This week, we are joined by Matthew Kessen for a very rare screening of Desert Fury!
We highly recommend you watch the film before listening to the episode… if you can. This is sadly a very difficult movie to track down right now. We were lucky enough to see an actual film print at The Heights Theater. If you are truly determined, the movie has been released on DVD overseas and copies can often be found on Amazon. You can also probably find downloadable copies online, if you know where to look.
Please join us again on April 7th, when we continue with another color noir with Chinatown!
