Pods Against Tomorrow: Reinvestigating Film Noir

Pods Against Tomorrow reinvestigates the noir genre one film at a time. Join our hosts, Hugh Manon and Abe Doubleday-Bush, along with a rotating guest — our "Ace in the Hole" — as they delve into an analysis of classic, neo-, and pastiche film noirs. Each episode explores the timeless themes that shaped the film noir genre and changed American pop culture forever.

This week's Ace in the Hole is Katie Stebbins, Digital Projects Librarian at Clark University's Goddard Library. A Clark Screen Studies alum, Katie has created a number of film zines that combine her collage work and writing; she currently co-hosts a monthly podcast called "The Power of '73 Compels Us", which takes a look at the films of 1973 one double feature at a time. Katie joins us to discuss Norman Mailer's profoundly polarizing Provincetown potboiler, TOUGH GUYS DON'T DANCE!

This week's Ace in the Hole is Andi Graceson. After their brief career at MTV, Andi is now an Adult Services Librarian focusing on digital literacy and outreach at the Berkshire Athenaeum in Pittsfield, MA.

Andi joins us for the second time to discuss Kathryn Bigelow's 1995 VR-Noir, STRANGE DAYS!
