   31 - Champion

   The gloves stay on for this episode of the Shadows of Noir podcast, as Marc and Dan stick with the boxing-noir subtype. Also released in 1949, just like The Set-Up from last episode, there is plenty of room for comparing and contrasting the two films. Marc and Dan dive deep into the story’s situations, character choices, and also the larger, deeper questions that the film poses. If you enjoy narrative analysis and dissecting character development, this is one you won’t want to skip.
