Great podcast!
I love film noir. However, sometimes they are a little hard to follow. This podcast explains the movie from beginning to end. I really like the comments the podcasters make besides just telling the story. I think they are husband and wife. Very enjoyable while I'am multitasking! Keep up the good work! Hope there are more in the future.
