Ep 5: Noir meets graphic design, comics, and boxing, with Michael Kronenberg
The art director for the Film Noir Foundation's NOIR CITY e-magazine joins us to talk graphic design, comic books, and boxing. We begin with how Michael first started working with the FNF (3:00), plus designing the website and other projects for Eddie Muller's Black Pool Productions (5:50). We also discuss the process of designing each issue of NOIR CITY (8:30), including the use of multi-media video and audio clips (15:00).
Then we talk about the NOIR CITY comics issue, starting with Michael's article "Batman in the '70s: First Rebirth of the Bat" on the character's development over the years (19:40), and how Batman's dark turn in the 1970s is still influencing comics and movies today (30:35). We also delve into Michael's choices for the all-time Top 10 noir comics (35:30).
Next we discuss how Marvel's movie production chief is combining the approach of classic Hollywood studio moguls and Marvel legend Stan Lee (42:00), plus some indications that DC is starting to move in that direction with their movies (49:50). Your host then seizes the opportunity to coach everyone on saying the chronically mispronounced name of Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot (53:10).
We conclude with the sweet science, including Michael's love of boxing inherited from his ex-prizefighter dad (55:00), his all-time Top 5 boxing movies (56:40), and his new boxing e-magazine Ringside Seat (1:06:00).
Michael's designs for Black Pool Productions, including Eddie Muller's book "Gun Crazy: The Origin Of American Outlaw Cinema" available at: http://blackpoolproductions.com/
