Overlapping Dialogue is now Ticket Stubs—your go-to stop for double features, deep dives, and all things cinema.\n\nThis week, we’re celebrating Noirvember in style with a pairing that bridges the past and present of the crime genre: John Boorman’s cold-blooded, acid-tinged revenge saga Point Blank (1967) and Steve McQueen’s taut, politically charged heist thriller Widows (2018). Listen as we dissect their hardboiled aesthetics, fractured moral codes, and the surprisingly emotional depths lurking beneath their genre trappings.\n\nBut first, on this week’s Blue Plate Special, we take a moment to review the brand-new reimagining of The Running Man and share a rundown of upcoming fall releases we're most excited to catch—just in time for awards season.\n\nTo all our listeners: we’re thankful for your continued support and wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving!\n\nAs always, please like, subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and wherever else you listen!
