Parallel, episode 89 of This Gun in My Hand, was pulled together from disparate pieces by Rob Northrup. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog. Visit http://ThisGuninMyHand.blogspot.com for credits, show notes, archives, information on how to subscribe, and to buy my books, such as Little Heist in the Big Woods and Other Revisionist Atrocities. What ensures all the threads come together at the climax? This Gun in My Hand!

Show Notes:
1. It’s not a bad Sean Connery impression you’re hearing. It’s a bad Sebastian Gorka. Damn, I should have pronounced it “clark” instead of “clerk.”

2. This episode was inspired by movies and shows like The Phantom Menace, Return of the Jedi, Stranger Things Season 4 (part one?). Did they use this multi-setting climax technique in many or any movies in the 1930s?

Credits:
The opening music was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.

Fake commercial music is from the public domain film Five for Hell (5 PER L'INFERNO, 1969).
