Welcome to our second Noirvember Special, the last time we did an episode where we discussed Film Noir as a whole was back in 2020. The episode can be listened to here on Apple Podcasts.
On this smoky and hardboiled episode, Anders & Adam Holmes are joined by the great and legendary Richard Bruno to discuss the roots of Film Noir, it's literary and filmic influences, the films that define film noir plus its actors, filmmakers and also try to answer the burning question surrounding Noir: Is Noir a filmmaking style? Or is Noir a film genre itself? Friend of the podcast Richard Bruno returns for a second time as a guest, having already been a guest on our Movies And Me episode that features him.
A lot of films on this episode are mentioned by all three of us, all are Film Noir classics and we all recommend them. So do keep your ears peeled and list them as we go. In case you haven't seen any of the films before.
In keeping with the Noir theme, feel free to also check out Anders & Adam's previous episode on the Un-Official Philip Marlowe Trilogy.
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. You can read a review about the film on Collider.
