Summary

Welcome back, screamers. On today's show: more of the early-Alts with Altman's take on the private eye (and we mean the private eye: Marlowe) The Long Goodbye. It's a shaggy, laconic tale of friendship, deception, and a man out of time and place. We also wonder what it would be like to be drug lords...but, you know, altruistic drug lords.
