We continue Noiruary with a Jim Thompson adaptation that is next to impossible to find, largely because it has never been released on DVD: The Kill-Off. Written and directed by Maggie Greenwald, it takes place in a seaside New Jersey town that has fallen on hard times and is full of even harder people. It's a slice of seedy Americana that only Jim Thompson could have written. We dig into the performances, the lack of physical releases, and other Jim Thompson adaptations.
Wake Up Heavy's Mark Begley joins Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, to talk Jim Thompson, Maggie Greenwald, hard-to-find noir, and so much more.
