Today, we have another double discussion! In space, no one can hear you scream, and some would say it's the perfect place to commit crime. What laws are in place when we are among the stars? Whose authority do people answer to? Then we come back down to earth and talk about the gentleman thief, Lupin. While his methods may put him over the wrong side of the law, he is a thief with the heart of gold and even put up against the famous detective, Sherlock Holmes- I mean, Herlock Sholmes.
