Enjoy Detecting!

This week, Jay and Shua slip on the deerstalker cap and head down Baker Street for a holiday celebration of Sherlock Holmes. They explore the character's origins, his evolution across literature, comics, radio, and film, and what has made Holmes an enduring cultural force for nearly 140 years.

The discussion highlights major adaptations ranging from Basil Rathbone and Christopher Lee to Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Downey Jr., with detours into comedic versions, animated favorites, and even Max Headroom himself—Matt Frewer—who portrayed the detective in multiple TV movies. They also honor the anniversaries of The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother and Young Sherlock Holmes, celebrating the creativity and influence of these beloved films.
