As kind and humble as he is knowledgeable and articulate, Blacktop Wasteland author Shawn Cosby (aka S.A. Cosby) returns to the podcast to dissect the aesthetics of Neon Noir in the movies Thief, Drive, and Good Time.
Not just an award-winning writer, Shawn is also a fellow major film buff. In fact, what I loved most about this long analytical conversation is that even though we went into it assuming we'd chat about 3 movies for roughly an hour, we quickly found ourselves referencing dozens more in what soon became a feature-length conversation. (In a fitting tribute, the episode clocks in at a length that's only a few minutes longer than Drive and a few minutes shorter than Good Time.)
Needless to say, if you're as nerdy as we are, you might want to listen to this episode with a notebook and pen so you can write down some of the films we excitedly fired off as we wax philosophically about all things neon and noir throughout. Hope you enjoy it!
