Mystery to Me

Moonlighting: "The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice" (1985)


Listen Later

Ding-dong! Now who could that be ringing the door? Could it be a gorgeously-shot episode of the beloved eighties detective series Moonlighting, starring Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis?

This series follows super model Maddie Hayes, who's forced to moonlight as a private detective with David Addison after an accountant steals all her hard-earned money. Sexual tension, snappy dialogue, and creative homages to classic films ensue.

The fourth episode of the show's second season sees Shepherd and Willis trading barbs — and then dream sequences — while theorizing over a long ago murder. And it's got more wit and style than you can shake a clarinet at.

Listen to Áine and Kevin shine some light on this luminous, battle-of-the-sexes-themed ode to film noir.
