Description
The Shodcast presents Double Identity: A Shoddy Look into Film Noir.
Double Identity is a film noir podcast hosted by identical twin brothers — one a high school film teacher, the other a former private investigator. Together, they dive into the shadowy world of noir cinema through the lens of style, mystery, and twin banter. With a mix of shoddy film analysis, personal stories, and a something that resembles humor, each episode unpacks a noir film selected for its moody visuals, dark themes, and unforgettable characters. Whether you're a noir novice or a seasoned cinephile, Double Identity is your second rate guide through film’s most enigmatic genre.

In the first episode of "Double Identity," we kick off our new film noir podcast series. We thought it’d be fun to bring a high school film teacher and a former Private investigator perspectives together to explore the world of film noir. After some good debate and a few deep cuts, we decide on five films to cover: Laura, The Big Sleep, The Big Heat, Niagara, and the Bob Hope parody My Favorite Brunette.
Follow along with us and watch Laura before the next episode.
