In this episode, Greg and Tom dive into the Apple TV+ show “SUGAR,” starring Colin Farrell, Kirby, Amy Ryan, Dennis Boutsikaris, Nate Corddry, and James Cromwell.

Join us as we follow private detective John Sugar on his quest to uncover what happened to Olivia, the missing granddaughter of Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel. Along the way, Sugar peels back the layers of a web full of Siegel family secrets—old and new.

This modern twist on classic noir draws inspiration from legendary films like The Big Heat, Chinatown, and L.A. Confidential. We’ll discuss the show’s throwback vibes, the clever nods to noir history, and, of course, those plot twists you never saw coming.

Fair warning: spoilers ahead! There’s no shortage of surprises to unravel in this thrilling detective tale.
