In In 1995, American audiences mostly ignored Carl Franklin's Devil in a Blue Dress. Based on the Walter Mosley novel of the same name, the film is a rare Noir written, directed, and starring Black filmmakers, but its box office failure dashed their hopes for a full franchise. Franklin's film has developed a cult following in the last 25 years, but how does it compare to the titans of genre?
Joined by labor activist and film nut Paul Kirk-Davidoff, Frank and Caleb discuss the irresistible charms of Denzel Washington, getting liquor delivered in New York, and how much they all miss bars.
