<p>In honor of that time I went on an Easter Egg Hunt as a toddler in 1984 and had no luck, I'm giving everyone this Easter egg of an episode a day early. Hope you and yours have a safe, happy, healthy, and lovely weekend full of good movies and great memories.</p><p>This week, I'm honored to bring back one of my oldest Film Twitter buddies, the great Brian Saur, who I've known and collaborated with on various projects for over sixteen years, from the blog Rupert Pupkin Speaks to DVD Netflix to pods. Gifting us with an inventive trio of forgotten film noir titles he discovered on his incredible Pure Cinema and Just the Discs podcasts, in this entertaining discussion, we cover THE POWER OF THE WHISTLER (1945), ROAD HOUSE (1948), and SHAKEDOWN (1950), and other unsung B-movie goodies you'll treasure as a cinephile.</p><p><strong>Bio:</strong> Brian Saur is the co-host of the Pure Cinema Podcast, a long-running film podcast he hosts alongside Elric Kane. As the official podcast of the New Beverly Cinema, the show has spent the past nine years exploring cult and classic films, with a particular emphasis on uncovering hidden, off-the-beaten-path gems. Over the years, it has featured high-profile guests such as Quentin Tarantino, Sean Baker, Rian Johnson, Edgar Wright, Patton Oswalt, Larry Karaszewski, and Dan Waters. At its core, the podcast aims to recreate the experience of walking into a video store and getting personalized movie recommendations from the knowledgeable staff behind the counter. ‍ Listen to Pure Cinema anywhere you get podcasts.</p><p>Originally Posted on Patreon (4/4/26) <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/154778751"><strong>here</strong></a>: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/154778751">https://www.patreon.com/posts/154778751</a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bit.ly/3v0Jvqq"><strong>Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless Shop</strong></a></p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://ko-fi.com/filmintuition"><strong>Donate to the Pod via Ko-fi</strong></a><strong> &amp; </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/jenjohans"><strong>PayPal</strong></a></p><p><strong>Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive</strong></p>
