All aboard, noir-o: this podcast train is headed straight into the desert as the lads uncover the mysterious evils that brew in a certain small nowhere town. That’s right, we’re kicking off our TECHNOIRCOLOR MAY in style with 1955’s Bad Day at Black Rock! Directed by John Sturges, this one has it all - CinemaScope, a bit of Western flavoring and Spencer Tracy up against three of the nastiest jerks ever assembled in color: Robert Ryan, Lee Marvin and Ernest Borgnine! You better believe this is an episode that is not to be missed!

(Note: for those who want to get straight to the business, the movie talk starts at 13:41)
