This week, Jonathan and Michael jumped into the ocean to discuss the Robert Altman neo-noir classic, "The Long Goodbye." 

We agreed that this is one of Altman's best-directed movies and a fantastic example of revisionist noir. We talked at length about Philip Marlowe's steadfast moral and ethical code, and how it ran headfirst into the changing social mores of the 1970s.

We loved the acting performances in this movie, from Elliott Gould as Philip Marlowe and Nina van Pallandt to Sterling Hayden and Mark Rydell -- and the production design that beautifully captured the look of Los Angeles in the 1970s.

So break out the cat food, take the Aquavit out of the freezer, and join us for our latest episode!
