They are streaming <a href="https://www.criterionchannel.com/fox-noir-2?utm_source=criterion.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=watch-now&utm_term=November-2022&utm_content=lineup">the noir films of 20th Century Fox all month long</a>. I don’t know why noir has become associated with November. Maybe it goes with the shortening days and the gloomy shadows of November.Julia: A slightly odd endorsement today. People really seem to think they can disrupt underwear. I don’t really know why. But, I have been a skeptic until now. Finally the platonic underwear has been designed. <a href="https://knickey.com/">Knickey</a> high-rise <a href="https://knickey.com/collections/high-rise-brief">briefs</a>. It’s just too good. Steve: The thing that’s given me the most joy is the Richard Wilbur poem <a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/browse?contentId=25569">Castles and Distances</a> from 1950. I was in the mood for Wilbur and I found one I had never read before. It’s so cool. So sadly apposite to modern experience, especially with Elon Musk in the news and tech barons. Podcast production by Cameron Drews.
