Episode Synopsis

Text Matt & Adam!It's Noir-vember  and we have so many films to choose from. William Friedkin's "To Live and Die in LA" (1985) is the straight-forward story about a sometimes good, sometimes bad cop's all out hunt for a counterfeiter who killed his partner. Willem Defoe steals the movie as the villain. NetFlix's bank robbery gone bad film "Shimmer Lake" (2017) is told in reverse order. While it's not exactly "Memento", it has its moments and a nice little pay off in the end. What do you want from an 82 minute movie?Next, John Cassevete's "The Killing of a Chinese Bookie" (1976) and Michael Keaton's directorial debut, "Merry Gentlemen" (2008).Thanks for listening!Did we get something wrong?
