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

Our November Special Subject is Sirk Noir-vember: four noir or noir-adjacent movies directed by Douglas Sirk in the late 1940s/early 50s: Lured (1947), Sleep, My Love (1948), Shockproof (1949), and Thunder on the Hill (1951). We discuss to what extent these films can be considered "auteur" works and in what ways they qualify as noirs; Sirk's use of actor personas and his own "acteur" theory; the relative merits of Sam Fuller's and Harry Cohn's ideas about how to end a movie; nun movie tropes; and much more.  Time Codes: 0h 1m 00s:        Sirk in Hollywood 0h 6m 34s:        LURED (1947) [dir.
