It’s one of our most controversial episodes ever! Marty and Scott, who usually agree on pretty much everything, duke it out over two of tonight’s three detective-laden offerings… but find common ground by dunking on the third.

In this episode, Scott and Marty learn how to whistle by blowing through Bacall’s first two decades onscreen. Jump around a bit, why don’t you? To Have and Have Not (1944, Dir.…
So, this one’s called “An Exercise in Fatality” because it’s about an exercise dude. Get it? And then there’s “Stranger than Fiction,” and that one’s about an author, see?
