This week, revisit "The Benefactor" with Dan and Roberta ... "Profoundly Sad" introduces us to the world of Jimmy and Bobbie Barrett ...  

  • Leopold & Loeb - Dan was off on his description of Leopold & Loeb, confusing them with Bruno Richard Hauptmann.  L&L kidnapped and murdered an adolescent, Bobby Franks, in 1924.  Hauptmann kidnapped and murdered the Lindbergh Baby in 1932.  
  • The Benefactor, the episode of The Defenders, aired on April 28, 1962. 
  • Roberta and Dan have a super uncomfortable conversation and then go waaay long on research  
  • Aaaaand finally, our Twitter fans have pointed out that Ginny Sacrimoni on the Sopranos was played by the terrific Denise Borino-Quinn, but Edith Shilling on Mad Men was played by the fabulous Jan Hoag.  They're not the same actress.  Where were all these eagle-eyes (and ears) when I nailed everything in Season 1????
