film's narrative structure, character development, and Bigelow's evolving directorial style, offering insights into both its strengths and missed opportunities. Join us for a thoughtful analysis of this intriguing yet imperfect cinematic piece.

Click here to try it out!In this episode, we wade into Chinatown — a sun-bleached noir where water is power, everyone's lying, and the system wins. We talk Jack Nicholson's bandaged nose, Faye Dunaway's glass-shard fragility, John Huston's all-time villainy, and that ending that still guts you. Yes, we address the director caveat up front; then we focus on what's on screen: A precision-engineered thriller that never wastes a line, a clue, or a cut.What we coverWhy “Chinatown”? The title's bleak punchline and what “forget it” really means in a city built on corruption.Follow the water: Droughts, land grabs, cooked records, and a murder that only makes sense when you trace the pipes.Noir done right: Goldsmith's moody trumpet score, razor tailoring, art-deco menace, and how every tiny detail pays off.Iconic moments: The nose slice (cameo alert), the “my sister/my daughter” reveal, and the slow-motion horror of the finale.Performances: Nicholson's cocky PI unravelled, Dunaway's haunted elegance, Huston's monstrous calm.The ethics disclaimer: Separating a notorious off-screen history from on-screen craft — and why that discomfort belongs in the conversation.Context chats: How the screenplay became a template, the year it ran into The Godfather Part II, and why the ending had to be that ending.Should you watch it?If you like your mysteries tidy and comforting, this isn't that. If you want clockwork plotting, glorious craft, and a finish that lingers… it's essential. We're candid, a bit feral, and very fun about it.“Every throwaway line is a breadcrumb. By the time you see the trail, it's already too late.”

For a special Halloween episode, Marc and Dan welcome back Clay McCormack, a cohost of the Rotten Horror Picture Show podcast, to discuss the intersection of film noir and horror.

They also highlight the influence of historical events on cinematic styles and the crossover of talent between horror and noir films. The episode also touches on the evolution of horror and noir, the role of budget constraints in creative filmmaking, and the enduring appeal of these films. Happy Halloween!

Starting out after college, with a borrowed video tape deck and camera, the soon to be legendary trio created the Kentucky Fried Theater, on the UW Madison campus, and moved to California in 1972, quickly becoming the most successful small theater group. in Los Angeles history. After parlaying this success into The Kentucky Fried Movie, the three conceived the idea that would create a whole new film genre. Airplane! (1980) broke all conventions, featuring dramatic actors like Robert Stack and Leslie Nielsen performing zany jokes with straight-laced sincerity. The spoof became the surprise hit of 1980, beginning a streak of hilarious movies including Top Secret! (1984) and Ruthless People (1986), after which David branched out on his own to direct The Naked Guns (1988, 1991, 1994), BASEketball (1998), Scary Movies 3 (2003), and 4 (2006), and others. David also found time to produce the successful, but somewhat less hilarious A Walk in The Clouds (1995) and Phone Booth (2002), and recently completed a feature script, The Star of Malta, a comedy set in the Film Noir era, and an international spy thriller, "Counter Intellijence!".

⭐The Unsuspected (1947) - Claude Rains in Shadow⭐

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today we're exploring the fascinating world of casting through the perspective of Alan Katz.Alan delved into the complexities of casting Superman, particularly focusing on Christopher Reeve. He explained that casting Superman is unlike any other role—it's not just about acting, but about embodying a character that becomes a part of who you are.Alan reflected on how Christopher Reeve faced immense challenges throughout his career, often feeling confined by the role that made him a household name. Though Reeve was masterful in portraying Superman, the weight of that identity brought its own struggles.As Alan discussed, the industry's perception of actors can both define and restrict them, shaping the kinds of opportunities they receive. He also shed light on the intricate relationships between actors and directors, and how those dynamics can profoundly influence performance.Through Alan's insights, we gain a deeper understanding of the art and burden of becoming an icon—and what it truly means to live in the shadow of a cape.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - Discussing Christopher Reeve's Acting Style00:01:33 - Superman vs Batman: Casting and Acting00:02:50 - The Challenge of Breaking Free from Superman00:04:45 - Discussion on Film Noir and Dylan McDermott00:05:31 - Moving the Series to England00:09:04 - Challenges of Building Sets in England00:10:28 - Craft Services Differences between US and UK00:13:03 - ConclusionCheck out his other podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436⁠⁠⁠https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0441623/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-how-not-to-make-a-movie-podcast/id1616014436⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thedonorpodcast.com/

On a chilly January morning in 1947, officers arrived to what they were told was "a broken mannequin" lying in a field.  They discovered instead, the body of a woman cut completely in half at the waist. She lay naked and drained of blood, her two halves a foot apart, arms draped almost elegantly over her head. Yikes, right? Nearly 80 years later, the case remains both unforgotten and unsolved.  Join Dawn and guest, Kaycee Conlee, as they explore the crime scene and sort through the suspects. ---

In this episode, Jon Taplin— director Emeritus of the Annenberg Innovation Lab at the University of Southern California—joins us to discuss his early years working with Bob Dylan, to his recent research on tech billionaires' growth in legislative influence. Taplin historicizes the changes in media's ties to politics between the McCarthy era to the 2024 election cycle.   The discussion delves into the power of music to spark political thought and changes in people's connection to pop culture during difficult times. We ask whether the media landscape has become more nihilistic and if there is room for local community-driven efforts. Taplin leaves us questioning where the relationship between pop culture and politics will go in America, as the system seems to be limiting the powers of creativity and political disobedience. Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Academic TextsThe End of Reality: How Four Billionaires are Selling a Fantasy Future of the Metaverse, Mars, and Crypto [Amazon]Move Fast and Break Things: How Facebook, Google, and Amazon Cornered Culture and Undermined Democracy [Amazon]The Magic Years: Scenes from a Rock-and-Roll Life [Amazon]People MentionedBob DylanEdward R MurrowRhiannon GiddensJohn Perry BarlowElon MuskJeff BezosPeter ThielCharlie ParkerJohn Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie Paul Butterfield Blues Band Mike BloomfieldAlan LomaxShows, Films, and Other MediaA Complete Unknown IMDB Mean Streets IMDB The Last Waltz IMDBSquid Game watch on NetflixBeast Games watch on PrimeTed Lasso watch on Apple TV+Schitt's Creek watch on Double Indemnity IMDBClipped watch on HuluBreaking Bad IMDBMad Men watch on AMC+Succession watch on MaxThe Wire IMDBHomicide: Life on the Street IMDBHill Street Blues IMDBMatlock (2024) watch on Paramount+Knives Out IMDBGlass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery watch on NetflixColumbo IMDBGrand Theft Auto [YouTube Clips of Trailers for GTA 1-6]The Sopranos IMDB Newport Folk Festival of 1965 Bob Dylan Performance [YouTube clip]FanDuel [Website]Potluck [Website]Virginia Public Radio [Website]Extra Fun Tidbits + NewsWhat does “kayfabe” mean in wrestling?Criterion Channel “Dangerous Work: Cy Endfield, Film Noir, and the Blacklist” series LA Fire Mutual AidLA Community Combats Fires Poker Face Is the New ColumboWhat does culture eats strategy for breakfast mean?Trump vs 60 Minutes Lawsuit and Paramount Merger with Skydance Public Media Defunded  ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Share your thoughts via Twitter with Henry, Colin and the How Do You Like It So Far? account!

In 1948, filming began on a post-war thriller that would become one of the greatest British movies of all time.Directed by Sir Carol Reed, the film captured the atmosphere of a divided, ruined Vienna. But much of its lasting power lies with Orson Welles, whose magnetic, menacing turn as Harry Lime stole the show - despite his limited screen time and reputation for being famously hard to pin down. Phil Jones speaks to production assistant Angela Allen about the film that became legend.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there.

In episode 159, I spoke with Ryan Curtis, an Army veteran and the writer, director, and producer of Hollywood Grit. Ryan shares his journey from growing up in a working-class town outside Boston, serving in the Army during the height of the Global War on Terror, and ultimately finding his calling as a storyteller and director. We dive into his path of learning the movie business the hard way — by doing every job on set so that when the time came to direct, he had the tools, taste, and leadership skills needed to succeed. This episode highlights how veteran discipline, adaptability, and problem-solving translate perfectly into the high-pressure world of film production. We also talk about how Ryan leveraged his military-honed leadership style to build a crew, direct actors, and bring together a creative team capable of producing a full-length Hollywood movie against massive odds, including the pandemic, strikes, funding obstacles, and industry politics. Ryan not only directed and co-wrote Hollywood Grit, a modern neo-noir film set in a jazz club, but he also employed over 50 veterans on set, using his platform to create opportunities for other veterans. We discuss the role of Veterans in Media and Entertainment (VME) in connecting veterans to meaningful work in the movie business and why saying yes to failure is the secret to growth. In this episode: •Post-9/11 deployments •Military to civilian transition and creative career shift •Importance of learning every role on a film set to build experience •Veteran skills (leadership, adaptability) powering film production •Journey to directing and co-writing “Hollywood Grit” •Overcoming pandemic, strikes, and funding woes in independent film production •Hiring other veterans •Value of teamwork, collaboration, and the development of artistic taste •Veterans in Media and Entertainment (VME) as industry gateway Episode Sponsors: VM Merch Go Pills -- use "VM15" at checkout for 15% off your order.

Film Noir. 3 Things Thursday. Secret textoso. 

With the rather welcome release of the 1953 film, Blood Orange making it's spectacular physical media debut courtesy of Hammer Films, here's a reminder of when Ben was mad enough to have a look to see if there were any other orange films and then discovering a crate full...“The House Of Hammer Theme” and incidental music - written and produced by Cev MooreArtwork by Richard Wells All the links you think you'll need & more! https://linktr.ee/househammerpod

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.

One of the best decisions I ever made was to attend the TCM Classic Film Festival and I've done that for several years. There are thousandsof movie fans who feel the same way. This one-of-a-kind event is as much about the community it draws as it is its films, panels, guests, and welcoming TCM hosts. I have spent many hours at the festival with my guests Aurora Bugallo,who writes the Once Upon A Screen blog  and who is active on social media as CitizenScreen and Karen Burroughs Hannsberry who writes the Shadows and Satin blog, iseditor of the bi-monthly film noir publication the Dark Pages Newsletter and is author of Femme Noir: Bad Girls of Film and Bad Boys: The Actors of Film Noir.We had a lot of laughs and even got a bit emotional reminiscing about the manyways our days together in Hollywood were memorable, heartwarming, and even lifechanging.More about Aurora:https://citizenscreen.tumblr.com/https://www.instagram.com/citizenscreenhttps://aurorasginjoint.com/(Once Upon a Screen)  More about Karen:https://shadowsandsatin.wordpress.com/https://www.allthatnoir.com/  Maureen O'Hara at TCMFF 2014:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b30uO1dHjo&list=PLA2C9D52AB7280FC5&index=15 

In the first episode of "Double Identity," we kick off our new film noir podcast series. We thought it'd be fun to bring a high school film teacher and a former Private investigator perspectives together to explore the world of film noir. After some good debate and a few deep cuts, we decide on five films to cover: Laura, The Big Sleep, The Big Heat, Niagara, and the Bob Hope parody My Favorite Brunette. Follow along with us and watch Laura before the next episode.
