UP IN YOUR ARMS (series masterlist) - Noir!Joel Miller x AFAB!Reader

summary: Joel Miller is a deadbeat. He admits that. Coming back from the military after suffering a gunshot to the head- he's unemployable. He has no family, his wife having left him before he was drafted and his daughter dying of scarlet fever. Only his brother is left. And, the reckless idiot Tommy is, he gets caught up in the gang culture of Boston, bootlegging alcohol and the like. 

It's only a matter of time before Joel finds himself in The Canary Club, an underground speakeasy. Where he meets you, the headline act. 

a note from lucy: another joel!ay series. someone stop me i beg of yoy. make sure to read the warnings before the fic. dont forget to follow @cherub-notifs and turn on 'get notifications' to be notified when i post. xxx

Ever wonder what Peter Lorre speaking Hebrew might have sounded like?

I found this clip through Bluesky (the new Twitter for non-inbreds). Its from an Israeli movie called "the City" (2023). From what I gather, it's a "hip-hop musical" and parody of film noir.

The short guy definitely sounds like he's doing a Peter Lorre impression. And in a trailer with English subtitles, he says this:

The trailer reveals the actor's name as Idan Alterman, but no cast listing I could find gives any name for his character. Not a bad PL impression though.

Anyway, "the City" is now on my to-see list. I just hope there's a version with English subtitles.
