This month we review the noir classic, The Maltese Falcon. Is this just an excuse to imitate these fun old timey voices? Shut up! You don’t know us at all, see!

Cool! My friend’s family owns the restaurant that this movie has scenes take place in.

There's a whole world of black & white movies that JPC is gonna miss out on.

Double Indemnity is another original film noir that came to mind if you watch any more. I don’t remember if I liked it more than this movie or not. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen them.

Love the movie acts y’all through in

Monkey Bone is basically like a modern noir film, if that's what you're after. I mean it isn't really, not at all, but I still want to hear Little Monkey Bones' opinion about it.

Did we all say Brick at the same time, cuz I definitely said it right when Adal did!

This might be a good time for you to watch an even older movie - The Thin Man. It's a comedy mystery by the same author as this. As far as I remember, it still holds up.

I was going to say The Thin Man! It’s my favorite Film Noir flick

Brandon Nunnery

Arsenic and old lace would be a fantastic movie to review! Everyone’s favorite little pervert Peter Lorry is in it and the old timey comedy is on point

Ariana

Was also going to recommend The Thin Man! And I remember it as having a healthy marriage portrayed by the two main actors which is a nice change of pace for those older movies!

The acting through at the top coulda been a full episode for me and I’d pay double. Yall sound so good in black and white!

The thing you always have to remember about film noir is that the Hays Code meant they couldn't show ANYTHING, so when your story hinges on something violent, queer, or sexy, it can only be hinted at, so it makes a lot of noir plots incomprehensible. The Big Sleep is my favorite example, since so much of novel contains so much that they can't show, they literally don't end up telling us who did the thing they're investigating.

1990 Dick Tracy starring Warren Beatty? Maybe at least film noir adjacent. I haven't seen it in a long time so I'm sorry in advance if it didn't age well!
