À propos de cet audio

On the 12th floor of the Acme Building, on a cold February day in St. Paul, Guy Noir looks down the barrel of a loaded revolver in the hands of geezer gangster Joey Roast Beef, who is demanding to hear what lucrative scheme Guy is cooking up with stripper-turned-women's-studies-professor Naomi Fallopian. Everyone wants to know - Joey, Lieutenant McCafferty, reporter Gene Williker, Guy's ex-girlfriend Sugar O'Toole, the despicable Larry B. Larry, the dreamboat Scarlett Anderson, Mr. Kress of the FDA - and Guy faces them one by one, as he and Naomi pursue a dream of earning gazillions by selling a surefire method of dramatic weight loss. In this whirlwind caper Guy looks death in the eye, falls in love, and faces off with the capo del capo del grande primo capo Johnny Banana.

For me satirical parodies on outdated genres are often better than the real thing and Guy noire doesn't disappoint. I've probably re-listened 10 times

walks the line famously

Even as a parody of the genre, i found the attitudes seemed dated and sexist.

disappointing.

Garrison Keillor drags 1940s hard-boiled PI, Guy Noir, into the 21st Century to spoof both the genre and the world at large. Some of it is very funny and some of it is just kinda lame…but overall it’s good for a chuckle. This audible version is definitely a lot of fun with music and hijinks galore…but the joke definitely gets milked too hard.

Fun but drags on
