It's Christmas time in the City of Angeles. And while decent listeners sleep the sleep of the righteous, the Hate Expectations crew prowls for merry noir, not knowing that James Ellroy's L.A. Confidential is coming to punch them in the gut.

Another Christmas episode*. Another not-overly sentimental property to discuss. Ellroy called his novel (1990) a book "for the whole family, if the name of your family is The Manson Family"**. The movie adaptation (1997, dir. Curtis Hanson) is friendlier, but still quite dark and labyrinthine, as Hollywood movies go.

Listen in as we talk about the big man in charge (of Los Angeles) and his scheme to spread his white powder and run a ring of ho-ho-hoes. Racism, murder, corruption, cover-ups: it's exactly the kind of treat the Lizzy, Nate, and their friend and guest host, Siobhan, love to sink their teeth into, even if only to rip it to bits. You heard it here first -- off the record, on the QT, and very hush hush.

*The episode may contain trace elements of nuts. It is most definitely chock full o' SPOILERS.

**Seems he said this same quote about a lot of his works, but it's still accurate.
