<p>On this episode, Ryan and Todd return to their film genre series to discuss the <em>neo noir</em>. As opposed to the classic <em>noir</em> period, which is named retroactively by French film critics (1941-1958), <em>neo noir</em> films were aware of how they fit into a specialized genre. Does this mean the Neo noir is more of a genre than the class noir? Less of one? Is it just a style? What unique affordances hold the genre together now that these films are made post-Code? This episode discusses these questions and more with extended reference to: <em>The Long Goodbye, Body Heat, One False Move, </em>and <em>The Last Seduction </em>among many other films. </p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=6A7crzLHAEc&ra=m" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Also referenced in this episode and available to watch on YouTube is <em>Pretty Poison</em></a></p>
