Show Notes:
1. Another episode inspired by Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast. Guest Richard Benjamin said that on the set of Westworld (1973), Yul Brynner taught him how to fire a revolver without flinching. I imagined a cowboy or gunman named Flinch Hipshot. Then realized it could be a bizarro version of Falk, a gunman who always misses.

2. “Six-Spotted Tiger Beetle” was the superhero name that Ritt Breed suggested for Castro way back in Episode 9, “Invasion of the Emerald Ash Borer.”
