The Usual Suspects - At the Movies in the 90s

What this episode covers

"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." In the latest episode of AT THE MOVIES IN THE 90s, your hosts A. J. Black & Mark McManus take a look at 1995's modern noir from director Bryan Singer and writer Christopher McQuarrie, The Usual Suspects. Feted at the time as an immediate crime noir classic, a reputation that burned for two decades, Singer's film feels increasingly sidelined thanks to the sullied reputation of he and star Kevin Spacey, but is this fair of audiences? Tony and Mark wade into the thorny Art vs Artist debate as they make the case for a remarkable film. Will you be convinced? Find out... Host / Editor A. J. Black Co-Host Mark McManus Find A.
