Listen "22: Come for the Aubrey Plaza Energy, Stay for the Tom Neal Back Story"
Episode Synopsis
Edgar G. Ulmer’s “Detour” is both a low-budget B movie, and one of the most influential and elemental examples of America’s film noir. Its stars were largely unknown, and it was released by a poverty row studio. It’s also a great film - one that was “rediscovered” by film nerds and preservationists in recent years, and has now been restored and given a Crierion release. What’s all the fuss? We’re gonna find out? Shelly Brisbin with Nathan Alderman.
