Episode Details

This week, I'm reading the eighth chapter of the Peter David penned movie novelization of the 1991 Rocketeer film.  This chapter introduces us to the Bulldog Cafe and tells us why Jenny's phone number is written on the wall next to the pay phone.  I always wondered about that and figured it was either a reference to the Tommy Tutone single from the 80s ("867-5309 / Jenny") or maybe the guys at the airfield had put her number up there to get a rise out of Cliff ("for a good time, call Jenny!"). 

The chapter also introduces the Rocketeer's iconic helmet for the first time. 

Thanks for listening!
