TCM Host Eddie Muller and Comics

On this episode of Word Balloon, I’m talking with Eddie Muller, the host of Noir Alley on Turner Classic Movies. We get into his lifelong love of comic books and the connection he sees between comics and film noir: the crime stories, the striking visuals, and the characters who don’t always make the right choices. Eddie also tells me about the Film Noir Foundation, which he founded to preserve and restore movies that might otherwise be lost. It’s a conversation about two art forms we love and why their history is worth keeping alive.
