    2. A few of Francis’ lines were shamelessly stolen from my memory of “Pinch Singer,” a 1936 Little Rascals short of which, sadly, I can’t find a free version on the web.

    Credits:
    The opening and middle transitional music clips were from public domain film The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950). Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.

Watching The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini (1966), The Bat (1959) or House on Haunted Hill (1959) will not necessarily prepare you for this episode, but it’d be a good excuse to put off listening to this episode.The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UyPC24qfI4The Bat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=td3OM8jbBJQHouse on Haunted Hill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jsnw-RNGKFY2. This Gun in My Hand is perpetually set in 1939. Patsy Kelly’s next movie after 1939 was released in October 1940, The Hit Parade of 1941, also known as Romance and Rhythm. Her reputation was enough to get her listed on the posters for this film, and pictured on some of them.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hit_Parade_of_1941#/media/File:Hit_Parade_of_1941.jpg3.

  • Cut Down in His Prime - Episode 111

    Cut Down in His Prime - Episode 111
    Aug 22 2024

    Falk misses! Who is The Loner? What are you, some kind of Rambling Man? A Wanderer? You find a dead body there, fella? Every day you find another body? Listen to find out!

    This episode was Cut Down in His Prime, episode 111 of This Gun in My Hand, found on the side of a dusty road and dusted off by Rob Northrup. Like all other episodes, this one is 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 Little Heist in the Big Woods and Other Revisionist Atrocities. Why are so many people alone in this town? This Gun in My Hand!

    Show Notes:
    1. I think it still counts as illegal breaking and/or entering if a door is unlocked, maybe even if the door is ajar. Or maybe that’s vampire rules, entering without an invitation. While we’re debunking legal myths, you can ask an undercover cop if they’re a cop, they are not required by law to tell you. And declaring yourself a “sovereign citizen” is not One Weird Trick to convince cops or prosecutors that their laws don’t apply to you.

    Credits:
    The opening music clip 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.
