Episode 83: In A Lonely Place

On this episode of Remainders, we watch the 1950 noir classic In A Lonely Place. Starring legends Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame, it secured it’s place in Hollywood history as one of the best noirs of the era. Seemingly a murder mystery, Lonely Place is at heart the existential love story between two broken souls guaranteed to fall. A bleak Hollywood movie ahead of its time.

Other topics include Nicholas Ray’s career and crossing paths with Jim Jarmusch, the tawdry love life of Gloria Grahame, Guillermo Del Toro and Frankenstein, Predator: Badlands and Disney franchises, Stephen Sommers and the art of the fun blockbuster, Brenden Fraser coming back to the Mummy, putting The Scorpion King movies on the watch list, Darren’s November painting mission, and debating the merits of Ska.
