Episode 17: Sunset Boulevard

The American Film Institute rated Sunset Boulevard #16 on the 2007 edition of their 100 Years…100 Movies list. This week, the legacy of this acclaimed film is sullied and tarnished by appearing on the TGMEM podcast! Tune in to hear Justus and David peel back the layers of the film noir classic to get to the bottom of this seedy tale of Hollywood’s darkside. Together, they uncover mysteries like the Black Dahlia Murderer’s foray into killing monkeys, Cecil B. DeMille’s boundless bloodlust for horses and the devious wiles of a stone-cold cougar reliving her glory days in her lavish Hollywood mansion. Who cares about the AFI? It’s time for Justus and David to settle, once and for all, if Sunset Boulevard is The Greatest Movie Ever Made! Sunset Boulevard (1950) is directed by Billy Wilder and stars William Holden, Gloria Swanson, Erich von Stroheim, Nancy Olsen, and Fred Clark. Music: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio
