Lee and Daniel continue their look into crime and noir films, and are joined by a special guest this week: writer and fellow podcaster Jack Graham, who writes the blog Shabogan Graffiti, and hosts his podcast, Shabcast, from there as well. This week the panel takes a look at two 1980s neo-noir films. First up is the tightly-written classic debut film from the Coen brothers, "Blood Simple" from 1984. Then the panel takes a VERY in-depth look at the twisted mysteries of David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" from 1986, where much of the BDSM imagery and themes are discussed. It turned out to be a very enlightening conversation.
Roger Ebert's review of "Blue Velvet".
Jack's essay on why Iron Man is such a "Solid Dick".
Featured Music: "Blood Simple" by Carter Burwell; "It's the Same Old Song" by The Four Tops; and "In Dreams" by Roy Orbison.
