Chinatown and The Two Jakes Double Feature Mini-Retrospective

We begin a Jack Nicholson themed month of June:

The podcast crew starts off with a mini-retrospect on the Neo-Noir gem CHINATOWN and its sequel THE TWO JAKES.

How did the first film amp up the demand for more modern days on older period mysteries?

How can you enjoy the sequel in its own right?

And we get to share more clips from the movies that just show what a badass pvt. eye Jake Gittes truly is!

OTHER TALKING POINTS:

*Does either film do a good use of Raymond Chandler's similar Noir style?

*Why hysterical stand-up comedians have done some amusing riffs on dirtbag director Polanski over the years?

*And why should everyone in these throwback movies learn how to protect their nose?
