opening the door for 80s Noir

American Gigolo starts off about a Gigolo and the plates he had to keep spinning to keep his car and apartment and status and he navigates the changing landscape of LA as the 70s give way to the 80s.... and the murder he has gotten caught up in.
I checked it out as it was covered on the You Must Remember This Podcast: Erotic 80s series
