It’s one of the wildest scandals in Hollywood history: In 1951, major Hollywood producer Walter Wanger (Jon Hamm) went to prison for shooting an agent who he suspected was having an affair with Joan Bennett (Zooey Deschanel), Wanger’s actress wife. When the dust settled, Wanger was accepted back into Hollywood’s inner circle with open arms, while a puritan panic virtually ended Bennett’s career in movies and her family would never be the same. How did Joan — the youngest member of one of America’s most famous acting families, and one of the key femme fatales of 1940s film noir — end up a real-life fallen woman, paying a public price for her husband’s crimes? In this limited podcast series, Joan and Walter’s granddaughter/filmmaker Vanessa Hope, and film historian/podcaster Karina Longworth (You Must Remember This), tell the untold story of the Bennett/Wanger romance and professional partnership — a film noir played out in real life.
Wir lieben Filme und wir lieben es, über Filme zu diskutieren. Die Sache ist nur, wir haben einen sehr unterschiedlichen Filmgeschmack. Daher drückt jeder von uns dem jeweils anderen für die aktuelle Episode einen neuen Film aufs Auge mit dem Ziel, dessen Horizont zu erweitern und ordentlich über den Film zu streiten.
Jeden Mittwoch gibt es eine neue Episode mit einem Film, viel Diskussion, viel Streit und auch der ein oder anderen Topliste.
