As you'll hear in this 646th dose of Have You Ever Seen, The Postman Always Rings Twice is thought of by many to be the epitome of film noir. Tay Garnett's sexy thriller based on James M Cain's book gives us passion, lust, deceit, betrayal and death, so it hits those vital marks to be a key part of this genre. Lana Turner is the lady in white who gets her employee John Garfield to kill for her. She's the standout between the two of them, but is she really the baddest of all femme fatales? Tune into this one-Ryan show about The Postman Always Rings Twice to find out! Well, Actually: at the 4:35 mark, it should have been "Cora eventually falls hard for drifter Frank", not "drifter Nick".

What d'ya hear? What d'ya say?Welcome to our 9th Trilogies episode, Film Noir edition. We hope you enjoyed our last episode where we looked at The Dark Knight Trilogy from Christopher Nolan. We are getting the podcast back on track after a few weeks/months away. As it is November aka Noirvember, we thought we would have a Film Noir themed episode. This trilogies episode is a little different from the rest. We of course will be looking at three films, but we're making our own trilogy. The films we will discuss are not connected per se as in Film 1, 2 and 3. No, they stand alone films though they are connected by a single character. That character is Detective Philip Marlowe, a private investigator created by author Raymond Chandler. Along with Dashiell Hammett and James M. Cain, Chandler was one of the great writers of pulp hard-boiled detective crime fiction. The films we will be discussing are some of our favourites. Murder My Sweet (1944) directed by Edward Dmytryk, The Big Sleep (1946) directed by Howard Hawks and The Long Goodbye (1973) directed by Robert Altman. Each film depicts Los Angeles in a different style, tone and, in Altman's case, time period. More importantly, they interpret Marlowe in their own unique way and as well as the source material. Dick Powell, Humphrey Bogart and Elliott Gould all bring something different and new for their performances as Philip Marlowe. We hope you continue to enjoy this new Trilogies Series we're doing and we also hope you enjoy this episode.Stay Tuned for more!Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen in the western The Outlaws which is a available to watch in the US, Finland & the UK on Amazon and Apple TV for example.

The boys head to 1995 to discuss ‘Leaving Las Vegas', Nicolas Cage's Oscar-winning role, and whether or not there can be such a thing as too much jazz scatting in a film score. We set the scene, give you some context of world and film news from 1995, and sink our teeth into a productive conversation about this emotional film about an alcoholic (Cage) and his prostitute friend, Elizabeth Shue. Dave opens the episode with a mini-review of ‘Borderlands,' the Eli Roth video game series adaptation that critics and audiences shunned, despite starring huge names: Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Jamie Lee Curtis!

Las series que comenta esta semana Juan Luis Álvarez son de llorar porque hacen llorar. No porque sean malas, aunque últimamente cada vez hay más “de llorar”, pero de estas últimas. Y de las películas, mejor no hablar. El tatuador de Auschwitz (Movistar Plus + Miniserie 6 episodios) El amor sobrevivirá, como explica el tema central musical de esta serie interpretado por Barbra Steisand, aún en las circunstancias tan desesperanzadas que unen a un joven judío al que obligan a tatuar números a sus compañeros y una de las prisioneras. De lo mejor del año. Normal People (Prime Video Mini serie 12 episodios) Imposible que no se escape alguna lágrima con el romance a través de los años de dos jóvenes irlandeses que se conocen en el instituto, se aman, descubren el sexo, se abandonan, se unen a otras parejas, se hacen amigos y solo amigos... Menos es más en esta historia magníficamente interpretada por Daisy Edgar Jones y Paul Mescal, el hombre de moda. Mildred Pierce (HBO Max Miniserie 5 episodios) Kate Winslet se ganó un Emmy al protagonizar para televisión este relato de James M. Cain, maestro del género negro, que le valió a Joan Crawford su único Oscar. Pierce es una mujer burguesa que tiene que servir como camarera para dar de comer a sus hijas durante la Gran Depresión. Una de ellas, pese a todos sus sacrificios, le hace la vida imposible y la desprecia hasta extremos insospechados.

Forgive a film noir detour during our international vacation season. This is episode 100, and so I’ve picked a movie I love, and that feels right in the collective LTS wheelhouse. James M. Cain’s story of betrayal and murder was directed by Billy Wilder, and stars Barbara Stanwyck (natch), Fred McMurray and Edward G. Robinson. This film is full of dynamite lines, crazy sexual chemistry, and noir lighting for days. Shelly Brisbin with David J. Loehr, Nathan Alderman, Micheline Maynard, Annette Wierstra and Randy Dotinga.

We're saluting James M. Cain - one of the fathers of hard-boiled crime fiction - with two of his stories recreated for radio. First, James Cagney plays a rising racketeer who takes advantage of a crusading reformer in "Love's Lovely Counterfeit" from Suspense (originally aired on CBS on January 17, 1948). Then, Burt Lancaster and Joan Bennett plot a murder and a swindle in "Double Indemnity" from The Ford Theatre (originally aired on CBS on October 15, 1948).

Guest Narrator: Michael Rutland, Austin, Tx. James M. Cain (1892-1977) was an American novelist, journalist, and screenwriter best known for his hardboiled crime fiction. Born in Annapolis, Maryland, Cain began his career as a journalist, working for The Baltimore Sun and The New Yorker. His experiences as a reporter heavily influenced his writing style, which was characterized by its directness, realism, and unflinching exploration of human nature's darker aspects. Cain's life was marked by personal struggles and failed marriages, which often found their way into his fiction, adding depth and authenticity to his characters and their predicaments. Cain is considered one of the founding fathers of both the noir and hardboiled crime fiction genres. His novels, such as "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (1934) and "Double Indemnity" (1943), helped define these genres with their gritty, realistic portrayals of crime, passion, and betrayal. Cain's writing style, which favored sharp, concise prose and dialogue, set the standard for future generations of crime writers. His work also found success in Hollywood, with several of his novels being adapted into classic films noir, including "Double Indemnity" (1944) and "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (1946), further cementing his legacy in the genre. While often used interchangeably, noir and hardboiled fiction have distinct characteristics. Hardboiled fiction typically features a tough, cynical protagonist, often a private detective or a criminal, navigating a corrupt and violent world. The emphasis is on action, dialogue, and the protagonist's struggle against external forces. In contrast, noir fiction delves deeper into the psychological depths of its characters, exploring themes of moral ambiguity, existentialism, and the inescapable consequences of one's actions. Cain's work often blurred the lines between these two genres, combining the gritty realism of hardboiled fiction with the psychological complexity and fatalism of noir. Dead Man In the powerful short story "Dead Man," James M. Cain showcases his mastery of the noir genre. The story follows a desperate man who accidentally kills a railroad detective and is subsequently consumed by guilt and paranoia. As the protagonist attempts to establish an alibi and evade capture, he finds himself engaged in a psychological battle with his own conscience, which proves to be just as relentless as the authorities pursuing him. Cain's signature style is on full display in "Dead Man," with its taut, economical prose, vivid characterization, and uncompromising exploration of guilt and desperation. The story serves as a testament to Cain's ability to craft complex, emotionally charged narratives within the confines of the short story format. The figure of the rail-riding hobo has long been a staple of American fiction, representing a sense of freedom, adventure, and escape from the constraints of society. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as the United States underwent rapid industrialization and urbanization, many writers turned to the hobo as a symbol of resistance against the dehumanizing effects of modern life. Authors such as Jack London, John Dos Passos, and Jack Kerouac celebrated the hobo's unconventional lifestyle and spirit of rebellion. In "Dead Man," James M. Cain offers a darker take on this iconic figure, depicting the protagonist's life as a rail-riding hobo as a desperate, precarious existence. By placing his character in this context, Cain not only taps into a rich literary tradition but also subverts it, exposing the harsh realities and psychological toll of life on the margins of society. James M. Cain's paternal grandfather, P. W. Cain, worked as a superintendent for the Hartford Railroad. This connection to the railway industry likely influenced James M. Cain's writing, giving him at least an interest in the railroads and those who lived on and around them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
This week we have “Love's Lovely Counterfeit,” an episode of Suspense that first aired on January 17, 1948. It stars James Cagney and is based on a novel of the same name by James M. Cain. Find more from Brick Pickle Pulps at https://brickpicklemedia.com/podcasts/.
In this ambitious research-filled exploration of one of Italian cinema's most fascinating & influential figures, Canadian actor-writer-podcaster Robert Bellissimo returns to the podcast to discuss the singularly daring maestro Luchino Visconti. An aristocratic count turned Socialist who fought the Nazis as a member of the Italian Resistance & was sentenced to death before fate & history intervened & he was eventually able to testify & help sentence to death the man who tortured him during WWII, Luchino Visconti is a man who lived a thousand lifetimes before he became one of the most acclaimed & groundbreaking directors of the twentieth century.The man behind arguably the first Neorealist feature, the film noir OSSESSIONE (which was made before Hollywood adapted the same James M. Cain novel as THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE), in this rich episode, we discuss three of his towering, staggeringly beautiful, & emotionally devastating works, including ROCCO AND HIS BROTHERS (which inspired both THE GODFATHER & RAGING BULL), THE LEOPARD, & DEATH IN VENICE. Delving into the history, significance, analysis, text, & subtext of these remarkable movies, this is a conversation to listen to with a notebook as it might send you on the hunt for more incredible features.Robert's Bio: Robert Bellissimo is an actor, acting teacher, and YouTube video podcaster. He is also an ongoing contributor to two Toronto film critics' websites, IN THE SEATS and SCREENFISH. Robert's YouTube channel - Robert Bellissimo at the Movies - is an exploration of all things cinema, which includes reviews and in-depth interviews with guests who work in film.Originally Posted on Patreon (3/26/24) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/101108059Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music ArchiveShop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless Shop
We're wrapping up our first full week of THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR and you can call it a FEMME FATALE FRIDAY FEAST with a cold side of murder. The original platinum blonde, Lana Turner, is in deep with a wily drifter and they set in motion a plot of murder so that her sad sap husband can be out of the picture while they move on with their happy lives. We're talking about Tay Garnett's 1946 adaptation of the steamy James M. Cain novel “THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE”. It stars Lana Turner, John Garfield, Cecil Kellaway & Hume Cronyn. Will these tragic lovers find a way to be together or will their desperation be their undoing? Shout out to that cat, by the way. It really stole the show. Absolutely wild how it just climbed the step ladder like that. I love cats. They're always up to something.

This week I discuss the most well-known and reviled Femme Fatale in film history: Phyllis Dietrichson, played by one of the most well-respected and loved actresses in American film: Barbara Stanwyck. The 1944 film noir Double Indemnity is one of the shiniest, most monied film noirs produced in its time. The film is based on James M. Cain's book of the same name. The story itself is inspired by a true crime that is so American it smells like apple pie and fresh blood. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/madelaine-jane-auble/message
In the Coen canon, it's almost the film that wasn't there. Audiences didn't show up for it, but The Man Who Wasn't There remains a favorite among critics and fans of film noir. The Coen Brothers have paid tribute to Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler in the past, but here it's the hard-boiled naturalistic fiction of James M. Cain that inspired the film. It's also the Coen Brothers first black & white film, and it's hard to imagine this movie any other way. To shine some light in the darkness, we've enlisted the help of the "Czar of Noir" Eddie Muller, host of TCM's "Noir Alley," and author of the book "Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir."

“Personally, Veda's convinced me that alligators have the right idea. They eat their young.” Break out the shoulder pads, because we finally got to Mildred Pierce (1945) this week with our good friend Jackson Cooper. In the role of Joan Crawford's career, she's perfection. Going from a down on her luck housewife, to restaurateur, Mildred is the fierce working girl that we all strive to be. Crawford won her first and only Oscar for Mildred Pierce, and is regarded as one of the great leading lady performances of classical Hollywood cinema. This supporting cast is also a barnburner. First we get the brilliant sass of Eve Arden as no-nonsense front of the house restaurant manager Ida. Seriously how did Arden not end up with the best supporting actress Oscar here? It's the textbook defination of a scene stealing performance! Ann Blyth is also perfectly cast as Milldred's Bad Seed daughter Veda. We too want to slap that rotten girl silly! And the handsome Zachary Scott's Monte Beragon fills out those old timey swim trunks nicely. We talk the changes from James M. Cain's novel to the big screen, fitting into more of a classic film noir story, as well as the 2011 HBO miniseries directed by Todd Haynes that follows the novel closer. We will never not be obsessed with how glamorous Joan looks in that stunning fur coat, and this movie will forever be iconic Slap Cinema! "The kind of women most men want - but shouldn't have!" It's Mildred Pierce!

A staple of the first-person confessional, James M Cain's debut novel has really lasted the test of time. Now knocking on 90 years of age, "The Postman Always Rings Twice" delivers a ruthless plot at an unforgiving pace. Frank Chambers is an unemployed rambler possessed of a loose moral compass and an appetite for opportunity. Once he drifts upon the Twin Oaks Tavern and into the life of the restless Cora Papadakis things will never be the same again. So, flip the sign and lock the door - it's closing time at the diner but happy hour for another LTP literary investigation!
Born in Portland, Oregon to Don and Wilda Plympton, he grew up in a large family of three girls and three boys. For the six children it was often far too wet to play outside. Plympton credits Oregon's rainy climate for nurturing his drawing skills and imagination. He also was a cub scout and played little league when the weather permitted. In 1964 he graduated from Oregon City High School where he participated in the art club. He went on to Portland State University, where he edited the yearbook and was a member of the film society, creating posters for them. It was here where he picked up his obsession for film – it was for this film society that he first attempted animation, making a yearbook promo that was accidentally shot upside-down, rendering it totally useless. To avoid the Vietnam War, Plympton served in the National Guard from 1967 to 1972. In 1968, he moved to New York City and began a year of study at the School of Visual Arts. Making the Big Apple his home, Plympton served 15 years as an illustrator and cartoonist. Between toting his portfolio and catching cheap matinees, he designed the magazines: Cineaste, Filmmakers Newsletter, and Film Society Review. His illustrations have graced the pages of The New York Times, Vogue, House Beautiful, The Village Voice, Screw, and Vanity Fair. His cartoons appeared in such magazines as Viva, Penthouse, Rolling Stone, National Lampoon, and Glamour. In 1975, in The Soho Weekly News, he began “Plympton,” a political cartoon strip. By 1981, it was syndicated in over twenty papers by Universal Press Syndicate. All his life, Bill Plympton has been fascinated by animation. When he was fourteen, he sent Disney some of his cartoons and offered up his services as animator. They wrote back and told him that while his drawings showed promise, he was too young. It wasn't until 1983 that he was approached to animate a film. The Android Sister Valeria Wasilewski asked Plympton to direct and animate a film she was producing of Jules Feiffer's song, “Boomtown.” Connie D'Antuono, another of the film's producers, “sort of held my hand through the whole process,” Plympton says. “It was a great way to learn to make a film.” Immediately following the completion of “Boomtown,” he began his own animated film, “Drawing Lesson # 2.” Production of the live action scenes was slow due to inclement weather, so Plympton decided to start on another film. For this one, he contacted Maureen McElheron, an old friend with whom he had performed in a Country Western Band (he played pedal steel guitar), and she agreed to score “Your Face.” Due to budgetary considerations, she also sang. Her voice, eerily decelerated to sound more masculine, combined with a fantastically contorting visage helped garner the film a 1988 Oscar nomination for best animated short. “Suddenly people began returning my phone calls,” remembers Plympton. He became very hot in the commercial business doing spots for such clients as Trivial Pursuit, Nutrasweet, Taco Bell, AT&T, Nike, Geico, United Airlines and Mercedes-Benz. His work also started appearing with more and more frequency on MTV and in the increasingly popular touring animation festivals. After a string of highly successful short films (“One of Those Days,” “How to Kiss,” “25 Ways to Quit Smoking,” and “Plymptoons”), he began thinking about making a feature film. His shorts were winning prizes like crazy and he wanted a new challenge – and, as he puts it, “I'd wanted to make a full-length movie ever since I was a kid.” What came to be called THE TUNE was financed entirely by the animator himself. Sections of the feature were released as short films to help generate funds for production. These include “The Wiseman” and “Push Comes to Shove,” the latter of which won the 1991 Prix du Jury at the Cannes Film Festival. With money from his short film prizes and commercial work, he was able to complete THE TUNE and realize a childhood dream. The completed TUNE also made the rounds of the film festivals, garnering the prestigious Houston WorldFest Gold Jury Special Award as well as a Spirit Award nomination for Best Film Score and was distributed nationally by October Films. After personally drawing and coloring 30,000 cels for THE TUNE, Plympton moved to live-action. J. LYLE, his first live-action feature, is a wacky, surreal comedy about a sleazy lawyer who meets a magical talking dog that changes his life. “Making THE TUNE, I had a lot of ideas I realized wouldn't work with animation, but would be lots of fun with real people! I took those ideas and made J. LYLE. Besides, my hand needed a rest after drawing THE TUNE.” After a successful festival circuit, J. LYLE was released in theaters around the country. Like THE TUNE, J. LYLE was financed entirely by the animator himself. Plympton's second live-action feature, GUNS ON THE CLACKAMAS, a behind-the-scenes look at an imaginary disastrous Western, was shot in Oregon and New York. Plympton says the idea came from the 1937 movie “Saratoga”, in which star Jean Harlow died during the filming and a stand-in was used to finish. “It was supposed to be a drama,” says Plympton, “but it ended up being funny. Every time Harlow was in a scene, a box or something blocked the view.” As with J. LYLE,GUNS ON THE CLACKAMAS got a limited theatrical release. In 1996, Bill Plympton followed “Mala Noche” writer Walt Curtis around his Portland hometown to record him reading his poetry. This outrageous performance film hit the festival circuit in 1997 to stunned audiences. It is entitled WALT CURTIS, PECKERNECK POET. In 1998, Bill returned to animation with I MARRIED A STRANGE PERSON. It's a heartwarming story of a newlywed couple on their wedding night. Grant, the husband, starts experiencing strange, supernatural powers and Kerry, his wife, can't cope. Whenever Grant thinks of something, it becomes reality, yet he doesn't know where these magical powers come from. Once again Bill Plympton single-handedly drew and financed an animated feature extravaganza – only this time for adults and the politically incorrect. It was released by Lions Gate Films to good box office numbers and still plays today on cable TV. Bill's next animated feature, MUTANT ALIENS, the story of a stranded astronaut returning to Earth after 20 years in space, was completed in January 2001 and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. It won the Grand Prix in Annecy 2001 and was released in theatres in 2002. It has played all over the world to huge audiences. Bill's feature film, HAIR HIGH, is a gothic '50s high-school comedy about a love-triangle that goes terribly bad, with two young, murdered teens returning to their prom to get revenge. It stars the voice talents of Sarah Silverman, David & Keith Carradine, and Dermot Mulroney, and was co-produced by Martha Plimpton. Plympton charted new territory in animation, this time by broadcasting all of his drawing for the film live on the web at www.hairhigh.com. The film was completed in January 2004, released in over 50 cinemas around the country – and was released on DVD. Bill's short film GUARD DOG has been a hit at film festivals and it brought Bill his second Oscar nomination in January 2005. Two equally successful sequels soon followed, “Guide Dog” in 2006 and “Hot Dog” in 2008. Throughout his career, Bill has always made 2 to 3 short films a year that keep bringing in a solid income from sales around the world. His feature film, IDIOTS AND ANGELS, was completed in 2008 and after a successful run on the film festival circuit, was released in U.S. theaters in 2010. The film features the music of Tom Waits, Pink Martini, Nicole Renaud and Maureen McElheron, and no dialogue. It's a much more mysterious film than his previous ones, a dark comedy about a man's battle for his soul. “Because this film has no dialogue,” Plympton says, “I wanted music to play throughout – almost like a long opera – or an extended string of music videos. The look of the film is very Eastern European – something like what Jan Svankmayer might make, or David Lynch if he made animation – very dark and surreal.” Bill waited a little while before starting his next feature, and used the time to release several successful short films, such as THE COW WHO WANTED TO BE A HAMBURGER, SUMMER BUMMER andDRUNKER THAN A SKUNK. But eventually his plans returned to feature-length animation, and he started work on CHEATIN', the story of two lovers, Jake and Ella, who encounter jealousy and insecurity after their perfect courtship. Partially inspired by the works of James M. Cain, and partially inspired by a past relationship, CHEATIN' is a tale of exaggerated passion and star-crossed lovers, exploring the dual nature of how two people immensely attracted to each other can also want to kill each other at the same time. CHEATIN‘ may also be the first animated feature partially funded on Kickstarter, with loyal Plympton fans kicking in over $100,000 needed to finish it. Plympton's movies have won him such a loyal following that the cable channel Shorts HD bought the rights to his entire library and set up a Bill Plympton channel on iTunes, something he hopes will engage a whole new generation of fans. Bill is currently working on finishing HITLER'S FOLLY, a mock-umentary about Adolf Hitler's love of animation. He's directing and drawing another film called REVENGEANCE, written by animator Jim Lujan, which is also being partially funded through a Kickstarter campaign.
In which the Mister joins me in reviewing DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944), currently available to buy/rent on Prime. The film is based on the novel from James M. Cain, screenplay by Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler and is directed by Billy Wilder. The story follows Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray), an L.A. insurance salesman who meets Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck) during a house call to see about an existing client renewing a policy. Walter soon finds himself swept up in a plan to murder, collect the insurance and skip town with the femme fatale but things don't go as planned. This film is a MUST WATCH. The film has a run time of 1 h and 47 m and is not rated. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review. This episode of the podcast is dedicated to the lovely Angie!

In this special bonus episode, I chat with author (and dear friend of the show) Jordan Harper about his newly released novel EVERYBODY KNOWS. Featuring an extra special guest star Rob Belushi providing the introduction. Thank you so much for the ongoing support!One Heat Minute ProductionsWEBSITE: oneheatminute.comTWITTER: @OneBlakeMinute & @OHMPodsMERCH: https://www.teepublic.com/en-au/stores/one-heat-minute-productionABOUT JORDAN HARPER: Jordan is the Edgar-Award-winning author of She Rides Shotgun and Love and Other Wounds. Born and educated in Missouri, he now lives in Los Angeles, where he works as a writer and producer for television.TWITTER: @JORDAN_HARPERNEWSLETTER: WELCOME TO THE HAMMER PARTYABOUT EVERYBODY KNOWSTruth may be stranger than fiction but sometimes fiction predicts the truth. Jordan Harper's new book EVERYBODY KNOWS is a combination of both. A propulsive LA crime thriller that James Patterson dubbed “the best mystery novel I've read in years,” is the story of Mae Pruett a "black-bag publicist" - she doesn't get the good news out, she keeps the bad news in – who works for “The Beast,” her name for the loose collection of lawyers, publicists and private security firms who protect and serve the wealthy and depraved of Los Angeles.Chris Tamburro is Mae's ex, a former cop fired for corruption and a fist on the Beast's arm, working as muscle for a shady lawyer. They must both confront the bad things they aid and abet when Mae's boss is gunned down in front of the Beverly Hills Hotel, dying with a secret Mae is determined to learn. Unraveling the mystery of her boss's death takes them through an electric, pulpy vision of Los Angeles, a world of homeless camp bombers, drug-addled celebrities, cop gangs who mark their kills with tattoos, a livestreamed murder, and powerful men with a secret so dark they will kill to keep it.Much of the novel is based Jordan's experiences and those of his friends and co-workers in the film and TV industry, and the whisper network of Los Angeles, “Nobody Talks but Everybody Whispers.” To be authentic Jordan wrote the opening scene about Mae having to visit a client at The Chateau Marmot, at the Chateau Marmot. Every celebrity sighting in the book is based on a real sighting he had had in the actual place he had it. Jordan also interviewed a crisis manager who represented one of the biggest villains of the MeToo era and sat down with a Hollywood actress to talk about the pressures of her life. There are literally dozens of scandals and real-life crimes that are fictionalized in the novel, from the publicist gunned down on Sunset Blvd. to the firebombing of homeless camps and many, many more.Incredible early praise for EVERYBODY KNOWS“EVERYBODY KNOWS rages through the City of Angels like a broken-dam flood. It's got it all, but most of all it's got deep insight. It's the book everybody's been waiting for.”—Michael Connelly"Just as Ellory mastered the atavistic heart of 1950's corruption, soJordan Harper has mastered articulating the Day-Glo Technicolor nightmare that is postmodern Los Angeles. EVERYBODY KNOWS is filled with ballsy movers and shakers, of course, but also plastic social media influencers, high-rent hoods, nihilistic cops, and the sorts of lost souls you'll never forget.EVERYBODY KNOWS is an absolute tour de force, a trip through an exclusive alluring Hell where everyone gets what they want and just what they deserve.”—SA Cosby, bestselling author of RAZORBLADE TEARS and BLACKTOP WASTELAND“What a ride! If it were possible for James Ellroy and James M. Cain to produce a bastard love child, it would be EVERYBODY KNOWSby Jordan Harper. Awash in substance abuse, sex and demented violence, this is the LA of a good drug trip turned very bad.”—Dennis Lehane, bestselling author of MYSTIC RIVER and SHUTTER ISLAND“With EVERYBODY KNOWS, Jordan Harper takes on the Beast—the monstrous, corrupt, insatiable mass of organs that eats the losers and feeds the winners in capitalist America, with Hollywood as its base of operations. Our guides to this world (our world) are two of its own dirty players, a celebrity publicist with killer instincts and an ex-cop goon for hire, looking for survival and money and maybe, if it's in the cards, a little bit of redemption.It's a juggernaut of a novel, fast and high-impact, with a sense of doomed humor and bright, sharp teeth.”—Steph Cha, LA Times Book Prize-winning author of YOUR HOUSE WILL PAY“Good lord, this book is fantastic. EVERYBODY KNOWSis one of the best LA noir novels I've ever read.The writing is astonishingly good. It's a wild, honest, sharp, and suspenseful ride, full of wry observations about the nature of power and the cost of being good in a bad, bad world." —Attica Locke, bestselling author of HEAVEN, MY HOME and BLUEBIRD, BLUEBIRD"Searing, timely, sprawling, EVERYBODY KNOWS pulls back Hollywood's velvet curtain, exposing the sordid machinations on which the industry runs and the seamy complicity which keeps it humming.This is L.A. noir at its most incendiary." —Megan Abbott, bestselling author of THE TURNOUT“Jordan Harper writers like he's L.A.'s avenging angel.EVERYBODY KNOWS is timely. It's timeless.It's a knockout punch.” —James Kestrel, author of the Edgar Award-winning FIVE DECEMBERS“EVERYBODY KNOWS is the best mystery novel I've read in years…Jordan Harper writes sentences, and in this case an entire book, that is both terrifying and exhilarating.” —James PattersonSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

A classic noir novel about a young drifter who falls for the discontented wife of a diner owner, and the dilemma that ensues as they fight for each other and their lives.

Double Indemnity (1944) Double Indemnity is a 1944 American crime film noir directed by Billy Wilder, co-written by Wilder and Raymond Chandler, and produced by Buddy DeSylva and Joseph Sistrom. The screenplay was based on James M. Cain's 1943 novel of the same title, which appeared as an eight-part serial for the Liberty magazine in February 1936. The film stars Fred MacMurray as an insurance salesman, Barbara Stanwyck as a provocative housewife who is accused of killing her husband, and Edward G. Robinson as a claims adjuster whose job is to find phony claims. The term "double indemnity" refers to a clause in certain life insurance policies that doubles the payout in cases when the death is accidental. Praised by many critics when first released, the film was nominated for seven Academy Awards but did not win any. Widely regarded as a classic, it often is cited as having set the standard for film noir. Basic Instinct (1992) Basic Instinct is a 1992 neo-noir erotic thriller film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Joe Eszterhas. The film follows San Francisco police detective Nick Curran (Michael Douglas), who is investigating the brutal murder of a wealthy rock star. During the investigation, Curran becomes involved in a torrid and intense relationship with the prime suspect, Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone), an enigmatic writer. Eszterhas developed the script in the 1980s. It became a subject of a bidding war until Carolco Pictures acquired the rights to the film. From there, Verhoeven signed on to direct and Douglas and Stone joined the project, after many actresses were considered for the role of Tramell. Before its release, Basic Instinct generated controversy due to its overt sexuality and violence, including a rape scene. Gay rights activists criticized the film's depiction of homosexual relationships and the portrayal of a bisexual woman as a murderous psychopath. In one scene, Stone's vulva was filmed as she crossed her legs, which she claimed was done without her knowledge, a claim denied by the director. There are several cuts available.

The Great American Novel podcast is an ongoing discussion about the novels we hold up as significant achievements in our American literary culture. Additionally, we sometimes suggest novels who should break into the sometimes problematical canon and at other times we'll suggest books which can be dropped from such lofty consideration. Your hosts are Kirk Curnutt and Scott Yarbrough, professors with little time and less sense who nonetheless enjoy a good book banter. For this 16th episode we went a different route and discuss a smorgasbord of fine American Noir, novels about detectives and criminals and femme fatales and button men, gunsels and grifters, sharps and snakes. We discuss works by Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, Raymond Chandler, Dorothy B. Hughes, Vera Caspary, Patricia Highsmith, Chester Himes, Jim Thompson, and Horace McCoy. Film audio clips are from Double Indemnity (Billy Wilder, 1944) and The Big Sleep (Howard Hawkes, 1946). All show music is by Lobo Loco. The intro song is “Old Ralley”; the intermission is “The First Moment,” and the outro is “Inspector Invisible.” For more information visit: https://locolobomusic.com/.We may be contacted at greatamericannovelpodcast (@) gmail.com.

He has been an Associate Editor for Space and Time Magazine as well as the Editor of the horror/suspense anthology, Tales From a Darker State. One of his stories has recently been filmed as a short movie. Fiction of his can be found in approximately 60 magazines and anthologies from 3 different countries such as Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine in the USA, Here and Now in England, Crime Factory in Australia. A Goodreads review of Michael's novel Person Unknown said “A clever thriller that keeps you guessing but never pulls the rug out from under you or insults your intelligence. Its protagonist is a James M. Cain antihero for the 21st Century — arrogant, up to no good and entirely unreliable, until he isn't. The story is an allegory for the illusory and ephemeral nature of control where a “master of the universe” whose sneer of cold command is methodically dismantled until he literally cannot control *anything* — even whether he is conscious or unconscious. The characters are true, the cruelty is delicious, and the ironies are stark. A dynamite ride from start to finish. Find his books and short stories on Amazon and wherever you get your books.

"Mi estancia en tu casa fue una larga entrevista de trabajo, en la que siempre quise ser mejor de lo que era. Pese a nuestras discusiones, que con la confianza se hicieron frecuentes, di el pego, me comporté como lo que se esperaba de mí, fui tu hijo." Esta frase pertenece a Pensilvania (editorial Siruela), la última novela de Juan Aparicio Belmonte, en la que recuerda a Rebeca, la madre postiza, fanática religiosa, que le acogió en su casa en Estados Unidos durante casi un año. Dice que en aquella casa aprendió a mentir, y por lo tanto, posiblemente, también a escribir.Como librólogo se enfrenta a retos difíciles: libros para adolescentes que leen cosas que no nos gustan ("Otra vuelta de tuerca", de Henry James), personas que parecen estar entrando en una depresión ("La vida exagerada de Martín Romaña", de Alfredo Bryce Echenique), alguien con problemas de salud no muy claros ("El cartero siempre llama dos veces", de James M. Cain), un lector que busca un clásico de la autoficción ("La tía Julia y el escribidor", de Mario Vargas Llosa) y un buscador de narradores raros ("Claus y Lucas", de Agota Kristoff).

Book Vs. Movie: The Postman Always Rings TwiceThe James M. Cain 1934 Novel Vs. the 1946 Lana Turner Classic FilmThe Margos are feeling like a couple of femme fatales after reading the 1934 James M. Cain novel and watching the 1946 film The Postman Always Rings Twice for Book Vs Movie. We put on our white turbans and try to decide which is better in this film noir-loving episode. We covered Cain in our past episodes for Mildred Pierce and Double Indemnity and consider ourselves to be Cain fans! In this novel, Frank Chambers is a drifter who finds work in a California burger joint. The owner, Nick Papadakis (The Greek), is married to a beautiful, younger woman named Cora. Frank and Cora have a steamy affair with sex scenes and themes of violence causing it to be “banned in Boston.” It was also a smash hit that began Cain's literary career. There are those that say the plot resembles Emile Zola's novel Therese Raquin which neither one of the Margos has read. There are a few adaptations to pick from for this work but we prefer the 1946 Lana Turner & John Garfield version which is plenty sexy and is considered a classic for several legitimate reasons. First of all, Turner is at her hottest and leaves us breathless from her all-white wardrobe to her sly smile. Garfield (who would sadly pass away of a heart condition when he was just 39) is a sweaty mess of a man who looks like he would kill for this woman. In this ep the Margos discuss:The original novel and why it was “banned in Boston”The controversy surrounding this and the 1981 film Key differences between the book and the movieThe cast: Lana Turner (Cora Smith,) John Garfield (Frank Chambers,) Cecil Kellaway (Nick Smith,) Hume Cronyn (Arthur Keats,)Leon Ames (Kyle Sackett,) Audrey Totter (Madge,) and Alan Reed as Ezra Liam Kennedy.Clips used:Cora meets FrankThe Postman Always Rings Twice trailerCora calls for an ambulanceFrank kills NickLana Turner & Phil Donahue hate the 1981 updateThe 1981 trailerMusic George Bassman and Erich ZeislBook Vs.

Episode #59 brings to The Thriller Zone one of the most fun (in the South, we call it "funnest") shows to date. Today, we welcome Scott Blackburn and his debut thriller IT DIES WITH YOU, a story about a washed up boxer who returns to his hometown to take a gig as a bouncer at a dive bar. That's when life delivers him another hook to the jaw: his estranged father, Leland, has been murdered in what appears to be a robbery gone bad at his salvage yard, Miller's Pull-A-Part. It's a searing literary debut that explores the dangerous world of secrets threatening to upend a rural Southern town, and is a read perfect for fans of David Joy and Brian Panowich, who says..."Blackburn writes with the same ferocity as Hammett and James M. Cain." As for this podcast host? I say it's, "Damn good writing." Moreover, I enjoyed the hell out of our time together. Join me and Scott as we talk: writing, querying agents, goal setting, and even babies'n diapers. But mostly, it's the chat about collard greens, fried chicken, Kernersville BBQ, and Cheerwine that brings memories of my childhood flooding back with reckless abandon. As you're sure to hear, my Southern roots return as my childhood accent gets uncovered (dang all those years in radio that squelched my drawl). It's a buncha fun you don't wanna miss!

This week on THE ELLROY BOYS... Brendan and Sam are joined by dear friend and honorary Ellroy Boy, jack, the perfume nationalist, to discuss a mutual favorite work, James M. Cain's masterpiece, Mildred Pierce. And while we spend some time talking about the book, its origin, and all of it's adaptations, we concentrate on the best one: the Michael Curtiz version. It's a bizarre and baroque masterpiece and we celebrate it's strange power, the torrid and fascinating life of Joan Crawford, how the film revolves around unspoken & unrequited incestuous lesbian longing, the brilliance of Curtiz, why it's not a feminist picture, Cain's big 3, the madness of actors, and much, much more. Thirtysomething is even talked about. On another note, Blauer is unfortunately not on the episode but he's absolutely there in spirit. This is our second look at a Cain noir, so go ahead and re-listen to the Double Indemnity episode if you need a primer. featuring jack @lotus__point, brendan @luso_brendan, and sam @rubberwidow
On this blessed episode, Sam & Brendan are joined by the esteemed original ellroy boy Walter Kirn to discuss Billy Wilder's electric & all-consuming masterpiece DOUBLE INDEMNITY(1944), as well as James M. Cain's novel of the same name. Blauergeist is with us spiritually and will return in his corporeal form in our next episode. Produced by @goldpny
