Mostly Murder (But Sometimes Not)

Out of the mystery jar for our second episode is a personal favorite investigative gang of all of ours—the Scoobies! We love Buffy The Vampire Slayer and were jazzed to talk demons and dating so soon into this endeavor. Buffy and her friends try to figure out who threatens the students at Sunnydale High in episode eighteen of season three, “Earshot”. Originally airing out of sequence on September 21, 1999, it was a Very Special Episode for a number or reasons. In fact, Den of Geek says that “‘Earshot’ is “as close to Agatha Christie as Buffy ever gets”! We talk '90s fashion, worksheets, cross-eyed nipples, and more! This episode marks the first appearance of spending “Joke Bucks” for making terrible jokes, as well as actual art from Maddy herself. Check out our Instagram for that as well as some great Halloween shenanigans! Be warned—there are series spoilers for Buffy as a whole, so don’t be mad if you’re not caught up on a show that ended in 2003. Put on your yummy sushi pajamas and get cozy! Originally recorded May 2017.

Bonjour listeners! Welcome to Mostly Murder (But Sometimes Not), a podcast where four siblings discuss mysteries and whodunits throughout a vast array of pop culture. Recorded originally in May 2017, the inaugural episode of what is sure to be an illustrious podcast starts with us discussing one of the most famous detectives in the Western canon—Hercule Poirot! Although more recently made famous in adaptations starring John Malkovitch and Kenneth Branaugh, we felt it only right to stick with the man who played the Belgian detective for 24 years, 13 seasons, 70 episodes, and sporting countless mustaches: the brilliant David Suchet. Choosing an episode of Agatha Christie’s Poirot was difficult but we start the whodunit discussions with season nine, episode four, “The Hollow”, which aired in the UK September 26, 2004. Join us while we talk of weird lip liner, Danny DeVito, fake diseases, and of course, little grey cells. Bon!

A quick hello and introduction to our podcast, premiering soon!
