Goodbye, Honey - Episode 52

IS THIS THE END OF FALK ZILDJIAN? No, some other schlemiel you never heard of catches a bullet. Wait, why am I killing suspense in the teaser text? Maybe Falk does die! Listen to find out!

Goodbye, Honey, episode 52 of This Gun in My Hand, the final episode of Season Four, was shot down and resurrected by Rob Northrup.

How can I possibly say goodbye? With This Gun in My Hand!

Show Notes:
1. I stole the name "Soupmeat" from the movie Robin and the 7 Hoods (1964).

2. The Automat was a cross between a restaurant and a vending machine. Fresh, hot food of all kinds were prepared and set in little windows that could be opened by customers inserting coins. You can catch scenes of them in movies up to the 1960s like That Touch of Mink (1962). Most of them closed by the Seventies.

3. There’s at least one episode of the Green Hornet radio show where bad guys toss bombs into produce stores, trying to intimidate them into paying protection money. That kills me. Weren’t there any richer targets in town? Did fruit sellers make a lot more money in the Thirties?

4. Cheesy Cauliflower and Mushroom Gougère is one of the five recipes in my short story collection, Dungeons and Dayjobs, available in print or ebook from Lulu dot com.

Credits:
The opening music clip and the one just before the Farmer Jacques commercial were from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain.
