This week’s show is VERY uncomfortable affair as we explore two Pre-Code movies that you may need to watch through your fingers, for very different reasons…

Lionel Atwill is a big-game hunting millionaire with a penchant for gory tailor work in ‘Murders In The Zoo, and Irene Dunne plays a newlywed who discovers that her husband’s mother fosters a deeply unhealthy obsession with him in ‘The Silver Cord’…

We’ve got music from The Ink Spots, a helpful guide on how to use coffee to reduce crime, and a game show appearance from Basil Rathbone, who has a secret…

Radio entertainment comes this week from the wonderful Lights Out!
