Got this from the library - https://www.akashicbooks.com/catalog/philadelphia-noir/

I read the Jersey Noir collection, edited by Joyce Carol oates

oh sweet, is it good?

@ranjdy

oops randy

I almost feel symathetic towards the Peter Lorre character during the village trial.

There's one story called "Kettle Run" which takes place on a pine barrens road near me

oh cool, I will def read it

yeah I get that, john

It's especially good if you know the places - the jersey one, haven't started the Philly one yet, but I'm sure that's true as well

I wonder if Eastern State comes into play?

I often like to pout, "did you kill him'.

ha, Ears

and hi

Whenever I hear Bogart, I th know of bugs bunny

Hi! @Randy, I think you may have changed history by suggesting this theme. Just a hunch

Call me 'The Doctor' LOL

haha

"You look good in a shower curtain" like Laura Palmer?

haha

right!

I gotta run. But I'll be listening in the car!

sweet, Stevie p!

thx fo stopping by

for

hi es!

hi Rossy!

ossy

typos galore here, sorry

"Night of the Hunter" featured in the new Springsteen movie

This reminds me of ts Eliot's reading of the wasteland

oh wow, I need to hear that, Ears

April is the cruelest month

yes I saw it, randy! I liked deliver from me nowhere. did you?

https://youtu.be/LLrk3ND0d48?si=qIP898pQIdfp5YNv

thanks, randy

I was familiar with much of the "mythology" of Nebraska; the 4-track in the bedroom, the cassette without a case being passed around, the Label people being "Label people" LOL

ha

label people

Yes, I did - I had to laugh at the (Class) Action Park radio ad they slipped in there

yup lol

es for earlier hahaha, those typos!

pretty chilly tonight and hope had a scary halloween!

it is downright cold brrr, os

I did have a great halloween - hope you did as well.

Mitchum was such a great actor. Have u seen the film out of the past

oh yeah, surely had a scary time!

sweet

no I haven't Gary, but will for sure now - thx for the recommendation.

Wasn't "Out of the Past" remade with that Phil Collin's song in it? That's all I know of either

hmm I don't know, randy

Not sure. Original was with kirk douglas as the heavy

oooh love Kirk douglas

"against All Odds" was the remake - Rachel ward, Jeff bridges and James woods as Kirk douglas

oh I never saw it though it was popular, randy, is it good? against all odds, I mean

Probably not, judging by the music video Lol

lol right

@esoterica - you're doing so good!!! this might need to be your "forever" format, going forward

Wasn't there a show here that was all movie music? Or was that from another station that's no longer with us?

are you thinking of filmscape, which I did one summer?

that is what I called the radio show

No this was hosted by a guy, sorry - your voice is not guy-ish, by any means; I'm thinking it was on Burlington County College, which is no more

Great music. Another noir i like is the american friend with dennis hopper

aw thanks, oh I have never seen it but would love it. the great thing about this chat is everything saved so I can gather your suggestions later. love hopper.

I just watched giant the other night for the millionth time

Its been awhile since ive watched. Saw butterfeild 8 for the first time the other day. It was kinda weird lol

ha never saw B8

Not a really great film but taylor just shines

@esoterica "love hopper" Dennis, or the dad in Stranger Things LOL

ha! Dennis (though saying you love him is a little fraught. but I did like his acting)..

Like Nicholson, he had to get through a lot of cheesy roles first

yeah

Hello Esoterica. I'm late to the party but so many of my favorite movies here!

hey Marcus, thx for stopping by - that is great!

what are your faves that I didn't feature?

I am making a list

Sorcerer: Tangerine Dream

Cruising: The Germs

oh cool, never saw sorcerer

cruising! ha, love it

love the germs

The music was great in that film, William Freidkin and Al Pacino

oh yeah I know it well

Also Risky Business: Tangerine Dream the subway ride

oh wow haven't seen that film is very long time. will rewatch.

ina

in a

Sorry I missed most of the program, but I was taking advantage of discount Tuesday at the AMC multiplex. They recently started discounting Wednesdays too, which is an ominous sign for the future of the movie theater business. Apparently AMC had a bad year.

Liquid Sky: Alien's Theme

Fred Flintstone took a real beating in “The Postman Always Rings Twice”.

oh yeah liquid sky:) marcus

Thinking Burroughs, remember drug store cowboy, burroughs was junky preist lol

remind me, David haha

Thursday in Red Bank: https://thebasie.org/events/sunset-boulevard-1950-an-immersive-golden-age-experience/

love drugstore cowboy - have the poster hanging on the wall

I am a gus van sant fan

sweet, David. it is a little hike for me

Alan Reed played the blackmailer John Garfield beat up.

No hats on the bed!

wow, David - just rewatched but didn't notice

ha marcus

I saw the 1931 “The Maltese Falcon” at the Film Forum. Ricardo Cortez plays a smilier, more easygoing Sam Spade than Bogart’s. A scene not in Dashiell Hammett’s book was added at the end where Sam visits Wilma in prison!

The Yardbirds Stroll On from Blow Up

"Liquid Sky" - with unique 'murder weapon''

oh I love that whole soundtrack blow up Herbie hancock

Girl who tried to kill me introduced that film to me

What an amazing 'bloom'! I'm almost back in my body now

blow up?

sweet, EARS!

Liquid Sky: used to see it regularly at the Waverly in Greenwich Villiage: tacky, tacky, tacky ws my favorite line

"Girl who tried to kill me ... " with a pillow, I should add; then with her car; not the 'other thing'

I can't believe I am admitting this but never this cult film! must watch liquid sky - thx for reminding me

James M. Cain’s “Mildred Pierce” wasn’t even a crime novel. The movie producers spiced things up.

the Cat People remake, putting out fire with gasoline, Bowie

Marcus, Putting out fire I love and I like that remake

Bowie's "Cat People" works so well in so many other places

Tarantino used that song in Inglorious Basterds too

ha David, I didn't know that. I love midlred pierce

Yep!!! Works especially well when a woman goes badass

As they ALL are 😉🖤

oh yeah!

Wasn't Bela Lugosi's Dead in "The Hunger"

The woman Max Cady beats up in “Cape Fear” is played by Barrie Chase, Fred Astaire’s dance partner in his TV specials. She also twisted with Dick Shawn to the Shirelles’ “31 Flavors” in “It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World”.

ha, David interesting facts. I like IAMMMMW

dick Shawn, a treasure

Jeff Beck sampled "did you HEAR what mama said?!!"

wow, randy

Great job tonite. Prb IS thevgreatest radio station in the world

thanks, Gary, appreciate you coming by the chat.

I agree with you, prb is the best!

Did you ever hear Orson Welles in the prequel radio series “The Adventures of Harry Lime”? There was also a 60’s TV show “The Third Man” where Michael Rennie played a strange good-guy version of Lime, with Jonathan Harris as an invented sidekick.

WPRB Streetgang this is the almighty calling, do you copy? - Apocalypse Now!

no I never have, David. so much to get caught up on!:)

Took me a minute - https://youtu.be/GJErzI-aP1M?si=2BNiFczKKA1OpOU8

I missed it when you played "Hawk". Was that the theme from the 1966 cop show starring Burt Reynolds?

bye, y'all

thanks!
