LA Confidential, ft. Brian Wishart

It's crime time.

We're ringing in 2026 with James Ellroy's 1990 work of nasty neo noir, "LA Confidential." And we're mad about it! Why are there so many bizarre little policemen running around in this book???

Joining us is Brian Wishart of "Moviepod: A Reclaimed Cinema Podcast" to unpack the weird freak that is James Ellroy, get exasperated over this absurd book, and occasionally acknowledge parts that are good.

Check out Brian's podcat here!

Learn about LA Police Gangs (in real life) here.

Episode art is from the novel's second edition cover.
