Show Notes and Video Playlist: Episode 13-2: The Girl, The Gold Watch, and Everything

*We hope you enjoy this season's look at a TV movie. We don't give this particular one a strong recommendation, but we have fun discussing it.

*The full movie and its sequel are in our video playlist this week (See below for link).

*We talk about Operation Prime Time in our Entertainment Tonight episode, and you can read about its creator Al Masini  here.

*The Girl, The Gold Watch, and Everything premiered in many if not most markets June 13, 1980. On the podcast, you can hear what else aired that night.

*The credited writers on the theme song, "Two Hearts in Perfect Time," are Ayn Robbins and Hod David Schudson.

*John Moschitta Jr. may have talked "at regular speed" in some gigs, but I haven't seen them! Peter Kevoian, who is the actor we think resembles him in this movie, went on to appear as a fireman in two episodes of Cheers.

*The San Diego Padres finished in last place in the National League West in 1980, 19.5 gamed behind the Houston Astros.

*One of the goons is played by Peter Brown, who had a long acting career highlighted by regular roles in westerns Laredo and Lawman.

*I think we convey our attitude about the movie without much ambiguity!

*The Girl, The Gold Watch, and Dynamite premiered in 1981 and starred Lee Purcell (ss Bonnie), Morgan Fairchild, and Philip MacHale (as Kirby). 

*John D. MacDonald's original novel is readily available and as of this writing is available in a cheap ebook format!
