Brick: How Rian Johnson Rebuilt the Noir Genre


Listen Later

The final Episode of 2025! The gang discusses Rian Johnson's debut film, Brick (2005) a neo-noir that takes the hard-boiled, pulpy detective style of 1950s classics and transposes it into a modern-day high school setting. This sharply written story features all the usual noir tropes but in a contemporary setting with a convoluted plot that manages to keep audiences locked in from start to finish.
