Comments on: Stuffs You Need To Know http://www.moviezeal.com/stuffs-you-need-to-know/ The official podcast of MovieZeal.com, where film is always best discussed under the gentle influence of fine wine (as fine as $10 will get you). Each week Evan, Heather, and Luke pick a theme, discuss a theatrical release based on that theme, pop the cork and drink a wine that fits said theme, and finally subject one another to The Gauntlet, where forcing others to watch painful films nets you fabulous prizes. There is not anything else on the internets like it (literally).

I'm no purist either, but when I looked into expanding the selection list past the late 50s, the scope of the retrospective expanded beyond what I wanted to take on. Our month obviously won't be a complete look at film noir, but I do think it will be a very thorough one.

I think some of them are actually superior to the old classic stuff. And no, I am obviously no bloody purist. Sounds exciting. I may actually be around for some of that action. I do adore me some mad noir. I was actually going to type in my name as MATTY WALKER or MARY ANN SIMPSON. But then no one would've known who the hell I was - and I COULDN'T have that. Anyway... Hope you're going to announce your choices soon. Should be great grand fun. Evan, are you guys going to do modern noirs (like BODY HEAT or ROMEO IS BLEEDING) for noir month?

Not exactly a noir, however. Can't wait, Evan, but I'll stay mum as I'm a co-conspirator. Duel is not awful at all. Not exactly a noir, however.

Can’t wait, Evan, but I’ll stay mum as I’m a co-conspirator.
