Shownotes

Hosts Josh and Jamie and special guest author Megan Abbott kick off Noirvember with two dreamlike, expressionist and nihilistic 1940s B-noirs: Edgar G. Ulmer's dirty, depressed, intensely psychologically subjective murderous hitchhiking noir DETOUR (1945) and Mark Robson's bleak, satanic Gothic-horror conspiracy-mystery noir THE SEVENTH VICTIM (1943).

Next week's episode is a patron-exclusive bonus episode on our buddy Robert Mitchum: OUT OF THE PAST (1947) + THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE (1973), you can get access to that episode (and all past + future bonus episodes) by subscribing to our $5 tier on Patreon: www.patreon.com/sleazoidspodcast
