For Episode 70, we visit mid-century urban America with Iceberg Slim's Pimp. 
This is a gritty memoir that sold millions of copies, yet remains under discussed in crime writing circles. We will talk about the good of this book, and we also dig into the problems we had with it.

With the book fresh in our minds we take a look at the classic film "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" directed by John Huston and starring Humphrey Bogart.
This is mostly a reaction episode looking at how the film diverged from the source material. Enjoy.

Greed. Ambition. Gold Fever. Adventure.
Join us for a discussion of "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" by the mysterious author B. Traven.
Three men down on their luck strike out to find gold in the mountains of Mexico. Will they find their fortunes? Probably not or else it would be a boring book.
While this one isn't exactly crime fiction, we think it offers a lot of the hardboiled and noir elements that crime fiction fans will enjoy.
