Reposted from Still Slaying: A Buffy-verse podcast which you can find at Still Slaying: a Buffy-verse podcast | Podcastica. Fun, in-depth talk about great TV. “Yep. It's not that vampires don't photograph, it's just that they don't photograph *well*.” Penny, Becky and Kara enjoy a trip to 1952 to experience some grade A paranoia in an overtly political episode with a film noir flashback. The conversation ranges from HUAC to iMac laptops and tangents include transparent Y2K tech, inflatable furniture, retro fashion trends, shame, Community, Film Noir tropes, femmes fatale, earworms, New Kids on the Block, Trapper Keepers, What We Do in the Shadows, and friendship. Next time we'll tackle BTVS Season 5, Episode 2, “Real Me.” Keep Slaying!

Sweet Smell of Success (1957) is one of the most visually ruthless films Hollywood ever made — and one that doesn't show up in the conversation as often as it should. We dig into James Wong Howe's New York City cinematography, the Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis dynamic, and what the Library of Congress saw in it when they added it to the National Film Registry.   Since 1989, the National Film Registry has selected 25 films each year that are deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". In each episode, Mike Natale (Yahoo!) and Tom Lorenzo (Men's Journal) bring on a special guest to take a look at one of the films from the registry, to get to the heart of why these films matter.

A time where the likes of Miles Davis and others were composing the soundtracks in some of Europe's most experimental and famous films of Film Noir and Nouvelle Vague (among other genres).

This episode takes a ride down one of film noir's darkest highways with Detour (1945), directed by Edgar G. Ulmer. Often hailed as the ultimate “poverty row” noir, this lean, haunting thriller follows down-on-his-luck pianist Al Roberts as a cross-country trip to reunite with his girlfriend spirals into deception, blackmail, and fatal consequences._____________________________________________________________Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

In the second episode of Tech Film Noir, hosts Lianne Potter, Jeff Watkins, and Simon Painter travel back to 1984 to watch Clippy gone wild in Electric Dreams!*** Regular Compromising Positions Resume on 28th May***This week on Tech Film Noir, we plug ourselves into the strange, synth-soaked world of Electric Dreams — the gloriously weird 1984 cult sci-fi movie where a socially awkward architect, a spilled bottle of champagne on his brand new PC, and an overenthusiastic home computer accidentally create one of cinema's earliest AI love triangles.What starts as a light PG comedy quickly mutates into something far stranger: part rom-com, part techno-thriller, part MTV fever dream. We unpack why the film was massively mismarketed, why Edgar the computer has more chemistry than the actual romance, and why its depiction of AI learning feels surprisingly relevant in the age of generative AI and smart homes.Expect retro tech nostalgia, Commodore 64s, Casio calculator watches, suspiciously British “San Francisco” locations, exploding smart appliances, and plenty of discussion about the iconic Together in Electric Dreams soundtrack from Philip Oakey and Giorgio Moroder.As the song says, “we'll always be together, however far it seems” - which becomes slightly more sinister once your house develops emotional attachment issues.Listen now if you love cult sci-fi, retro tech, AI chaos, and weird 80s cinema.When movies guess the future, we check their work.Ps. Big up the Tech Time Traveller for their great video on the tech in this film

Following the defeat, the narrative takes on a "film noir" quality as the lovers return to Alexandria. Antony fell into deep melancholy, while Cleopatra focused on the survival of her dynasty, even contemplating exile in India. Octavian used the interim to consolidate power and negotiate with Antony's former allies. A treacherous three-way negotiation began, with both Antony and Cleopatra secretly dealing with Octavian while lying to each other. When Octavian finally invaded Egypt in 30 BC, Antony's remaining forces deserted him. Driven by a false report of Cleopatra's suicide, Antony attempted to kill himself and died in her arms on August 1. Cleopatra eventually committed suicide—likely via a cobra bite—to avoid being paraded in a Roman triumph. Octavian immediately secured the Egyptian treasury and ordered the execution of Caesarion, the 16-year-old heir, to eliminate any rival claims to Caesar's legacy. (7/8)CICERO AND FULVIA

El cine nos enseñó a distinguir héroes y villanos con facilidad, pero de pronto esa frontera se volvió borrosa. En este capítulo recorremos el nacimiento del anti-héroe, desde el cine negro hasta las series actuales. Motivos egoístas, ambigüedad moral y puntos de vista que lo cambian todo. Porque en el cine —y fuera de él— no siempre gana el bueno.

Film Noir in all its glory.

Stefan vom Sneakpod und ich schauen uns weiter durch die Geschichte des Film Noirs. Wir sind in der 1980ern angelangt. Hier liefern die Coen-Brothers in ihrem Debüt einen Hybrid ab, der als Film Noir beginnt und als Slasher endet. Warum die Kritikerin Pauline Kael den Film hasste, klären wir genauso wie die Frage, wie viel Talent an seiner Produktion beteiligt war. Natürlich gehen wir unsere Noir-Tropes durch und fragen und verzweifeln am Nihilismus des Films. Es ist kacke und dann wird's immer schlimmer.

Dashiell Hammetts Roman über den hartgesottenen Privatdetektiv Sam Spade war bereits zweimal verfilmt worden, doch erst John Hustons Version mit Humphrey Bogart machte den Stoff unsterblich.

To commemorate the release of Michael, Nick and Bella explore some of the short films (yes, short films... not music videos) from the King of Pop. Jackson helped define this art form and brought the medium to a prominence that no other artist had approached. *Click on the titles of the films to watch them on YouTube*- We start with what is widely considered to be the greatest music video of all time, the horror-inspired Thriller, directed by John Landis. - Legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese directs MJ and Wesley Snipes in the eighteen-minute, street-inspired Bad. - Finally, Technicolor dance pictures, gangster movies, and Film Noir all inspire some of the most unforgettable choreography Michael Jackson ever performed (which is saying a lot) in Smooth Criminal. - Additionally, in Sonja's Movie Minute, you'll hear about her experience and thoughts after attending the LA Premiere of Michael. Let us know what you think of these short films.

In the premiere episode of Tech Film Noir, hosts Lianne Potter, Jeff Watkins, and Simon Painter travel back to 1984 to dissect James Cameron's career-defining masterpiece, The Terminator. *** Regular Compromising Positions Resume on 30th April!***We're putting Arnold's cyborg under the microscope - literally. From the 6502 assembly language hidden in the Terminator's HUD to the ‘Right to Repair' scene that would make a modern technician weep, we explore why this low-budget slasher-turned-sci-fi remains the gold standard for AI storytelling. We also tackle the tough questions: Why does time travel require nudity (and will it encourage us to be ‘beach ready' in the future)? And can we please acknowledge that Kyle Reese saved humanity while wearing deeply questionable, possibly biohazard-level trousers?Whether you're here for the technical deep dive into Agentic AI or the high-octane roast of Terminator: Genisys, this episode has enough 80s nostalgia to power a Walkman for a decade.Stick around to the end for our completely serious (not serious) food and drink pairings.When movies guess the future, we check their work.Subscribe here:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@TechFilmNoirSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7tb4fGTPsLO8ZxOeJMZV8U?si=2ddc9cd5153a44bcApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/tech-film-noir-a-technology-and-film-podcast/id1892857131

Matt and Eric drain all the color from their faces, diving into the first of two Steven Spielberg/TomCruise collabs, MINORITY REPORT - a future noir about the dangers of arresting people for nothing. So, you know, not relevant in 2026 at all. 

for the full episode join the Patreon [patreon.com/fashiongrunge] This is one of those films that hits you like a ton of 'bricks' (ha). When I first saw the trailer on a "Focus Features" DVD I knew this was one that I had to see. In Rian Johnson's directorial debut, this modern film noir weaves quite a knot that slowly unties throughout the course of the story. Joseph Gordon-Levitt carries every scene which reminded me of his other indie films in the early 00s that I loved so much. I get into why this story and visual style reminds me of Donnie Darko, how Focus Features was equivalent to A24 back in the day, the minimal normie yet important fashion, and try to work out the illogical parts of what the hell was actually going on.

Double Indemnity, as much as any other movie, invented the film noir genre and is possibly the most imitated, spoofed and remade classic of all time. Yet, on re-watching it, we as hosts were  truly surprised: Double Indemnity defies expectations, and as much as being a template for the Film Noir genre it helped birth, it is also a template for the singularly witty and cynical voice of the great Billy Wilder. Wilder's record-breaking writer/director career defied genre expectations with satiric comedies, ground-breaking dramas and films like The Apartment that walk a tightrope between the two. With Double Indemnity, he took a lurid news story about a homicidal wife and, with screenwriter Raymond Chandler, turned it into a taboo-crossing tale of sex and betrayal that spotlights darkest Los Angeles while casting shade on modern American life. Do these qualities pierce through eight decades of parody, imitation and meme? To judge by our young panel's responses, the answer is both yes and no. Hear for yourself if and how this 20th century classic survives 21st century perception.   Hosts: Mark Netter, David Tausik Panelists: Guy Lewis, Olive Goldberg, Sonia Howell, Brennan Guntang An ElectraCast Production   Wikipedia:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Indemnity IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036775/ Rotten Tomatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/double_indemnity Original Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKrrAa2o9Eg Learn more about your ad choices.

⭐Between Midnight and Dawn (1950) - Buddy-Cop Film Noir (Plot Synopsis) ⭐

Coming off a wonderful Valentine's weekend getaway the couple's view of life returns to the regular rythms of life. Reflecting on the Cedar Crest Lodge fun, Olympic angst and triumph, musical memories, under the radar film noir, iconic figures, and other lively topics. Come on along!

In this video, Chris and Gerry explore the fascinating life and career of Yvonne De Carlo, the glamorous star who conquered Hollywood epics, film noir, Westerns, and television comedy. From her breakout roles in 1940s Universal adventures to her powerful performance as Sephora in The Ten Commandments, De Carlo proved she was far more than a studio contract player. We also dive into her unforgettable turn as Lily Munster ion the cult classic TV series The Munsters, a role that introduced her to a whole new generation of fans. If you love classic Hollywood, vintage television, and deep-dive film history, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Houselights, we turn our attention to Michael Curtiz's 1955 curiosity, "We're No Angels." We look at how this stagey, talky comedy-drama attempts to wring charm out of three Devil's Island escapees with dubious intentions and a convenient snake. From Humphrey Bogart navigating an unusual comedic register to the film's odd tonal balancing act, this discussion picks apart what works, what strains, and why the movie occupies such a strange corner of the Curtiz catalog. Join us as we sit with this uneven but oddly watchable holiday misfit.

Intricate storytelling, unforgettable characters, and the cultural impact that has cemented Casablanca's status as one of the greatest films of all time. Analysis of the film's production challenges, its iconic dialogue, and the performances that continue to resonate with audiences. Whether you're revisiting this classic or discovering it anew, our discussion offers fresh perspectives and a deeper appreciation for Michael Curtiz's enduring work.

You can find Christina Henry at christinahenry.net or on IG  @authorchristinahenry    In this week's episode, our focus is on houses that are so important to a story that they essentially become a character. When we started thinking about this idea, we realized that Chicago writer Christina Henry would be a perfect guest because her last two novels are focused on houses. Her most recent is titled The Place Where They Buried Your Heart and is about a neighborhood house that lures people in, causing heartache for neighbors as well as a sense of family among a handful of them. Prior to this novel, Christina wrote The House That Horror Built. We talk to Christina about the importance of houses in her stories and how a house can straddle setting and character.    In our book rec section, we continue the house idea with a range of titles in which houses are critically important—-we've got a memoir, a National Book Award winner, children's fantasy, classic literature, and propulsive literary fiction.   Books Mentioned in this Episode:   1- The Place Where They Buried Your Heart by Christina Henry 2- The House That Horror Built by Christina Henry  3- Howards End by E.M.

How does Film Noir show us terrible people doing terrible things without endorsing it? Mel and Chas continue to explore what Noir (the genre) can teach writers of all other genres. In particular: how to keep the audience on side of characters doing reprehensible things how to control your audience understanding of those reprehensible actions distinguishing between characters undergoing transformative arcs against discovering their true natures In finding the common craft tools of Noir over 100 years, this Part 2 looks at two modern noirs - DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS (1995) and WOMAN OF THE HOUR (2024) - after Part 1 looked at the classic DOUBLE INDEMNITY and THE LONG GOODBYE. As always: SPOILERS ABOUND and all copyright material used under fair use for educational purposes.

We explore how Mitchum's screen persona, off-screen reputation, and unmistakable presence helped redefine masculinity in classic cinema. Join us as we revisit his most iconic roles, discuss his lasting influence on generations of actors, and celebrate why Robert Mitchum remains one of the most fascinating and timeless figures in Hollywood history.

Send us a textIn this episode, we dive into The Killers (1946), the classic film noir starring Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner, as we review its Criterion Collection release. We break down what makes Robert Siodmak's adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway story a cornerstone of film noir, from its fatalistic tone and fractured structure to its iconic performances and lasting influence on the genre. We also share brief thoughts on the 1964 version of The Killers, discussing how it differs in style and approach without turning the episode into a full comparison. A must-listen for noir fans and Criterion collectors alike.Oh Brother Podcast: Support the Show!

What can Film Noir teach us about character arcs and audience engagement? In this two part series, Mel and Chas use Noir (the genre) as a lens to interrogate flawed characters. How can characters doing reprehensible things still engage audiences? How can you ensure representation isn't endorsement? And whether these characters undergo transformative arcs, or simply reveal their true natures? Part 1 focuses on two (now classic) noirs: DOUBLE INDEMNITY and THE LONG GOODBYE. While Part 2 looks at two more contemporary examples DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESs and WOMAN OF THE HOUR. As always: SPOILERS ABOUND and all copyright material used under fair use for educational purposes.

I am delighted to welcome back a friend of the Sewers, film critic and holiday aficionado, Linoleum Knife's Alonso Duralde. His book, Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas, is now out in a revised and updated edition, gathering even more expert recommendations for holiday films to enjoy this season and year-round. We chatted about how Christmas movies have changed since he wrote the first edition of his book, fifteen years ago, and what the future of holiday films might be. And also why he's been baking Christmas cookies all year long.And before we get to that, a quick heads up that I have a new YouTube video coming at the end of this month about the powerful gay magic behind The Wizard of Oz and Wicked.
