Double Bill Chill

This week we are continuing our Noir-vember coverage with one of our favorite noirs, "The Big Heat." We discuss where everyone was in their career including film icon, Fritz Lang and the stars of the picture. We then talk about the film's relatively quick production and unexpected financial success. After this, we dive into the plot of the film and discuss why this works so well. Finally, we each pair the film with another for a pair of double bills for your viewing pleasure.

This week we are diving right into Robert Eggers' sophomore feature, "The Lighthouse." We discuss the path to making this film, and why the success of "The Witch" led directly to this unclassifiable movie being made. We then dive into the punishing shoot in the middle of nowhere with awful weather, and why that was the plan. The plot is then looked over and discussed while we attempt the accents to say our favorite lines. Finally, we each pair the film with another for a pair of double bills for your viewing pleasure.
