INCREMENT VICE - EPISODE #22 “...sometimes, it’s just about doing the right thing...” with Brendan Hodges

04/24/20 • 109 min

“What did it matter where you lay once you were dead? In a dirty sump or in a marble tower on top of a high hill? You were dead, you were sleeping the big sleep, you were not bothered by things like that. Oil and water were the same as wind and air to you. You just slept the big sleep, not caring about the nastiness of how you died or where you fell. Me, I was part of the nastiness now.”

That’s a line from Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep, and it’s one that Doc is surely on a handshake basis with, or would at least nod kinda knowingly to before returning to his cloud of Asian indica. “When you’re dead, you’re dead,” as Bigfoot Bjornsen says...but what if...what if even that was one of the certainties that the Golden Fang could take from us? Who could you turn to? Who else could Doc take this to, besides our old flat-topped pal?

As Chandler wrote in The Long Goodbye, “I never saw any of them again — except the cops. No way has yet been invented to say goodbye to them.”

All The President's Minutes - Minute 33 with Jedidiah Ayres

All The President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute 33, I join the author of Fierce Bitches, Peckerwood and curator of noir literature film and culture blog - Hardboiled Wonderland - Jedidiah Ayres. Jed and I discuss unpacking the obsessive relationships of guests of this show with the film, dogged detectives and sharing this movie with a teenager.
