Friend of the podcast Jools (@Joolsd on twitter) joins me to discuss several films from the career of Elio Petri, the underrated Italian director responsible for Investigation Of A Citizen Above Suspicion (one of the stand-out films from the Work season) Sponsor: subnormality.ca twitter: twitter.com/comeinallunits facebook: facebook.com/comeinallunits email: allunitspodcast@gmail.com

"The style of this film is not that of a thriller.

I talk about the Harvey Weinstein stories coming to light, the uselessness of ranked lists, my final ever comment about Tarantino and why I think green room is intellectual counterfeit money.

A listener's question about the role of masculinity in the thriller and much of the media I tend to cover lead to this episode. As part of the question I also cover permissiveness around misogyny in the genre film community and review the much-maligned Odette Springer documentary Some Nudity Required in some depth.

I talk a little about a grim Bill Lustig classic before discussing what information struck me anew while embarking on a John Carpenter marathon last weekend. Then I talk a little about crime fiction and the obligation of crime non-fiction.

"That is to say: Toward the accomplishment of an aim which in wantonness of atrocity would seem to partake of the insane, he will direct a cool judgment sagacious and sound.
