In this week’s episode, we discuss the glories of films noir, from yesteryear and today. If you would like to drink along with us, our booze of the week is Laphroaig Cairdeas scotch, which seemed a far more appropriate pairing for films noir than our usual wine.
Glance below the cut for a list of films and people that get mentioned in this week’s episode.

Every Monday, each of us will suggest a film that we feel too few people have seen.
Melissa’s Pick of the Week: Eega (aka Makkhi, aka Naan Ee)
Eega is a Bollywood movie about a murder victim who is reincarnated as a fly… with a vendetta. Yes, there are dance numbers, explosions, pretty people, and a Rocky-style training sequence starring a fly. It’s madness. It’s hilarious. It’s awesome. It’s on Netflix Streaming under the title Makkhi. Why aren’t you watching it already?
Windy’s Pick of the Week: Jeepers Creepers
A horror film that keeps it small and very creepy, establishes the premise and doesn’t waste a lot of time trying to justify it: I like that in a film! Starring the very personable Justin Long, this is essentially a 3-person (plus creepy critter) film. As in any B-movie horror, stupid things are done, but there are some nice switchups in the tropes. A great little popcorn flick that delivers some nice popcorn-flying scares.

In this week’s episode, we keep special guest Tim Wick awake past his bedtime by keeping him talking about the Oscars after the show!
If you would like to drink along with Windy and Melissa, the drink of the evening was Angry Orchard hard cider. If you want to drink along with Teetotaler Tim, we suggest a 5-Hour Energy shot.

If you were watching the Oscars with us / near us / within the same state as us, you probably heard indignant wails from Windy when she momentarily thought she was going to be deprived of Idina Menzel during the show. “We were promised Idina! I WAS PROMISED IDINA! WHO IS ADELE DAZ… oh hey, it’s Idina!”
John Travolta’s gaffe lives on in real life. Hitflix and Twitter user Janet Krupin (@janetkrupin) report that Idina Menzel has been renamed “Adele Dazeem” in the official Playbill for the Broadway show If/Then. The joke is carried even further in her show bio, where she played “Ephraima in Wicked-ly” and appeared in the Disney musical “Farfignugen“.
In the universe where Idina Menzel exists instead of Adele Dazeem, Ms. Menzel perhaps most famous for her portrayal as Elphaba in Broadway’s Wicked and for singing the meme-tastic “Let It Go” in Disney’s Frozen.
