Another Kind Of Distance: A Time Travel, Twin Peaks, Film, Doom Patrol And Nostalgia Podcast

This week, for Warners Bros. 1931: THE MALTESE FALCON (dir. Roy Del Ruth) and THE LAST FLIGHT (dir. William Dieterle). Warners is an early adopter of Dashiell Hammett, but is his least political novel a good fit for the most political studio, or not? And Dieterle, in his first English-language film, turns Warners into Paramount and tackles the Lost Generation, introducing themes that he'll continue to explore in his WWII films with Joseph Cotten. Then, in our Moviegoing section: we exchange thoughts on a couple of new movies about young women becoming artists that couldn't be more different, Greta Gerwig's LITTLE WOMEN and Joanna Hogg's THE SOUVENIR.   Time Codes: 0h 01m 00s:          The Maltese Falcon (dir.
