This episode we get in deep with The Long Goodbye, a film that flips the classic noir on its head, starring the ever-cool Elliott Gould as Philip Marlowe.

We explore how Marlowe, a man out of time, navigates the wild, weird world of 70s LA, grappling with loyalty, betrayal, and his own cat's demands.

Also we get into the work of director Robert Altman - and how this film's vibes have influenced a ton of modern cinema, from Tarantino to Anderson.
