Shadows of Noir

After a few individual film episodes, we venture back in history to discuss the motion picture industry, and how major events and developments affected the classic era of film noir. We discuss the formation of the studio system in Hollywood, and the industry developments that helped enable the production, distribution, and exhibition of different types of films over the years. We discuss B-pictures more broadly, and how they blended so nicely with the film noir formula. And we conclude with the major events that led to their downfall. Hope you enjoy!
