"Profoundly Sad" (S2E3) (The Benefactor)

We have a Patreon! Extra content for our patrons; if you like what we do and you're able, throw in a shekel. 

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????
