Pods Against Tomorrow reinvestigates the noir genre one film at a time. Join our hosts, Hugh Manon and Abe Doubleday-Bush, along with a rotating guest — our "Ace in the Hole" — as they delve into an analysis of classic, neo-, and pastiche film noirs. Each episode explores the timeless themes that shaped the film noir genre and changed American pop culture forever.

This week's Ace in the Hole is Ben Wolfson, a bay area resident, cinephile, blu-ray collector, and Michael Mann fanatic. Ben joins us to discuss Mann’s debut picture — and best film? — as we dive into the highly technical, neon-drenched world of THIEF (1981).
