Listen Later

It's November, which means Mike and Steven are talking noir on the show. This time around they're focusing on two leading ladies of the genre: Veronica Lake and Barbara Stanwyck. Things kick off with This Gun for Hire, one of the very first noir films, and the first credited role for Alan Ladd, who'd work with Veronica Lake several more times. This film is a lot of fun, and the discussion is great, so check it out!
And in the news segment this week:
  • Taylor Sheridan
  • Box Office Massacare
