The Long Goodbye with Zant Peralta

For the second entry in the LA Noir series, Best Adapted Podcast looks at The Long Goodbye from 1972. Made nearly 20 years after Chandler’s novel came out, the film transposed the Phillip Marlowe story to counter-culture Los Angeles. Directed by Robert Altman, the movie was a distinctly New Hollywood approach to the noir genre that emphasized mood and tone over mystery. But how does this combination of classic and new fare as an adaptation? Joined by Zant Peralta (Under the Influence with Mads and Mitch) Caleb and Frank discuss the physique of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the swagger of Elliot Gould, and which version of 3:10 to Yuma is worth watching.

Plus, Frank debuts a new gameshow.
