Detectives Beyond Borders talks movies on The Projection Booth

I'm a guest on Episode 243 of Mike White and Rob St. Mary's Projection Booth podcast, discussing Jean-Pierre Melville's splendid and seminal 1967 gangster movie Le Samouraï, starring Alain Delon, and Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai.

The show is just as much fun as Mystery Science Theater 3000 but with more insight and fewer robots, and you can download it or listen to is at the Projection Booth website. When you're done, go back and listen to earlier episodes. I especially like Mike and Rob's discussion of The Limey.

It was a ton o' fun. You guys know your stuff. I also might look for books by Tim Palmer and Sara Piazza, since I like what they had to day. So you guys have good taste in guests.

The site is a magnificent wallow for fans of crime and horror movies. And the shows are an interesting combination of chat among educated nerd-enthusiasts and professional experts. The posting for each episode offer links to all kinds of supplementary material for reading, viewing, and purchase. It's a good way to spend pleasant, otherwise idle hours.

I've seen and enjoyed Ghost Dog, though not recently. But I'm particularly more interested in these older forum films. Sometimes I can find them on Netflix, sometimes not.

A bunch of Jean-Pierre Melville's movies are available from Criterion, I think. I'd seen a few of them years ago, and now I want to see them again.

I had last seen Ghost Dog on its initial release. I've that Netflix selection of classic movies disappointingly small, at least among movies available for streaming.

Crime, horror, and science fiction, I should have said.
