Hey Oscar fans - “Tex” and Mark are back with another standout year of films noir.  We kind of teased this episode during our 1953 Oscars episode — when four noirs (The Bad and the Beautiful, Sudden Fear, The Narrow Margin, and The Sniper) were nominated for various Oscars.  But as we soon discovered, that was just the tip of the iceberg!  1952 was an absolute banger of a year for films noir and we are all too happy to walk you through at least a dozen more of our favorites, as well as introduce you to some hidden gem talent both in front of and behind the camera!  So sit back and take note of some films that expose both the bad and beautiful sides of life as seen through the dark lens of film noir.  Thanks for listening!
