Centennarian Robert Mitchum was a giant of cinema, a towering figure,
and as we find out, a man who lived life as a hobo, calypso singer, and
drunken thrower of basketballs at women's heads. Jeff and Vinnie sit
down with his body of work, and also discuss the first man to
successfully land a plane on a boat, the very same man who like three
days later died trying it again, and the surprising 1917 origins of
anime!

WEEK THIRTY: J Edgar Hoover

People with skeletons in the closet beware: 100 years ago today, J Edgar Hoover started building a dossier against you! The longtime head of the FBI, cross-dresser, and blackmail enthusiast started his government work in 1917! Jeff and Vinnie also quiz themselves on the vocabulary of 1917, discuss the Renaissance man James Weldon Johnson, and put their Jimmys together -- phrasing -- do duelling Jimmy Stewart impressions.
