Not a Bomb

Episode 192 - Clue (with Mike McGranaghan)


Listen Later

Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of the biggest cinema bombs of all time. In this episode, we welcome back to the show Mike McGranaghan, film critic at The Aisle Seat. Put on your detective hats and rush to the crime scene. What was the crime? In this case, an experimental film from 1985, Clue. Based on the popular board game, Clue gathers all our favorite playing pieces into a mansion and, of course, a murder occurs. The filmmakers pulled a “William Castle” on the audience and came up with an interesting gimmick, three different endings to a movie (and each ending was shown in a different location). Join us as we try to figure out who did it, with what, and in what room. Oh…and we do spend a little time discussing some of the greatest film gimmicks in cinematic history.
Clue is directed by Jonathan Lynn and stars Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, and Lesley Ann Warren.
