Episode 47: The Big Heat
Manage episode 375491470 series 2813904
This week on Remainders we watch The Big Heat. A gripping 1953 film noir directed by Fritz Lang, The Big Heat follows determined detective Dave Bannion (Glenn Ford) as he exposes corruption within his own department after a fellow officer's death. Gloria Grahame is essential as one of Darren’s all-time picks for noir femme fatales. With intense performances, dark atmosphere, and themes of corruption and justice, it's a stellar noir standout.
Other topics include William Friedkin and Peter Jackson commentaries, physical media corner, hangout movies, the new Hives album, the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre video game and Matthew McConaughey’s rise the Texas Chainsaw franchise, and hoping for an equally cinematic gaming experience with the upcoming Killer Klowns from Outer Space video game.
