On this week's episode of What's in the Basket, we're putting on our black dresses and shaving our tongues as we get into trubil wrapping up our Noirvember series with Carl Reiner's film noir pastiche Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982). We discuss the ways the movie triumphs as an adoring tribute to its subject matter, its skillful use of archive footage, our love of Steve Martin, and some hot takes regarding the Academy, comedy, and film fandom in the social media age.
