This is the happy collision of two of my favorite podcasts!

The original release had Decker and Rachel driving north. His voice-over revealed that he knew they didn’t have much time together, but he wanted them to be good days, I think - a very noir epilogue. #HATM

More noir - the cops arrive after the detective’s work is done. #HATM

Roy’s pulling a soaked Decker up by one hand looked briefly like a birthing. #HATM

In most noir showdowns, the hero is confident, not scared - not this time. #HATM

And now, The Showdown. Black leather duster - very 80s touch. #HATM

The Egyptian doors to Tyrell’s apartment are straight out of a 1920’s mansion. #HATM

“I like a man who stays put” - shades of Mr. Gutman in Thr Maltese Falcon. #HATM

Great cut from Sean Young’s tear-smudged mascara to Daryl Hannah’s spray-on eye mask. #HATM

Rachel in her fur is a femme fatale! #HATM

No one’s fazed by the shooting until there’s a dead body - another noir trope. #HATM

This is a rich, rich world. With a floor show! #HATM

Sebastian’s apartment would have been reasonable for a pre-Code heiress’s apartment - minus all the water, of course. #HATM

Sean Young and Daryl Hannah were both in 1987’s Wall Street, a crime movie. #HATM

“Nexus 6 - I designed your eyes!” “If only you could see what I‘ve seen.” Noir always plays with language as violence threatens. #HATM

Couldn’t be more 40s noir if they tried. #HATM

The billows on the replicant theater - very cyberpunk. #HATM

They get their kicks, just like Mary Astor in Act of Violence. #HATM

Blade Runner was produced by The Ladd Company, founded by the son of Alan Ladd, a great noir star. #HATM

Poster that reads "you can do this too!"

Tomorrow, there will be over 1300 protests all over the US asking our government to keep their hands off the things that matter to us. This is one side of the sign I’ll be carrying. If it’s safe for you and you want to do so, remember: you can do this too!

Neff knows he’s in over his head when he learns that her mother’s nurse was… Phyllis. #tcmparty #DoubleIndemnity

What a wonderful discussion about a great movie! For US viewers, TNotR streams for free on a number of sites, including Amazon Prime and Peacock.

The Sox tried real hard for a major asset. Again. And came up short. Again.

Thank you, #HATM, for The Family Man! It's not perfect, but it resonated more deeply with me than I expected, and more so that most of the Christmas movies out there.

Robert Downey Jr. (A Prince)! #HATM

I'll say it - Téa Leoni is underrated. She's great in this. #HATM

English Leather - an 80s fragrance if there ever was one! #HATM
