Pods Against Tomorrow reinvestigates the noir genre one film at a time. Join our hosts, Hugh Manon and Abe Doubleday-Bush, along with a rotating guest — our "Ace in the Hole" — as they delve into an analysis of classic, neo-, and pastiche film noirs. Each episode explores the timeless themes that shaped the film noir genre and changed American pop culture forever.

This week's Ace in the Hole is Ron Brooks, an Associate Professor of Writing Studies at Montclair State University in New Jersey. He writes about food, banjos, pinball, or whatever happens to grab his obsessions at the time. Ron joins us to discuss James Foley's oppressively sunny, alcohol soaked neo-noir, AFTER DARK, MY SWEET.
