Drop the top on your white Cadillac and crank up the stereo, because on this week's episode, we're discussing Dorothy B. Hughes 1963 political noir, The Expendable Man.

There are bad first impressions, and then there's finally meeting the nice doctor you've heard a lot about and been set up with on a date, and he sweatily explains to you that he's being framed for botching the abortion of a pregnant hitchhiker and he's the prime suspect. But you can't tell his family because he's only in town for his niece's wedding.
