Noircast Special 4 Podcast: Q&A with Shannon Clute and Jared Case

Clute and Case

Jared Case and Shannon Clute, at George Eastman House (1/20/11)


On January 20, 2024 Clute introduced the film Mildred Pierce at the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, as part of their Noir Series. His talk was preceded by a Q&A with Jared Case (Head of Cataloguing and Research Center) on several noir topics: the origins of the Out of the Past podcast; certain underappreciated aspects of noir; how scholarly approaches to noir have limited what we see; a new film studies paradigm he and Richard Edwards worked out in their forthcoming book The Maltese Touch of Evil: Film Noir and Potential Criticism, which allows them unleash and understand other narrative potentials lurking in noir. Special thanks to Jared Case for letting us repost these audio and video files.
