It just keeps getting deadlier and deadlier as we delve deeper into THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR! It’s classic film noir five days a week all March and we got some strange lovers here who go together like guns and ammunition. Bart is a gun pervert. He’s known this from a young age. He got sent to reform school over his gun perversion. Annie is also a gun pervert which has our perv protagonist absolutely chubbing while he watches her William Tell routine. Makes sense these crack shots would fall in love, except he’s trying to be a nice boy but Annie wants more and she wants to take it all using her favorite tool. There’s only one way this can end but they sure had a lot of fun along the way. We’re discussing the beautifully directed Joseph H. Lewis film based on an ok script ghost written by Dalton Trumbo. It’s “GUN CRAZY” from 1950 starring Peggy Cummins & John Dall. This movie has its flaws but it’s a lot of fun. A perfect example of a movie we might pick over another we might have technically scored higher but it’s a very well shot noir. A straight shooting wild ride of its time. Pretty easy to find online.

Gun Crazy (1950)

Hosts Josh and Jamie continue Noirvember by discussing one of their favorite Hollywood B-noir visual technicians Joseph H. Lewis with a double feature of his horny, violent and tragic proto-Bonnie & Clyde doomed lovers-on-the-run armed robbery thriller GUN CRAZY (1950) and his sadistic and visually poetic/abstract approach to a hard-boiled gangster B-noir procedural in THE BIG COMBO (1955).

Death to all traitors

Welcome fellow SLEAZOIDS!!! Come along as hosts Josh Lewis and Jamie Miller (and, occasionally, guests) go down the rabbit hole of 20th century genre fare from the most influential canon classics to the the trashiest exploitation films we can get our hands on. Each week is a double feature—grindhouse style—where we discuss two films loosely related by subject, genre, actor, filmmaker or franchise and at the end of each episode, along with our HONORARY SLEAZOIDS (click on over to our patreon to become one), we decide on ratings and rankings for each film that's covered. Join us as together we work to uncover the best genre films of 20th century.
