  1. I'm just starting this episode and am thrilled you're doing DETOUR, one of my favorite films of all time! I love it so much I even made a custom trailer that I'm sure you all will enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkwETw6mZ6k (in fact, do you use its audio in this episode's opening? If so, that makes me very happy...) Keep up the great work...

  2. I'm also happy that you dedicated an episode for this small film noir gem, Edgar Ulmer is a great and almost forgotten director who deserves more credit.
