Kinotomic
A Movie Podcast that bridges the cine nostalgia of the Golden Age of Hollywood with the explosive modernity of Contemporary Cinema. Join Dani and Nick as they discuss 2 carefully picked films, unified by a common theme. Dani's suggestion based on her particular area of expertise, The Golden Age of Hollywood, from the silent 1920s through to the revolutionary 1960s. Nick's suggestions are movies from the New Hollywood era of the 70s through to the current Blockbuster fuelled industry we have today. The only rule is both picks of the week have to be first time viewing for the other. Contact us: kinotomic@gmail.com

Ep. 8: Brick (2005) & In A Lonely Place (1950)
Join Dani and Nick for the eighth episode of KINOTOMIC.
In Episode 8 we will be discussing all things noir. First with In A Lonely Place, directed by Nicholas Ray and starring Humphrey Bogart, and then with Brick, a high-school noir directed by Rian Johnson and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Vivian Sobchack quote from her essay 'Lounge Time: Postwar Crises and the Chronotope of Film Noir' (1998): “The noir world of bars, diners and seedy hotels, of clandestine yet public meetings in which domesticity and kinship relations are subverted, denied and undone, a world of little labor and less love, of threatened men and sexually and economically predatory women – this world (concretely part of wartime and postwar American culture) realises a frightening reversal and perversion of home and the coherent, stable, idealised and idyllic past of prewar American patriarchy and patriotism.”
