Great Episode.
Tucker, in a similar vein to Dead Man's Shoes, do you remember the name of the old British War movie about the bomb disposal unit that you once recommended? Maybe it was black and white and the guy had only one leg or something? I've gone lookin, but haven't been able to re-find the episode where you mention it.

Moose: You're thinking of The Small Back Room, the Michael Powell movie. Love that one, totally amazing movie. Enjoy!
