    Mr Monk and the Earthquake

    Send us Fan Mail Hey friends — first, we owe you an apology. This episode is coming to you a little later than usual. We’ve both been under the weather. Fair warning: the next two episodes will likely also be running behind. Bear with us while we get back on our feet. This week we’re covering Season 1, Episode 10 — Mr. Monk and the Earthquake. It’s a good one. A socialite uses a 6.0 earthquake as cover to murder her wealthy husband, while Monk spends much of the episode speaking full gobbledegook due to psychogenic aphasia. It's a doozy!

    Mr Monk Goes on Vacation

    Send us Fan Mail Monk takes a vacation — and by that we mean he wears a beige suit on the beach for about ten minutes before getting pulled into a murder only Benji witnessed. This week we’re unpacking one of Season One’s most charming episodes, where the real detective work is split between a kid with a telescope and a hotel security guard with a toothpick habit. We dig into invisible labor, insider trading, and the cleanest crime scene in television history. Sharona looks pretty cute in her tennis outfit too.

    Mr. Monk and the Marathon Man

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode we’re talking marathons, mind chemistry, and why running might’ve been Monk’s secret weapon all along. There’s a “perfect” alibi, a very suspicious cup of tea, and one absolutely unhinged beach sprint. It’s brains, bodies, and one beautifully askew crime.

    Mr Monk and the Other Woman

    Send us Fan Mail A dead lawyer, a very suspicious neighbor, and — hold on — is Monk on a date right now? Yes. Yes he is. This week things get complicated when the woman next door turns out to be someone Monk can’t stop staring at, and absolutely everyone has feelings about it. We get into it.

    Mr. Monk and The Billionaire Mugger

    Send us Fan Mail A tech billionaire is shot dead trying to rob someone at knifepoint — and it only gets weirder from there. We dig into the science of midlife crises, Sharona finally solves a case herself, and Monk buys three lamps. Three identical lamps.

    Mr. Monk Goes to the Asylum

    Send us Fan Mail This week we’re inside the walls of the Medford Psychiatric Institute, where Monk gets a 48-hour observation hold. The thing is — he might be the sanest person there. We talk about what it actually feels like to strip away the outside noise and just focus on getting better, the paralysis of perfectionism, and why a Santa-obsessed patient named Manny might be the most reliable witness in the building.

    Mr. Monk Goes to the Carnival

    Send us Fan Mail This week we’re breaking down Mr. Monk Goes to the Carnival: a ferris wheel murder, a scheme cooked up from inside a jail cell, and Adrian Monk riding the carousel with his arms crossed on the one horse that doesn’t move. We also talk about sensory overload, panic attacks in the happiest place on earth, and what it means to hope for something you probably shouldn’t hope for.

We break down the mystery, talk fat suits, and unpack why Dale Beiderbecke might be the darkest mirror the show holds up to Monk himself.

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we recap Mr. Monk and the Psychic, where Monk goes head-to-head with a supposed psychic who claims to have found a missing/murdered woman. As Monk and Sharona follow the evidence, they are forced to use both intution and cold hard facts to find the truth. But they find it... Of course they do.

    Mr. Monk and the Candidate

    Send us Fan Mail In our very first episode, we recap Mr. Monk and the Candidate, the 2002 pilot that introduced us to Adrian Monk, Sharona, and the whole crew. We break down Monk's first case as a consultant, the early tone of the show, and how grief, anxiety, and genius collide right out of the gate. It's funny, uncomfortable, and very, very Monk.
