    Glass Onion (2022) - Danny Cherry, Jr.

    In this episode, Danny Cherry, Jr., author of THE PIKE BOYS and owner of Big Easy Press, joins me to discuss Rian Johnson's sophomore outing in the KNIVES OUT series, THE GLASS ONION. With a bigger budget and more eyes on his homage to Agatha Christie, Benoit Blanc takes on corruption in out-of-this-world orders of magnitude with a very human price: the lives of innocent people he once considered friends.

    Rear Window (1954) - Keith Roysdon

    The incomparable Keith Roysdon joins host Emily J. Edwards after his episode on ZODIAC to discuss another film classic: Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 thriller, REAR WINDOW. We get into the dog days of summer and discussing the impact of this brilliant film, between Jeff's (played by Jimmy Stewart) reliance on being a man behind the camera, Lisa's (played by Grace Kelly) truly adventurous spirit, and Stella's (played by Thelma Ritter) incredible work as the audience stand-in. New York City was a very different place in 1954, and we get into how the vertical "town" of NYC apartment complexes replace the cozy nature of small towns, the politics of fashion and clothing, and what Robert Moses did to ruin the community of NYC.

    Charade (1963) - Ellen Byron

    In this episode, Ellen Byron (the USA Today bestselling, award-winning author of the Golden Motel Mysteries, the Vintage Cookbook Mysteries, and Cajun Country Mysteries), discusses the classic film 'Charade'. The conversation covers the journey of 'Charade' to the screen, the themes of comedy in mystery, the evolution of humor, and the oddly progressive elements of the movie. As always, we hypothesize about re-making the movie today and are left wondering: who would YOU cast in the roles of Reggie Lampert and Peter Joshua? Does any star working today have the chemistry, the dapperness, and the style of Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn? Find Ellen online and pre-order her new books!

    Murder on the Orient Express (1974 + 2017) - Mindy Carlson

    Mindy Carlson, author of the award-nominated mystery novel HER DYING DAY, joins host Emily J. Edwards to discuss two of the most famous adaptations of Agatha Christie's opus, MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS. The 1974, Sidney Lumet-directed vehicle starring Albert Finney, Sean Connery, Vanessa Redgrave, and Ingrid Bergman was nominated for, and won, countless Oscars. Oscar winner Kenneth Branagh boldly chose to launch his career as Poirot with a remake that was nominated for, uh, slightly less prestigious awards. We get into it in this week's episode!
