Welcome back to the speakeasy folks!

This week we'll be talking about Seven! Whatever you do don't look in the box!!!

Seven is a 1995 American crime thriller film directed by David Fincher and written by Andrew Kevin Walker. It stars Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, with Gwyneth Paltrow, and John C. McGinley in supporting roles. Set in an unnamed, crime-ridden city, Seven's narrative follows disenchanted, nearly retired detective William Somerset (Freeman) and his newly transferred partner David Mills (Pitt) as they try to stop a serial killer from committing a series of murders based on the seven deadly sins.

Walker, an aspiring writer, based Seven on his experiences of moving from a suburban setting to New York City during a period of rising crime and drug addiction in the late 1980s.

Hey Folks! In this episode we talk about Carly's swollen two face job interview and the neo noir The Long Goodbye!

The Long Goodbye is a 1973 American satirical neo-noir film directed by Robert Altman and written by Leigh Brackett, based on Raymond Chandler's 1953 novel. The film stars Elliott Gould as Philip Marlowe and features Sterling Hayden, Nina Van Pallandt, Jim Bouton, Mark Rydell, and an early, uncredited appearance by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The story's setting was moved from the 1940s to 1970s Hollywood. The film has been called "a study of a moral and decent man cast adrift in a selfish, self-obsessed society where lives can be thrown away without a backward glance ... and any notions of friendship and loyalty are meaningless."[2] In 2021, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant"

Welcome back folks! In this episode, we discuss the classic noir, The Big Heat, whilst incorporating our new AI friend, talking about the evil madness of a particular UK DIY company, and our classic banter in between!

The Big Heat is a 1953 American film noir crime film directed by Fritz Lang starring Glenn Ford, Gloria Grahame, and Jocelyn Brando[3] about a cop who takes on the crime syndicate that controls his city.

William P. McGivern's serial in The Saturday Evening Post, published as a novel in 1953, was the basis for the screenplay, written by former crime reporter Sydney Boehm.

The film was selected for inclusion in the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 2011.

Screenplay by Sydney Boehm Based on the Saturday Evening Post serial and 1953 novel by William P. McGivern

Welcome back folks!

In this dose of madness we discuss successes and fails of online shopping at Temu and the blistering noir Compulsion!

Compulsion is a 1959 American crime drama film directed by Richard Fleischer. The film is based on the 1956 novel of the same name by Meyer Levin, which in turn was a fictionalized account of the Leopold and Loeb murder trial. It was the first film produced by Richard D. Zanuck.

Although the principal roles are played by Dean Stockwell and Bradford Dillman, top billing went to Orson Welles.

*FULL DISCLOSURE* Recorded on the go, in wind, and rain on Carly's end - just for a change! So apologies for the audio! We can assure you folks she doesn't have braces or a thick lip - even though she sounds like it during this discussion!

Welcome to another episode at the Speakeasy!

In this week's episode, we intermittently talk about Ali G, Peter Sellers and the excellent British noir Never Let Go!

Never Let Go, also known as Moment of Truth, is a 1960 British thriller film directed by John Guillermin and starring Richard Todd, Peter Sellers and Elizabeth Sellars.[1] It concerns a man's attempt to recover his stolen car.  Sellers plays a London villain, in one of his rare serious roles.
