In a first for Saints and Cinema, we have a crossover episode with Andrew Hackett of The Trace Podcast. We each talk about three movies that disturbed us (in a good way) and made us see the world or film or life differently. Our conversation takes us to a lot of places, covering Lynch, Haneke, Fincher, and more, including to questions about truth itself.

Tim and Jay talk film noir and Bogart; what noir has in common with Samson and Delilah; the ambiguity of noir's characters; and Tim laugh-cries over an episode of Wings that may or may not have happened. We mention In a Lonely Place, Casablanca, The Big Sleep, and The Maltese Falcon.

Here's the book with the essay on noir by Eric S. Christianson.

Jay and Tim rank Meg Ryan's 1990s rom-coms, discuss the male equivalent of romantic comedies, and make a whole bunch of mistakes and ridiculous comments that end up after the closing music. Once again, the best part of the episode.

Tim and Jay talk about their wives' movie picks, Lutherans in Minnesota, and Roman Catholic singing nuns. Then they preview part two of Movies for Wives, with peak Meg Ryan.

This episode is "good" enough to earn outtakes. Listen all the way past the closing music, or just skip to that point. We would.
