    Episode 147: Deadlock in Parma
    Nov 24 2024
    Well friends, here we are. Nathan and Eppy take a day trip with Jim to Parma, CA in the series finale episode. The sixth season of The Rockford Files was cut short by James Garner's medical needs, so this last episode was not intended to be a goodbye to the series. Thankfully, we found that it did feel like an appropriate way to bid adieu to Jim, the Firebird, and all of the Rockfordishness we love so much. This is the last regular episode of this podcast! We will have a couple new episodes a year covering other shows in the wider Rockford/Garner/PI-i-verse, but we have now talked about every episode, of The Rockford Files. Thanks for listening! We have another podcast: Plus Expenses. Covering our non-Rockford media, games and life chatter, Plus Expenses is available via our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/twohundredaday) at ALL levels of support. Thanks Patrons!

    Episode 145: The Kirkoff Case
    Nov 10 2024
    Nathan and Eppy start from the beginning with S1E1 The Kirkoff Case. Jim's client is a real slimeball who's been arraigned, but not prosecuted, for murdering his own parents. The money is too good for Jim to drop the case, and then it gets personal when he takes a beating from not a "goon", but a "labor organizer". This series premiere episode shows us that this PI gets beat up a lot, but he doesn't quit - and he's going to be a hell of a lot of fun to watch. Add in a noir-inflected plot and great casting, we're confident in saying that if you wanted to start watching The Rockford Files, this would be a good place to start! We have another podcast: Plus Expenses. Covering our non-Rockford media, games and life chatter, Plus Expenses is available via our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/twohundredaday) at ALL levels of support. Show Notes: We mention this podcast from TV Confidentional (https://edrobertson.com/tag/lou-antonio-rockford-files/) with director Lou Antonio, Lou Antonio's memoir Cool Hand Lou (https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/cool-hand-lou/?srsltid=AfmBOoplp_o0vVa37KjZybVvQ2boz-IyIKrYH7dvfU-3awD33P0joi0w), and here's the website for the historic Tail o' the Pup (https://www.tailothepup.com) in LA.
