Mike Lisk AKA AP Mike of The Best Show and co-host of his own Egg Foo What?! podcast takes us INTO THE MARLOWEVERSE with a pair of very different portrayals of Raymond Chandler's cynical gumshoe Philip Marlowe. 

Mike's choice, MURDER MY SWEET (1944), is one of the first examples of film noir, and its success--along with DOUBLE INDEMNITY from the same year--added the spark that set off late 40s film noir explosion. It's also a way stoney and a total gateway drug to classic cinema with its snappy dialog and its trippy AF hallucination sequences. Former song-and-dance man Dick Powell plays Marlowe in this one, and he handles Chandler's dialog with a sense of cartoon humor that makes this one stand out. Directed by Edward Dmytryk (one of the Hollywood 10) with a script by John Paxton, the writer of several classic noirs (CROSSFIRE, CORNERED), and the uncle of crime fiction comic book writer Ed Brubaker (it runs in the family). Also starring noir ice queen Claire Trevor and ex-pro wrestler and Mike Mazurki. Available on disc at your local library and online via Archive: https://archive.org/details/murder-my-sweet-1944 

Our next interpretation of Marlowe comes three years later while film noir was in full swing. Like Dick Powell before him, Robert Montgomery used his portrayal of Marlowe to shed his nice guy image, only he did it while barely being seen onscreen! As director and star of LADY IN THE LAKE (1947), Montgomery shot the entire film from Marlowe's jaundiced point-of-view. We only see the private eye when he's looking at himself in the mirror, making it one of the strangest films every made. While Mike and the OMFYS crew can't quite agree on if this cinematic experiment is successful or not, they all think that Montgomery put the dick in private dick as he is the surliest of the movie Marlowes. This is really saying something when you consider that Humphrey Bogart, Elliott Gould, Robert Mitchum and growly-assed Liam Neeson have all taken turns as the detective, and none of them are Mr. Sunshine. With Audrey Totter as the femme fatale, and Lloyd Nolan as a tough-talking cop who might not be on the up-and-up. Streaming on Criterion Channel. 

In the opening discussion, Mike and your hosts stay on topic and talk about their favorite movie Marlowes, and Cory and Bob give us a Noir City 21 report.

S3E2 Into the Marloweverse feat. AP Mike w/ Murder My Sweet (1944) & Lady in the Lake (47)

Dois presos fugiram da Penitenciária Federal de Mossoró, no interior do Rio Grande do Norte. Uma mãe e a filha de quatro anos morreram nesta manhã em um acidente de carro no sul de Santa Catarina. A Polícia Federal utilizou dados de registros de celulares e de entrada e saída do Palácio da Alvorada para confirmar o relato do tenente-coronel Mauro Cid sobre a existência de uma minuta golpista. Cerca de trinta e cinco mil crianças atendidas nas escolas de Educação Infantil da rede municipal de Porto Alegre voltaram às aulas. A escola de samba Unidos do Viradouro é a grande campeã do carnaval 2024 do Rio de Janeiro.

The scenic artist and multi-instrumentalist @claraguilar moves from performing arts to cinema as a composer and live performer. Over the last few years he has created soundscapes that blend electronics and sampled elements with orchestral arrangements, becoming one of the main names of the Spanish theater scene when it comes to soundtrack and sound design creation.

After her acclaimed EP 'Mystery is All' Lapsus is proud to present 'Figura', CLARAGUILAR's debut album, a heartfelt tribute to her connection with the scenic world, and especially with the operatic universe. The starting point of this project was born with the concept of an "invisible orchestra", an imaginary that aesthetically becomes a reality on stage thanks to the collaboration with the Barcelona studio Oscila, as well as with the help of the stylist Joan Ros, who has been in charge of the costume design.

‘Figura' is a space in which electronica, ambient, and chamber-pop coexist; all under an operatic halo full of drama. Once again, the producer locked herself down from late 2022 to the beginning of 2023 to compose all the tracks in a very intimate and closed composition process. The album dives into the melodic landscapes, merged with orchestral samples and chopped voices containing mysterious messages inside. Each track is a pixelated lightshow and a live electronic instrumentation, presented onstage as an elegant performance with an expansive emotional range.

Letter from Capt. Albert J. Barnard, Co. B, 116th NYI.

Prior to the Battle for Port Hudson, La. near Baton Rouge, "Allie" Barnard describes the disorganized fighting supporting Commodore (later Admiral) Farragut's fleet as it 'ran the guns' upriver, with the U.S.S. Mississippi running aground. Scuttled, the 24 tons of gunpowder in its hull exploded, creating a sonic wave heard 20 miles away, as graphically described by Capt. Barnard. Also described are interesting foraging details regarding accommodations, victuals, and sleeping with pigs.
