We are joined by Clay McCormack from The Rotten Horror Picture Show for our very first guest episode. Clay’s podcast experience and film knowledge is extensive, and together we discuss the nuances of an essential film noir, Kiss Me Deadly. We dive into the literary background, the adaption to the screen, the character of Mike Hammer, and several other aspects of the film. We also compare it to several other important films, and explore film noir’s relationship to other areas of film history.
