Ep. 87 - A HAUNTING IN VENICE

In this episode we are joined by mystery novelist Eloise Corvo! She regales us with stories about horrors on the hiking trail and explains how the original Scooby-Doo TV show is a lot like Agatha Christie -- and it's not because Ms. Christie liked Scooby snacks. She also dishes about her upcoming book OFF THE BEATEN PATH -- a brand new cozy mystery coming soon to a bookstore near you. Get out your Halloween candy (or your favorite Venetian pastry!) and join us as we guess on A HAUNTING IN VENICE!

You can follow Eloise online to find out exactly when her book is available online at www.eloisecorvo.com, on Instagram @eloisecorvo, or on TikTok @author_eloisecorvo.

Ep. 86 - HIGH POTENTIAL - "Croaked"

The only thing -- the ONLY thing -- you need to know about this episode is that this is the one where Jessica admits to licking a banana slug (not a euphemism) at Girl Scout camp in order to get high! At one point we also thought that a lizard might turn into an extra from Jurassic Park, Jacob confesses why he cleans in the buff, and we're both convinced that backstage on the set of HIGH POTENTIAL is just a mixture of show tunes and boxing -- but really you're only here for the banana slug story. Get your guesses in and get listening!

We're starting an exotic pet menagerie on the Cluedunnit Patreon! (patreon.com/cluedunnitpodcast) What pets should we have in it? What pets should we absolutely keep out? Come on over and let us know!

We watched HIGH POTENTIAL season 1, episode 5, "Croaked."

Ep. 85 - WHITSTABLE PEARL - "A Cup of Kindness"

I'm a fan of oysters. I'm a fan of beer. Would I be a fan of oyster beer? (Stout, to be specific...) Who knows! But I am a fan of this show -- despite Mr. Grumpy-guts roaming around the docks and beaches. Apparently he is part some kind of British archetype dating back to possibly before ... checks notes ... Wuthering Heights and Heathcliff? Cue the Kate Bush and complicated female characters!

We're going to start a microbrewery over the the Cluedunnit Patreon! (patreon.com/cluedunnitpodcast) Come on over and tell us what weird things we should throw in our beer!

We watched WHITSTABLE PEARL, season 1, episode 5, "A Cup of Kindness."

Ep. 84 - Matlock (2024) - "The Rabbit and the Hawk"

What do CHINATOWN, THE MUSIC MAN, and FISK have in common? Absolutely nothing! But that doesn't stop Jacob from comparing them to MATLOCK, all in a desperate attempt to delay his guesses. Jessica makes a much better case for this episode to be a lot like THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY -- but loses points for her inability to whistle the theme song. We clean up the water damage and make some guesses in this very visceral episode.

Guess what! We're starting our own white-shoe guessing law firm over at patreon.com/cluedunnitpodcast ! Come on by and tell us what field of law you'd practice!

We watched MATLOCK, season 1, episode 4, "The Rabbit and the Hawk"

Ep. 83 - Harrow - "Sub Silentio"

We've seen a lot of fake dead bodies -- like, a LOT -- but none of them have been as unsettling as the ones in HARROW! Truly, extra credit to all the artisans and makeup experts on this show. This show removes a stomach from a body and empties it out on camera. If it's true that everything in Australia can kill you, then this show sets out to demonstrate how you'd figure that out. With so many lethalities populating Down Under, will that make it harder or easier for us to guess whodunit?

Hetty Wainthropp Investigates - "Family Values"

It's fun to approach HETTY WAINTHROPP INVESTIGATES as the biography of the world's foremost MURDER, SHE WROTE cosplayer. An English pensioner decides she's not going to let Jessica Fletcher have all the fun, and opens her own investigation agency -- after recruiting a criminally young hobbit. OK, the metaphor breaks down, people. But we had a lot of fun debating the difference between a pond and a fountain, whether or not murder accusations follow middle school fart logic, and how old you have to be in order to get really creative with the swears.

New Tricks - "17 Years of Nothing"

How confident is this show? The pilot of this show introduces the main character as she shoots a dog. And not in an "Old Yeller" kinda way! This shows has an exposition dump about salami. This show lights a freezer like it's a portal to the Twilight Zone, has boars eating a human body, and names a pathologist after a medieval fox. My friends, this show has no f*&%$ to give -- except when it comes to closing old cases, and we love it for that.

Elementary - "The Game's Underfoot"

Hey! We've got a Patreon now! Ever wanted to know what merchandise a show should have made? Or how Jessica learned to make smoke rings? Well all this plus early access to episodes and MORE can be yours! Join the fun over at https://www.patreon.com/c/CluedunnitPodcast. 

We've got a really trashy episode for you this week! The 20-teens version of Sherlock (nope, not that one -- the American one with Lucy Liu) goes looking for a left-handed archaeologist and discovers the sordid underbelly of urban development along with '80s video game urban myths. But first we tackle the really big questions: Is there anything better than an answering machine for delivering exposition? Is pie the official food of private investigators? Will Jacob ever remember an actor's name? 

We watched ELEMENTARY season 4, episode 5, "The Game's Underfoot." Spoilers ahead!

Dead Boy Detectives - "The Case of the Two Dead Dragons"

After taking it away from Max, Netflix took Dead Boy Detectives to the max! They test the premise in simple ways (turning a crow into a heartsick teen), inventive (using a magic bag to hide from a demon from the depths of Hell) and macabre (I guarantee you have never seen sausage links used like this). And we finally get to do some legit bonkers guessing! But do we get it right? (And where do the Dead Boys get their office supplies?) We watched Dead Boy Detectives season 1, episode 5, "The Case of the Two Dead Dragons." Spoilers ahead!

Maigret - "Maigret and the Night Club Dancer"

It's a guest star extravanza! This show has the same number of guest stars as Maigret creator George Simenon had maids that he slept with. (It's more than you think!) This hard-boiled, early '90s take on a 1950s detective has smoking, stripping, saxophones direct from the '80s -- and famous people doing depraved things for love and drugs. Did the cognitive dissonance keep us from guessing whodunnit? Or can we actually get a win? We Watched Maigret season 2, episode 1, "Maigret and the Night Club Dancer."
