A noisy day at the park, when suddenly–it’s oh so quiet. Gunshots are muffled. Wrestling grunts are barely audible. Can Falk restore order to the soundscape?

This Gun in My Hand! Show Notes: 1. One of my earliest radio plays was a group project for Creative Writing class in high school, probably 1989. My friends Jeff, Julian and I wrote a script parodying Star Trek, cobbled together from jokes we had probably absorbed reading Mad Magazine. Only five or ten minutes long, we recorded it on tape and played it in class. I’m not sure why Mr. Groesser apologized to the class afterwards, maybe because of the bad language like “Damn!” or “Bloody Hell!” At one point Jeff did the voice of a vendor at a baseball game, calling out, “peaNUTS! Popcorn!” maybe to hint at how large the ship is. I tried to recreate his delivery here. When Julian’s girlfriend heard the tape, she asked what girl we had cast for the voice of Uhura. She wouldn’t believe I had done it. No effects software to raise the pitch, I did it all in the delivery. 2. Whispering Wind and Blessed Day (aka Muckbang, aka Peatboom) first appeared in episode 60, “Hush, Sweet Zildjian.” https://archive.org/details/tgimh-60-hush-sweet-zildjian 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.

Celebrating 100 years of Parabellum City, The City That Never Misses! Will Falk survive? Will Petra? Was your lack of a nickel the final nail in her coffin? Listen to find out! Parabellum City Passes a C-Note, episode 100 of This Gun in My Hand, was founded and passed by Rob Northrup -- who would like to remind you that This Gun in My Hand is a work of fiction.

What will I use to get a message to the bank? This Gun in My Hand! Show Notes: 1. The history of Parabellum City is inspired by the founding of Jacksonberg, aka Jacksonopolis, aka Jackson, aka Jacktown, aka Rose City, aka Prison City. They’re not meant to be the same. Parabellum City is bigger. Jackson is not what I’d call a toddlin’-class town. 2. Fruity ad inspired by “He Was Her Man” (Merrie Melodies, 1936). Content warning: the domestic violence they got away with in 1936 cartoons is unreal. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x60u9yo 3. Wikipedia says “In some cities in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, the key to the city is given to the so-called 'prins carnaval' who leads the carnivals which take place the week prior to Septuagesima.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_the_City#Key_to_the_City 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.

How do I pin a person to the mat? With This Gun in My Hand! Show Notes: 1. I was going to insert a sample of “Hey Murgatroyd, let’s go-o-oo!” from “Jam On It” by Newcleus, but I couldn’t isolate the vocal from the not-very-1939 music. 2. Falk might be thinking of the Wallace Beery wrestling picture Flesh (1932). 3. Don Knotts would count as an animal shapeshifter in The Incredible Mister Limpet (1964), right? I watched the full movie last night because that’s the level of commitment I bring to researching this show. 4. Regina slips up when she says, “I already said the episode title…” proving that she is really Petra! but Falk misses it. Credits: The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950). The music clip during the commercial was from The Scar (1948, aka Hollow Triumph). The closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), all three films in the public domain.

What happens when Falk gets stuck in a screwball comedy? Can Falk weed out the humans from the androids? Do androids dream of His Girl Friday? Listen to find out! Do Androids Dream of His Girl Friday? , episode 98 of This Gun in My Hand, was manufactured not by the Tyrell Corporation but by Rob Northrup, using dialogue from the 1940 public domain film His Girl Friday, which was adapted from the 1928 public domain play The Front Page.

How do I survive a screwball comedy? With This Gun in My Hand! Show Notes: 1. The 1940 film His Girl Friday was adapted from a 1928 stage play titled The Front Page, both in the public domain. Dialogue in this episode was taken from His Girl Friday. (Link below.) It’s excellent but has (CONTENT WARNING) the kind of racism and sexism you might expect in a 1940 film. There’s also a one hour Lux Radio Theater adaptation starring Fred MacMurray and Claudette Colbert; a Screen Guild Theater radio adaptation starring Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell squeezed down into a half hour; and an even more offensive, grittier 1970 film of The Front Page starring Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. And there’s a 1931 film version of The Front Page which I have yet to watch. https://archive.org/details/his_girl_friday Credits: The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), with transitional music from His Girl Friday (1940) and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), all 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 two women saying “pixielated” were from the Campbell Playhouse radio adaptation of “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town,” broadcast February 11, 1940, public domain.

They’re actually shouting, “Zoooo!” A manticore is a mythical creature. They love him so much, they want to keep him in a zoo. 2. The audio credits at the end of the first episode of This Gun in My Hand said that all the voices were by one person, but not everyone listens to the credits or reads the show notes, as you might be demonstrating if you’re not reading this. 3. The reviews that Paul claims to have found in radio magazines are actual reviews of this podcast posted on various websites.

My love for who is way out of line? This Gun in My Hand! 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. https://www.vogue.in/content/the-history-of-the-stiletto 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.

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.

What ensures all the threads come together at the climax? This Gun in My Hand! Show Notes: 1. It’s not a bad Sean Connery impression you’re hearing. It’s a bad Sebastian Gorka. Damn, I should have pronounced it “clark” instead of “clerk.” 2. This episode was inspired by movies and shows like The Phantom Menace, Return of the Jedi, Stranger Things Season 4 (part one?). Did they use this multi-setting climax technique in many or any movies in the 1930s?

Show Notes: 1. There was no consensus or large group of credible scientists in the Twentieth Century claiming that another ice age was coming soon. It was always a fringe belief. I’m not using a handful of Erich Von Däniken-adjacent crackpots to argue against the overwhelming scientific consensus today about impending climate catastrophe. It’s just funny that the tiny minority of ice age warners were so wrong. 2. Fascinating article about honey bee sex. Did you know that male bees have no father, they do have a grandfather, they can be fathers to daughters, granddaughters and grandsons, but they can’t have sons? https://wisconsinpollinators.com/Bee/BA_HoneyBeeSex.aspx 3. It kills me that The Green Hornet radio show had episodes about narrowly focused crimes like the vanity publishing racket, the citizenship papers racket, a protection racket that bombed fruit stands, a protection racket that bombed gas stations, and another protection racket for parking lot attendants. 4. When I was in elementary school in the late 1970s, there was a big fuss locally about banning kids from selling or possessing red hot cinnamon toothpicks in school. Basically toothpicks boiled in flavored water or syrup and you chew or suck on them like gum. I don’t remember if the danger was that some kids were allergic or poking themselves or each other or swallowing them, or just that students selling things was “disruptive” unless it was girl scout cookies or book sales. 5. In the Commodore 64 version of the game Castle Wolfenstein, you could find useful items on dead guards or in supply chests including bullets, grenades, keys, uniforms, sauerkraut and Liebfraumilch. 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. Machine gun fire sound taken from the public domain film Commandos (1968). Löwenbräu jingle (“Here’s to Good Friends”) written by Bill Backer. I’m hoping companies aren’t too strict about copyright for 45 year old commercials. Parody counts as “fair use,” right?

What’s the last thing I remember? This Gun in My Hand! Show Notes: 1. I did not watch the 1915 Birth of a Nation to research this episode. Maybe Papo is lying or misremembering his scenes in the movie. I have watched the 2016 Birth of a Nation. They changed a few key details in that remake. 2. Lillian Gish, Henry B. Walthall, Elmer Clifton, Spottiswoode Aitken and Elmo Lincoln appeared in Birth of a Nation and some other D.W.

How will you know when the real Falk Zildjian steps up? This Gun in My Hand! Show Notes: 1. Peanut butter was widely known by 1939. 2. Yes, there should be a circumflex over the letter “o” in Fantômas but English websites might lose their minds or display it as a glitch so I’m avoiding it, especially in titles and filenames. 3. Spanish pun made possible in part by the song “Más” by the Mexican band Kinky – awesome theme song to the 2003 tv show Kingpin, which walked so Breaking Bad could run. https://youtu.be/jnakM3eGYjw 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.

All eighty-two episodes of This Gun in My Hand up to this point have been delivered in glorious MONO, but the promo was in stereo.
