Gay Crime in the High Desert

Have the most recent Academy Awards been so dissected to death that there’s anything left to pore over fagnostically? Which episodes of Lena Dunham’s Girls most stick in the brain, got stuck in the craw, and do or do not remain Brandon’s favorite episode of the series? Is it ever a good idea to fall in love if you’re a character in the Golden Age of Film Noir? What is a bee in a bonnet? All these questions and more will be picked apart by the yapping cultural excavators of movies imo in this, their latest encore installment of being “in community” in discussion of the fruity miscellanea in film and television that most recently caught their eyes. This week the ladies (Girls callback) brought the following to chat about:

Brandon: A double feature of Girls episodes: S6E9 “Goodbye Tour” and S3E7 “Beach House”

Daniel: A triple feature of “Third Wheel Noir”: Lewis Allen’s Desert Fury (1947), Anthony Mann’s Raw Deal (1948), Robert Siodmak’s Criss Cross (1949)

What a laugh they have. They (Daniel) also insistently mispronounce the name of an iconic film auteur.
