About this episode

Nathan and Eppy discuss the series premiere of The Rockford Files, focusing on the episode 'The Kirkoff Case'.

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 at ALL levels of support. Show Notes : We mention this podcast from TV Confidentional with director Lou Antonio, Lou Antonio's memoir Cool Hand Lou , and here's the website for the historic Tail o' the Pup in LA.
