Summary
We are rounding out Classics month with a real, undeniable classic: it’s Billy Wilder’s 1944 noir Double Indemnity! Did everyone else already know that this movie is about insurance? No, really, a lot of the plot revolves around insurance policies! Also, point of order, Erika and Paul would like to formally apologize to all Lolas for the slander on this episode. They will try (but probably fail) to do better in the future.
We would so appreciate your help in filling out our Listener Survey!!
