Noirvember is here and the Czar of Noir Eddie Muller is back on the podcast to talk about his new book, DARK CITY DAMES: THE WOMEN WHO DEFINED FILM NOIR along with two crime classics featuring FOUR of those Dark City Dames! First, Jane Greer uses her seductive wiles to pit private eye Robert Mitchum against domineering gangster Kirk Douglas in OUT OF THE PAST (1947), from director Jacques Tourneur (CAT PEOPLE). This movie is a stone cold classic, and not only of the best noirs, but one of the best movies ever. Rhonda Fleming is a bonus Dark City Dame in this one. OUT OF THE PAST is streaming on HBOMax.
Then, our B picture takes us to "one of the worst waterfronts in the world" where John Payne is an ex-boxer-turned-cabbie caught between good girl Evelyn Keyes and femme fatale Peggie Castle during a night of frame-jobs, jewel heists and murder in 99 RIVER STREET (1953), a totally bonkers noir from director Phil Karlson (WALKING TALL). 99 RIVER STREET is streaming on Amazon Prime.
In talking about his new book, Eddie regales us with tales of how Jane Greer's parrots imitated Vin Scully's homerun call, and Greer had some impressions of her own + his encounters with the other women he profiles such as Ann Savage (DETOUR) and Marie Windsor (THE KILLING). And if that wasn't enough, Eddie fills us in on the upcoming Noir City fest in Oakland and gives his thoughts on the new Vince Gilligan series PLURIBUS! Plus, this episode itself also has a bonus dark city dame with three-time Ms. Noir City Audra Wolfman joining us to make this the best Noirvember ever!
Eddie's new book, DARK CITY DAMES, is available at Alibi Bookshop in Vallejo, Calif. and wherever you buy books. You can find more on Eddie at https://eddiemuller.com/

S4E8 Animal Husbandry w/ National Velvet (1944) and Hot to Trot (1988)

S4E8 Animal Husbandry w/ National Velvet (1944) and Hot to Trot (1988)
As promised like three episodes ago, horse enthusiast and dog groomer extraordinaire Sage Porter joins us to talk HORSE MOVIES in our ANIMAL HUSBANDRY episode. First we go very unstoney with Elizabeth Taylor in NATIONAL VELVET (1944), the ultimate girl and her horse movie, which is a genre unto itself according to Sage, and we're not going to doubt him? Sage, Philena, Bob and Cory ask the probing questions here, like what's up with the kid with the bug necklace? Also, be sure you listen to the dramatic recreation of young Liz Taylor's audition for the role that made her a star.
Then we go to the 80s for HOT TO TROT (1988) because YOU, THE PEOPLE DEMANDED IT! Or at least friend-of-the-show Audra Wolfman and absentee cohost Greg Franklin demanded it, which is like a deluge of public opinion for this podcast. Bobcat Goldthwait plays an inept stockbroker who gets investment advice from a horse voiced by John Candy, in what may be their worst movie. Cory stands by this one tho while Bob and Philena are in rare agreement. Dabney Coleman and Virginia Madsen are also risking their careers in this one.
If you need dog grooming, make sure you ask for SAGE PORTER at the Petsmart in Van Nuys. We'll have him back for a dog episode soon.
We have no idea what will be in our next episode but we're sure it'll be amazing.
Hosts: Bob Calhoun, Philena Franklin, and Cory Sklar. Greg Franklin is on assignment.
