In this episode, the two Matts gush about tapestries and cat-shaped doorstoppers, wonder why certain co-hosts like Power Rangers more than others, spend way too long on an elaborate ruse that'll fool nobody, and talk about what it takes to write a good mystery. How rigid should your plot structure be in comparison to other genres? How many red herrings are too many? How elaborate can your mystery be without getting too complicated? How many references to Clue or Guess Who can we make in one episode? We discuss it all, with magnifying glasses zeroed in on all details, and talk about Sherlock Holmes, Encyclopedia Brown, the Time Machine, and Big Hero 6 for some reason.
