In this episode, we explore the film L.A. Confidential, discussing its intricate plot and standout performances alongside Dan and Jared from Concessions. We share personal reflections on our evolving interpretations, debating whether it fits into traditional noir or neo-noir.
Our conversation analyzes the moral complexities of characters like Ed Exley and Bud White, while addressing themes of police brutality and Hollywood's darker undertones.
