Robert Kennedy did indeed write in his book The Pursuit of Justice "Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on." However, he prefaced it with "In the words of the old saying." Amy's a lazy librarian, so someone else should go look up where it actually originated.

The problem with learning your culture through the written word is that you often don't know how to pronounce things. So, with that in mind, Amy would like to let you know that the correct way to say "louche" is so that the vowel sound rhymes with coo, not cow. (She used it to describe Stamp's Zod.) Also, Beethoven's "Eroica" is not pronounced remotely like the way Amy mangled it. Say "heroic." Now add an "uh" to the end. Take of the aitch sound. Change the first vowel from ee to uh. There, now you've got it.

On the Next Show

Randy asked for underrated works, so Amy chose the little seen/known film The Life Before Her Eyes for Uma Thurman's performance, while Joe picked one of Louisa May Alcott's books that has nothing to do with the March family: Eight Cousins.
