b'Kubrick\'s "The Killing" weaves the narrative threads of each character\'s story into the complex yarn of a heist. Tarantino\'s "Reservoir Dogs" ties references to numerous films into a dense knot. The pleasure of watching, and difficulty of discussing, Tarantino\'s work arises from having to pick at, and follow, seemingly infinite threads to their points of origin. Text is henceforth hypertext. As Clute and Edwards follow the many links from Tarantino back to Kubrick, they investigate what\'s at stake when the canvas of noir is stretched to drape a corpus like Tarantino\'s. This podcast is brought to you by Clute and Edwards of www.noircast.net.
