Bottle Episode, This Gun in My Hand’s 139th, was kept alive and shoved in a jar 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, and to buy my books, such as Sisyphus, Eat Your Heart Out, available in paperback and ebook from Amazon. Which is the real monster, the creator? His creation? This Gun in My Hand!
Show Notes:
1. Falk’s claim about what temperature constitutes “t-shirt weather” in Michigan is debatable. You’ll see some people not of sound minds wearing short sleeves and shorts at 30 F or less.
2. The Technocrat quotes from the Wikipedia entry on Dubstep without giving attribution. He might be a plagiarist but I’m not. This is me, Rob Northrup, giving attribution that I quoted most of a line from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubstep which “emerged as a UK garage offshoot that blended two-step rhythms and sparse dub production, incorporating elements of broken beat, grime, and drum and bass.”
3. Musical subgenres are way too arcane for me to understand so my characters don’t understand it either. I’m not vouching for any of the claims they make.
Credits:
The opening and later music clips were 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.

The image accompanying this episode is a modified detail of a panel from the public domain comic book Forbidden Worlds, Number 33, September 1954. Pencils and inks by Lloyd Cynwald.
Image Alt text: Line art panel from a comic book. A man with red hair wearing green scrubs and holding a scalpel leans over a man on a gurney or table, covered by a white sheet. Angled skylight windows are behind the surgeon. A light hangs low over the table. Dark glass jars like you might see in a laboratory are in the foreground, connected to each other by tubes. Caption across the top reads “HOW WILL FALK AND PETRA ESCAPE – THE BOTTLE EPISODE!” A word balloon pointing to the surgeon reads, “OH MY GOD, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TECHNO! THE TEREMIN INFLUENCE COMES FROM PETROGRAD, BUT ANY IDIOT KNOW THAT DUBSTEP EMERGED AS A UK GARAGE OFFSHOT BLENDING 2-STEP RHYTHMS WITH SPARSE…” The font in the word balloon gets smaller and smaller toward the end.
