Pods Against Tomorrow reinvestigates the noir genre one film at a time. Join our hosts, Hugh Manon and Abe Doubleday-Bush, along with a rotating guest — our "Ace in the Hole" — as they delve into an analysis of classic, neo-, and pastiche films noir. Each episode explores the timeless themes that shaped the film noir genre and changed American pop culture forever.
This week's Ace in the Hole is Daniel Cho, professor of education at Otterbein University in Columbus Ohio, and one of the hosts of the 2025 LACK conference. Daniel joins us to discuss Robert Siodmak's 1944 acid jazz "anti-noir", PHANTOM LADY.
