Cyberpunk as a Noir subgenre
Since I read my first Cyberpunk novel (The Artificial Kid) I've felt it was a subgenera of Noir. For your consideration, I submit Upgrade, a 2018 film that I believe ticks all the boxes for Noir, particularly with its disillusionment and its unbalanced composition.

Silkhaven Pulp - You Never Stop Fighting for Peace
While Silkhaven Pulp rightly bills itself as a noir story, I'm highlighting this episode because it makes for an interesting alt-history. It sounds like Dan Carlin narrating a history of the eastern seaboard of a U.S. that never existed.
