Episode 5: Noirvember Classics
Listen now
Description
After a month of terror and senseless violence, we're excited to talk about one of the most beloved film genres. We're celebrating Noirvember all month long, and this week we review two classics: Max Ophuls The Reckless Moment (1949) and Robert Wise's Odds Against Tomorrow (1959).  We talk about what we've been watching recently, and Max gives us his Stanpick of the week. There's also an extended conversation on how taste in movies changes over the years and the complexity of giving star ratings.  You can follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/semi_cinematic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/semicinematicpod Semi Cinematic on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/semicinematic/ Hunter on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/huntertrobinson/ John on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/aliasgenius/ Max on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/maxmaniels/ email us at: [email protected]
