This is at least the third time that #CrimeWave has been on #NoirAlley; it was also on #SUTS last year. But as Eddie says in his (recycled) intro, it's worth multiple viewings, so I'm filling the tank of the #NoirChecklist machine with its proprietary mix of violence, deceit, and regret! #TCMParty

Three items for the #noirchecklist. All we need now is
@ctmillion.bsky.social

My secret weapons include two scheduling apps, both #TheNoirCollective feeds set to refresh every 15 seconds on my deck, backup drafts on Bluesky and @blakea5.bsky.social who kept me apprised of new #NoirChecklist contributions while I was furiously scribbling. 😂
#TheDarkCorner

I'm going to rake over the feed to be sure. Lord knows there were a lot. Thank you for lending me the #NoirChecklist tonight. We sure needed it. 😂

#TheDarkCorner #TheNoirCollective

Well done, I think you got all the contributions– somehow!
Great job hosting and a fun time sharing the #NoirChecklist with everyone!

#TheDarkCorner #TheNoirCollective

Thank you all for huddling into #TheDarkCorner with #TheNoirCollective. It really has not gotten its due in the noir canon, so I hope you enjoyed watching it as much as I enjoyed hosting it.

And now, here's the Master #NoirChecklist compiled from all our contributions tonight!

Absurd hat! #NoirChecklist
