Episode 59- Chinatown (1974)

Reel Feels Podcast

When Los Angeles private eye J.J. "Jake" Gittes (Jack Nicholson) is hired by Evelyn Mulwray to investigate her husband's activities, he believes it's a routine infidelity case. Jake's investigation soon becomes anything but routine when he meets the real Mrs. Mulwray (Faye Dunaway) and realizes he was hired by an imposter. Mr. Mulwray's sudden death sets Gittes on a tangled trail of corruption, deceit and sinister family secrets as Evelyn's father (John Huston) becomes a suspect in the case.

Snooping, Water, Family Secrets and Murder are just the tip of the iceberg for the Reel Feels Boys as they discuss "Chinatown". We cover the characters, the director, music, cinematography... we leave nothing to chance! Drew brings up Who Framed Roger Rabbit, while there's a "chili pepper in the candy jar" moment with some touchy issues, all the while going over just how nostalgic and seemingly untouched the film noir genre is nowadays. Don't miss out, we'll have our secretary call you back after our smoke break and taking incriminating pictures. Forget about it... It's Reel Feels Pod!

We are the Reel Feels Podcast, every other Wednesday we'll bring you a new movie with all the feels you can handle. We'll laugh, we'll cry and possibly restrain the frustrations to curse the heavens. But what you can count on is three guys sharing their love of cinema with you.

Please leave us a review and share your "reel" feelings.

Don't forget to call the "Tucc" line (Reel Feels Hotline) and leave us a voicemail: 661-376-0030
