Show Notes:
1. Depending which dictionary you look in, “impassionate” is a contronym that can mean passionate or dispassionate.

2. Anachronism: according to Vogue India, “Designers Salvatore Ferragamo, Roger Vivier and André Perugia have all been credited with inventing the stiletto [heel], sometime between 1948 and 1954.” As so often happens in Parabellum City, Sickubus is a little ahead of her time.

3. Catch-2022 paraphrases the “snails and oysters” innuendo from the bath scene from Spartacus (1960), which no one in 1939 would recognize. In fact, the scene was censored from the original release and wasn’t widely available to the public until a restored version in 1991.

4. I learned a new word from Freesound dot org: “borborygmus,” growling or rumbling sound made as food, fluids or gas passes through the stomach or intestines. Plural, “borborygmi.”

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.

A Match Made in Heck's Pantry - Episode 93

Can Falk keep control of one cuffed criminal while following a trail of clues left by another crazed spree killer? Will someone make a love connection or is this episode title completely misleading? Listen to find out!

A Match Made in Heck’s Pantry, episode 93 of This Gun in My Hand, was ignited by Rob Northrup.

Who’s the only smoker that gets close to me? This Gun in My Hand!

Show Notes:
1. This episode was partly inspired by Columbo and other cozy or formulaic murder mysteries, in which the culprit usually offers no resistance once the detective announces the final piece of evidence that proves they did it.

2. Public defenders were not provided across the country until Gideon v. Wainwright in 1963, but there were cities, counties and states that provided them as early as 1913.

3. My grandfather threatened to leave only one dollar in his will to any of his children who smoked, according to my dad. It worked! None of his kids smoked.

4. Pete Larsen came up with the names Patch Work and Pat Schwerk. Thanks, Pete!
