We reserved discussion about The Maltese Falcon in Episode 2 because we thought it was the perfect film to do our first deep dive on. In this episode we discuss the background of The Maltese Falcon and then shift more into the world of film analysis. We discuss the story, the characters, the themes, certain scenes, and the cinematic aspects, before rounding out it out with the legacy and place that The Maltese Falcon holds in film history.

In this episode, we take a detailed look at the birth of film noir. 

We set the stage and then zoom in on the major innovations of 1940 and 1941 that pushed filmmaking from more established conventions, into the newly forming territory of film noir. Several filmmakers and individual movies are discussed, and how they collectively helped  cultivate the beginning of film noir's classic era.
