The Goods: D.O.A. (1949) – Hardboiled film noir

Dan and Brian explore the seedy side of cinema with a look at the styles of film noir and hardboiled detective stories. Join as they attempt to parse the twisty plot of noir gem D.O.A., in which a man tries to solve his own murder. Dan dissects some of the weird gender roles depicted and pitches a new ending for the film, while Brian ponders how magical pirates could have fit in.
