Diving Into the HORROR NOIRE Syllabus with Ismael AbduSalaam

Before we dive in, here’s a quick reminder that Ian Kimble, director of new black comedy, Dead Giveaway, is offering our listeners FREE SWAG!

You read that right, if you leave the podcast a 5 star review and tweet or email us proof, Ian will send you free swag from his dope black comedy (that Justin reviewed in October as part of The Farsighted 31 Days of Halloween). The movie premiere info can be found at the Shoestring Gold Films Facebook page. And follow @shoestringold on Twitter while you’re at it.

But the film premieres this weekend, so the time to hesitate is through! Get free swag NOW!

For today’s features, we are joined by Ismael AbduSalaam of Beats, Boxing, and Mayhem. In discussions between Justin and Ismael about the fantastic Shudder documentary Horror Noire, Ismael decided to bring the show 3 films mentioned in that film, Ganja & Hess, Tales from the Hood, and The People Under the Stairs.

Ismael shares a lot of great thoughts, while Blaine and Justin try their best to add to the conversation. Please check it out and check out more of Ismael’s thoughts on film, boxing, music, wrestling, and life in general on his Twitter and his website. He’s sure to make a repeat appearance on the podcast, so stay tuned for that, as well.
