The Late Show

Uncertain Age

Welcome to Uncertain Age! This week, AR (Anna) Nicholas, Dale Basye, and special guest film critic and author Justin Tanner take on their biggest case yet: reviewing the 1977 Neo-noir mystery The Late Show. Art Carney plays Ira Wells, a world-weary private investigator nearing retirement, whose world is turned upside down when his partner is murdered, leading him on a search for a missing cat owned by eccentric talent manager Margo Sperling (Lily Tomlin). Is the film the perfect crime or is it just a shot in the dark? Find out on Uncertain Age!
