"The Big Heat": Films of 1953 + Gripes about "Spaceballs", "Stick", Warner-Discover-HBO

This week, the boys discuss the remarkable film year of 1953, the events that transpired around the world in that year, and Fritz Lang’s “The Big Heat”. Perhaps an early trailblazer of the detective-with-a-personal-vendetta genre (is it a film noir???), this fascinating film led to a productive conversation! We drank a bit this week, too. Grab a cold one and listen or watch on YouTube!
