Double Indemnity - Supplement

While we try to cover as much as we can in our episodes, there's always more to see, hear, and read about a movie that can enhance your viewing experience. If you enjoyed our episode on Double Indemnity, here's a few extra bits you might find interesting...


Episode 55: Double Indemnity


We've got a new episode wrapped in tissue paper with pink ribbons around it as we watch the 1944 film noir classic Double Indemnity. We comment on the movie's influence on the dark visual style of the genre, debate the misogynist and feminist implications of the femme fatale archetype, and delve into the metatextuality of Barbara Stanwyck's wig. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and the murderous smell of honeysuckle.

Episode 54: Speed


In our latest episode, Chris and Sarah hop on board for a breakneck conversation about the 1994 action hit Speed. Along the way, we discuss the film's episodic story structure, ponder alternate casting choices for the story's heroes and villain, and appreciate the maniacal laughter of Dennis Hopper.
