The Rhetorizer

NOIR: L.A. Confidential (James Ellroy)


Listen Later

Dig it: today we're gabbing about THE James Ellroy's classic neo-noir L.A. Confidential, the tripartite, sybarite, dynamite journey to the dark heart of '50s Los Angeles. Three depraved cops battle over justice, women and pride, as they take on pornographers, murderers... and even members of their own force!

Remember, you heard it hear first, on the qt, and extremely hush hush.
