Hetty Wainthropp Investigates - "Family Values" 59:44

14d ago59:44

59:44

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 o…

New Tricks - "17 Years of Nothing" 59:56

28d ago59:56

59:56

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 …

Elementary - "The Game's Underfoot" 58:52

1M ago58:52

58:52

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 Sher…

Dead Boy Detectives - "The Case of the Two Dead Dragons" 58:03

2M ago58:03

58:03

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 gu…

1
Maigret - "Maigret and the Night Club Dancer" 59:56

5M ago59:56

59:56

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 c…

Only Murders in the Building - "Open and Shut" 20:03

6M ago20:03

20:03

This is the end -- or the beginning of Season 2! Jess floats (and gloats) in an amazing victory while Jacob deals with his feelings. We exult in the power of the side eye in a close up, revel in the madness of a punning mass murderer, and clutch our pearls over the possibility of an Evil Ira Glass. Plus, Jacob denies every having worried about gett…

1
Elsbeth - "Something Blue" 58:36

6M ago58:36

58:36

It's another how-catch-em! Even after we know the criminal, can we guess how they catch 'em? Is Elsbeth really just Batman with tote bags? Can you make it rain with Post-It Notes? Does Nancy Silverton's latest cookbook give us a clue as to how the murderer is caught? Listen and find out as we watch Elsbeth season one episode 7, "Something Blue." Wh…

1
Only Murders in the Building - "Double Time" 18:58

7M ago18:58

18:58

Is the game "Peek-a-Boo" true crime for the pre-K set? Does a body double know you better than yourself? And does Jessica really think Only Murders is like the Barbra Streisand / Nick Nolte romance about childhood abuse "Prince of Tides"? We're on episode 9 of Only Murders in the Building Season 1. Are we finally close to learning whodunit? While y…

1
So Help Me Todd - Twelve Worried Persons 59:41

7M ago59:41

59:41

There's so much musical theatre talent in this episode we nearly burst into song. We didn't, but we did create radio plays based on TV and theatre's on-again/off-again relationship. Jessica makes an incredible faux pas around murder boards while we launch an investigation into whether a BMW or an old Volkswagen bus make a better bitchin' private in…

1
Only Murders in the Building - "Fan Fiction" 17:08

7M ago17:08

17:08

Follow me now into an episode of mirrors where our fake-crime fan podcast about a TV show about a true crime podcast that stages a play with their fans to create a fake ending to their totally made-up real mystery. I think the idea of "meta" just collapsed under the weight of this conceit. Can we salvage some correct guesses out of the rubble? And …

1
Will Trent - "Two Hundred Dollars and a Bus Pass" 55:23

7M ago55:23

55:23

We go back to college with Will Trent! Our senior thesis group project is trying to make a detective show built entirely around tea. Which is good because apparently Jacob has only been eating raw egg smoothies while training to get better at guessing. Maybe he should have just stuck to the experimental drugs like the college kids in this episode w…

1
Mrs. Sidhu Investigates - "Killer App" 59:55

8M ago59:55

59:55

Our favorite caterer passes the PI test! She has a bitchin' car, so she can solve all the crimes she wants to as far as we're concerned. Jessica shares some conspiracy theories about the album "Abbey Road" that go beyond "Paul is dead," and maps out England's comeback as Christmas movie king. But can she correctly guess the killer? While you’re onl…

1
Only Murders in the Building - "The Boy from 6B" 19:58

8M ago19:58

19:58

We get loud about a silent episode! We learn what Teddy's favorite musical is, just how bad Charles is at Scrabble, and, oh yeah, who killed Zoe. Get ready for some big emotions people because this episode rocked our world with revelations galore -- but only one line of spoken dialogue. Nathan Lane won an Emmy for this episode, so did the sound cre…

1
The Madame Blanc Mysteries - Season 2, Episode 7 56:07

8M ago56:07

56:07

We're not afraid to tackle the hard questions on this show. To wit: Would it be worth having a job based around antique bedpans to live in the South of France? Could a song about grandmas really be a number one hit? Would community theatre practitioners resort to a crime spree in order to fund their latest production? And maybe, somehow, with facts…

1
Only Murders in the Building - "To Protect and Serve" 20:35

9M ago20:35

20:35

We learn the truth about Gut Milk! And expired hummus! We also reflect on when people move beyond being "randos" or the femme fatale into actually being friends. And Jacob picks a new suspect who is ... a character on a barely-remembered Fox sitcom? While you’re online, sign up for your very own official Cluedunnit Private Investigator license! (ht…

Father Brown - "The Smallest of Things" 59:58

9M ago59:58

59:58

Father Brown meets a hero of his ... and gradually realizes she's a little cuckoo. But is she crazy enough to have murdered three people? And what exactly is Reiki applause? And could a stripper have the best role in a series led by a priest? Break out your scariest murder doll and guess along as we watch Father Brown solve "The Smallest of Things.…

1
Only Murders in the Building - "Twist" 20:56

9M ago20:56

20:56

They have a bitchin' car! Ladies and gentlemen, Only Murders in the Building has nailed another trope: Our fearless investigators now have a bitchin' 1973 Peugeot! Apparently it's in rough shape and needs to be brined which, OK, but it's good enough to get them out to Long Island and running on fumes and horrible puns. Mabel also finds the only all…

1
McDonald and Dodds - "Belvedere" 58:52

9M ago58:52

58:52

Tell me you were filmed post-COVID lockdown without telling me: There was a bike race, a changing of the guard, a lecture hall, a tai chi class, sunbathers, and a more frisbee throwers than the crowd outside a Phish concert -- all before the title sequence. We tackle whether serial killers eat french fries or salad, but do we guess the killer corre…

1
Only Murders in the Building - "The Sting" 20:08

10M ago20:08

20:08

Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig may get more screen time, but Sting is truly the star of this episode. Which makes us wonder: What other Steve Martin or Martin Short movies would benefit from having Stings as a co-star? Would he have been a good heart-throb in Roxanne? Sting as the fourth Amigo? Sting as the fiancee in Father of the Bride? But Steve and M…

1
Monk - "Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie" 59:32

10M ago59:32

59:32

They have three punctuation marks in one title, which is impressive, but I feel like they could have gotten more if they really tried. It's just begging for an exlamation mark at the end and I bet they could have put an umlaut over the "o" in Monk and really screwed with everyone. We debate our own head canon about who characters really are -- but …

1
Cluedunnit Interviews Kit Lambert 21:50

10M ago21:50

21:50

He actually exists! Despite our frequent jokes to the contrary, Kit Lambert is an actual real person, not just Jude Tindall's alter ego. And he was gracious enough to join us on the pod. Listen in to hear about angsty teenage poetry, honeymoon poison discoveries, and getting thrown out of a funeral's wake with a heavy metal band. Thanks, Kit! And h…

1
Only Murders in the Building - ”How Well Do You Know Your Neighbors?” 18:20

10M ago18:20

18:20

In the battle between Sting, a concertina, and a bassoon, which would you pick as more annoying? We also learn that Charles is allergic to cat hair (and stress) and that even though Oliver is apparently allergic to good taste he is one helluva fundraiser. This episode makes some truly horrific things funny, but did it help us guess the murderer? We…

1
Only Murders in the Building - ”Who Is Tim Kono?” 15:23

10M ago15:23

15:23

Jacob attempts to school Jessica about the natural pecking order of whales and bunnies, but all Jessica really learns is why Jacob nearly failed high school biology. Meanwhile, Jessica reveals something about herself we all should have seen coming. We watched Only Murders in the Building, season 1, episode 2, "Who Is Tim Kono?"…

1
The Irrational - ”The Barnum Effect” 59:43

12M ago59:43

59:43

We're back in the States where lying and explosions are rampant! In true NBC fashion they want the viewer to know that this episode is in no way based on any real person, entity, or event. Which is fine by us, because our guesses are based on nothing more than anxiety dreams of college psychology and musical theatre lyrics! But maybe, just maybe, w…

1
Only Murders in the Building - ”True Crime” 15:01

12M ago15:01

15:01

They're national treasures in a season-long mystery. We, like moths to a flame, are mesmerized by it -- but could never do it on the podcast because the season-long story would ruin our format... Until now! We finally get to watch the show thanks to these bite-sized episodes that are still full of laughs and guesses! Listen along as we guess about …

1
Shakespeare & Hathaway - ”Ill Met by Moonlight” 54:37

1y ago54:37

54:37

In which Jessica recounts all of the horrible productions of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and reaffirms her vow that it need never be staged again. We tell two young actors they should stay away from the stage (for reasons unrelated to their skill) and Jacob laments the necessity of a "Will they, won't they" dynamic. And somewhere in there we guess …

1
Shakespeare & Hathaway - ”The Rascal Cook” 59:37

1y ago59:37

59:37

Are you ready for a clanging good time? Jessica applies to be on the Podcast Adjudication Board, we discover a savory (and sweet!) English breakfast pastry that will soon be adopted by Hot Pockets, and we get one of the world's best chase scenes ever! Plus rat poison, sexual harassment, and Sebastian in a chef's toque! We watched Shakespeare & Hath…

1
Shakespeare & Hathaway - ”The Chameleon’s Dish” 59:58

1y ago59:58

59:58

We guarantee you've never truly seen "Hamlet" until you've seen Jacob perform Laertes in pink sweatpants. Unfortunately for you, this means you will never see Hamlet as pictures of this stunning endeavor no longer exist. Happily for us, we got to see what Frank's inner child needs to grow into an adult, Sebastian improvise a goth peanut allergy, an…

1
Shakespeare & Hathaway - The Fairest Show Means Most Deceit 58:57

1y ago58:57

58:57

Welcome to our latest episode where we’ll greet you with a nod, hug, handshake, bow, or fist bump of your choice. And hugging, because we’re Americans and we can’t stop the hugging! We also debate whether British pants have pockets and offer a PSA on when it’s a good idea to shove bloody money down your pants. Spoiler: It’s never. You should never …

1
Shakespeare & Hathaway - ”Exit, Pursued by a Bear” 55:21

1y ago55:21

55:21

Wherein we recount the tale of how we were kind of actually pursued by a bear! We also rhapsodize about such things as sunny moors, praise the cozy, and discuss our favorite scenes from the past year. What’s your favorite scene from a TV show or movie over the past year? Tells us on social media and we’ll share it on the pod! We watched Shakespear …

1
Shakespeare & Hathaway - ”Toil and Trouble” 57:00

1y ago57:00

57:00

Trigger warning for theatre nerds! We say “Macbeth” a LOT this episode. Trigger warning for anglophiles! Jacob makes a prat of himself and gets the word “tickety-boo” completely wrong! Trigger warning for pavement-ophiles! We make fun of cobblestones in this episode! We do a lot of wrong things in here. But do we get the guesses right? We watched S…

1
Shakespeare & Hathaway - ”This Rough Magic” 59:32

1y ago59:32

59:32

The actor who plays Jaskier (Joey Batey) in The Witcher guest stars in this episode of Shakespeare & Hathaway, so we brainstorm ways to get more monsters (not just fairies) into Shakespeare's plays. Jacob disrespects the "To Be or Not To Be" soliloquy, Jessica conjures up the most baroque guess we've ever had (seriously, it involves harpists out fo…

1
Vera - ”Broken Promise” 59:47

1+ y ago59:47

59:47

What makes Vera so compelling? Is it her motherly advice to get babies drunk to make them stop crying? Is it the unflappable manner in which she only ever asks her suspects one question? Is it the joy she takes in unraveling some truly baroque murder mysteries? That's a lot of questions to answer in an hour -- especially when we try to slow down ho…

1
My Life Is Murder - ”Look Don’t Touch” 1:05:32

1+ y ago1:05:32

1:05:32

We compare Lucy Lawless to Shania Twain, Sigourney Weaver, and Gal Gadot then wax philosophical about the role Ben Affleck's stubble plays in the DC Universe. We also guess on My Life Is Murder, a New Zealand cozy mystery while Jacob tries to make rival costumers a thing and we read some truly horrifying descriptions of the main character's coat. C…

Cluedunnit Interviews the Mystery Maniacs Podcast 42:41

1+ y ago42:41

42:41

For our season finale, we interview Mark and Sarah from The Mystery Maniacs podcast! They introduce us to the fine art of corpse acting, dispel a Sister Boniface conspiracy theory, and share why they think Murdoch Mysteries is such an iconic show. You can find Mystery Maniacs Podcast on all your podcatcher platforms, on the web at https://midsomerm…

Murdoch Mysteries - ”The Annoying Red Planet” 1:16:25

1+ y ago1:16:25

1:16:25

It’s an all-star season finale! We watch an episode featuring the winner of our TV Detective championship, the artful detective William Murdoch himself, and chat with two TV murder experts, Mark and Sarah from the Mystery Maniacs podcast! Does Murdoch invent the banana hammock? Or the male gaze? Can Mark and Sarah explain to us what the deal with f…

Sister Boniface Mysteries - “Crimes and Miss Demeanours” 57:13

1+ y ago57:13

57:13

You thought you had a side hustle? In addition to making wine and waking up early for prayers, Sister Boniface runs a full 1960s crime lab — in a town called GREAT SLAUGHTER. So yeah, she’s busy. This episode brings a deadly beauty pageant to her abbey, and we bring the wild guesses! We watched Sister Boniface Mysteries season 1 episode 10, "Crimes…

Picture Perfect Mysteries - ”Dead Over Diamonds” 1:04:18

1+ y ago1:04:18

1:04:18

The Hallmark Channel loves Christmas so much, they put Santa Claus to work in their murder mystery shows! Santa has an attack of angina during a jewel heist and only Ponch from CHiPs can solve the mystery! There’s a lot that’s wrong about that sentence, but can we guess whodunit correctly? We watched Picture Perfect Mysteries, Episode 2, “Dead Over…

1
Poker Face - ”Exit Stage Death” 1:06:01

1+ y ago1:06:01

1:06:01

We fell hard for Poker Face. HARD. So many people we love are involved in it; the stories are messy and fun and human; the production values are off the charts — AND THEY TELL YOU WHODUNIT IMMEDIATELY! We can always win when we watch! Wait — the Podcast Adjudication board is telling me we still have to guess? Listen to find out how we do it and whe…

Cluedunnit Interviews Nic Sampson 18:43

1+ y ago18:43

18:43

Nic Sampson played Detective Constable Sam Breen on The Brokenwood Mysteries for many years — and he also wrote the episode we guessed on! In this interview we ask him how he made the shift from acting to writing, New Zealand to London, and from Power Rangers to improv. He also shares how he came up with the idea for an exploding port-a-potty in on…

1
Brokenwood Mysteries - Dog Day Morning 1:07:09

1+ y ago1:07:09

1:07:09

At one time or another we’ve all asked “Who let the dogs out?” But also: How long will they stay out? Can they be put back in? And most importantly: Why did they think a plant was the best weapon to use while robbing a bank? It’s a light-hearted robbery gone sideways this week as we guess for The Brokenwood Mysteries and talk to series regular (and…

1
Vienna Blood - The Melancholy Countess 1:06:48

1+ y ago1:06:48

1:06:48

This episode starts with a dead body in a bathtub full of coffee — so you know we loved it! Join us as we visit turn-of-the-(last)-century Vienna and answer the burning questions: Did Freud do cocaine? Is Jessica’s accent German or just Californian? Which of the extras best represent Jacob’s distant relatives? Join us in a swanky cafe as we guess V…

Cluedunnit Interviews Tracy Friedman 32:43

1+ y ago32:43

32:43

Tracy Friedman is a writer, director, dancer, choreographer -- and a freelancer for Murder, She Wrote! She penned the episode we guessed on, "The Witch's Curse." We talked to her about snagging the job, convincing Randy Newman to let her make a jukebox musical of his hits, surviving a writers' strike while trying to break in, and more! Check it out…

1
Murder, She Wrote - ”The Witch’s Curse” 1:13:01

1+ y ago1:13:01

1:13:01

Put on your best Maine accent (or your best Received Pronunciation) and return with us to Cabot Cove! We pay homage to a titan of stage and screen, Angela Lansbury, with another Murder, She Wrote classic. MSW always had amazing guest stars, and this episode is no different! Which one of these tidbits is a lie: One guest star has more than 280 IMDB …

The Law According to Lidia Poet - Season One, Episode Two 1:07:24

1+ y ago1:07:24

1:07:24

Sometimes the algorithm gets it right! Netflix showed us a preview for this show and we just had to watch it! This historical dramatization of Italy’s first female lawyer is set in 1883 but it out-Americans modern-day crime shows! Sex, murder, a chase — all in the first minute? Way to go Lidia! The computer got it right — does that mean we have a c…

Sara Saedi Interview 22:09

In this sidebar episode of Cluedunnit we sit down with writer Sara Saedi. She was in the writers room for iZombie, is currently working on Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, and has a bunch of other interesting credits and stories she shares with us, including the weirdest thing she ever had to look up for a mystery and how the pandemic inspired he…

iZombie - Insane in the Germ Brain 57:19

2y ago57:19

57:19

BIG NEWS! We’ve always wanted to learn more about the creators behind the shows we watch — and this week we start asking them! We interviewed iZombie writer Sara Saedi about how she started writing and how the team approached writing cases and love stories in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. We have a little teaser for that interview in this epis…

Murder in Provence 1:03:19

2y ago1:03:19

1:03:19

Trigger warning for midwesterners: In this episode we complain about being cold in California winters. And since it is the middle of winter, it’s time for our annual idyll in southern France! This year we visit sunny Aix-en-Provence — or is it in the middle of Oxfordshire, England? This show has a lot of English folks playing very, very French folk…

Magnum PI (2018) ”Mondays Are for Murder” 1:09:37

2y ago1:09:37

1:09:37

We get some thrilling Hawaiian action this week with the reboot of “Magnum PI”! Magnum … becomes an efficiency expert? In an office? Can he make awkward birthday celebrations, TPS reports, and sneaking a smoke in the stairwell … exciting? Can you film a chase scene in a parking garage? Can we get a win in our fall season finale? And what does the g…

Agatha Raisin ”The Curious Curate” 1:01:01

2y ago1:01:01

1:01:01

Raisins are sweet. Agatha Christie is one of the best mystery writers of all time. Would a mash-up of the two equal a sweet mystery show? Jessica confesses which acting teacher scared her to death and Jacob breaks out some non-traditional acting exercises as we try to get in the win column! We watched Agatha Raisin, series 2 episode 3, “The Curious…
