Episode Details

Dolly Parton's death set off a week of strange entertainment stories, and film critic Richard Crouse walks through the strangest ones. One involves a song nobody will hear for two decades. The other involves a real house from a Batman movie that could be sold off over an animal problem nobody expected.

A Song Nobody Can Hear Yet
Dolly Parton left fans one more song, but it is sealed in a chestnut box that will not open for years, and even Kelly Clarkson wants to dig it up early. Richard also gets into the real Wayne Manor from a Batman film, and why its owners are on the clock over what is living inside the walls.

Cocktails Built for a Cartoon Courtroom
Richard Crouse reviews Coyote versus Acme, the animated legal comedy nearly shelved for good, then turns bartender for drinks inspired by the Looney Tunes characters themselves. Several use a childhood pantry staple in a way that was never intended.
