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????
