In this introduction episode, Rob and Jordan set themselves up for a neo noir marathon, a veritable genre deconstruction deconstructicon! We start with Paul Thomas Anderson's INHERENT VICE based on the Thomas Pynchon novel and "recommended" by our former co-host, Josh Taylor aka the Forgetful Film Critic. We then move on to our second Robert Altman flick, THE LONG GOODBYE, introduced here by Rob to Jordan, based on the Raymond Chandler novel. That means this is also an intro to an adaptation-athon! Listen now to find out what we're looking forward to and potentially dreading, and remember to come back in two weeks for our discussion!

As always, big thanks to the Forgetful Film Critic for his vocals on the cold open.

You can also listen to the Forgotten Film Pod on iTunes, Stitcher, and most pod-catchers near you.
