    Double Identity: Noir Beginnings

    In the first episode of "Double Identity," we kick off our new film noir podcast series.

After some good debate and a few deep cuts, we decide on five films to cover: Laura, The Big Sleep, The Big Heat, Niagara, and the Bob Hope parody My Favorite Brunette. Follow along with us and watch Laura before the next episode.
