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.
