15 MINUTES to #TheLostWeekend PRE-SHOW. As CT and I busily prepare our notes, thanks to all the movie stars from recent #TheNoirCollective watch parties for doing the warm up. Why are we even *doing* a warm up? It’s a long story, but suffice to say, I know why, and so does John Payne.

Folks might recall we were due to host this on September 2, but both Bluesky and Internet Archive were having issues. So I’m going on record here and now as saying that come rain or come shine, come hell or high water, come glitching, come buffering – even if CT and I have to host this damn movie on Zoom using sock puppets – we will be watching THE LOST WEEKEND on October 7, and as God as my witness, we will never be thirsty again.

Film: DOUBLE INDEMNITY 1944
Actor Fred MacMurray, as Walter Neff, sits on a couch at Phyllis Dietrichson’s house. His head is turned to the left as he is in discussion with Phyllis. He’s wearing a tweed suit jacket, white shirt, and a type of paisley patterned tie. In his hand is a drinking glass with iced tea in it. He questions Phyllis:
