"When a man's partner is killed, he's supposed to do something about it. It doesn't make any difference what you thought of him. He was your partner and you're supposed to do something about it. And it happens, we're in the detective business. Well, when one of your organization gets killed, it's -- it's bad business to let the killer get away with it, bad all around, bad for every detective everywhere."
-- Sam Spade, The Maltese Falcon (1941)
Hello again, movie fans! My wonderful co-host Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Drunk Cinema! This time, we pay tribute to Xan's father Paul Hess by watching The Maltese Falcon, the 1941 film noir directed by John Huston, starring Humphrey Bogart as Sam Spade, Mary Astor as Brigid O'Shaughnessy, Peter Lorre as Joel Cairo, and Sydney Greenstreet as Kasper Gutman!
This time, Xan and I discuss things like my seeing Xan at GalaxyCon Columbus, The Maltese Falcon being Xan's father's favorite movie, Xan and her mom giving her father a replica of the Maltese Falcon statue, Xan's dad loving Adventures of Superman with George Reeves, John Huston not being a good director of musicals, Gen Z not watching movies, our favorite Marx Brothers movies, why Xan isn't drinking this episode, my coming off paint fumes, 1940s phone numbers, some background on tongue pushing, Sam and Brigid playing one another, Gutman being an obvious name for a heavyset man, wondering if you can still buy smoking jackets for men, Sam having sex with his partner's wife and his partner's killer, new Drunk Mail from Aaron Case and Dave Proctor, the Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Specials, our upcoming watch of Scrooged, and more!
