Tonight on Murder, She Wrote…This week we discuss an episode of Murder, She Wrote, which is such a great show! It is available to stream on Peacock and probably playing somewhere on some network right now. This show ran for 12 seasons and had 4 made for tv movies. It was on in the 80s, the 90s, and in 2000. If you haven’t ever watched an episode, I highly recommend checking it out.

This week I am covering the new film Carry-On that is available on Netflix. It stars Taron Egerton, Sofia Carson, Jason Bateman and more. If you haven’t seen the trailer or heard about the film, it is about an airline TSA agent who is blackmailed by a mysterious passenger who threatens to smuggle a package onto a flight on Christmas Eve. It is filled with action, I enjoyed it, but it was weird to see Jason Bateman as the bad guy, although he tends to play a douchey nice guy, ha. Enjoy the episode, check out the film on Netflix, stay tuned for more episodes and go back and listen to the previous episodes from past seasons.
