Does adding a professional counsellor help the show, or does it just lead Talon and Randy to more perversity as Paul tries to keep a modicum of dignity to the proceedings? And it's October, so a Watson-abusing ghost is as seasonal as pumpkin spice scones! Join the our documentary-analyzing team of supposed experts for an hour or so of supposedly analyzing evidence that this supposed Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson were real and . . . supposed!

With our resident Victorian film expert out of action this episode, amateur podcaster Talon King and Sherlock Holmes superfan Randy Davis attempt to analyze "The Case of the Texas Cowgirl" on their own. The results, missing the input of the more intelligent member of the team, are probably at the level this footage deserved.

Talon King, Victorian film expert Paul Thomas Miller, Sherlock Holmes superfan Randy Davis, and special guest Professor Amity Cannon, expert in secret societies, all join forces to break down the documentary footage that Watson based his novel "The Valley of Fear" upon, which was released to the You Tubes as "The Case of the Pennsylvania Gun."

In our second review of Watson's documentary footage, Holmes and Wilkins spend a day in a questionable laboratory, Watson and Lestrade find a common bond, and Watson gives Lady Beryl her close-up. As we saw last time, John H. Watson left a lot out when he got around to writing about Sherlock Holmes instead of filming him. "The Case of Lady Beryl" reviewed as only a podcast called "Sherlock Holmes is Real" would do it.

In season five's bold new adventure for "Sherlock Holmes is Real," new host Talon King welcomes Paul Thomas Miller for a thorough analysis of found documentary footage filmed by Dr. Watson himself, hidden on the internet under the guise of a 1954 TV show that no one really remembers being on TV. In this first episode, they cover Watson's first day with Holmes and "The Case of the Cunningham Heritage."

With the former hosts of the show lost to investigations and quarantine, Talon King pitches the new "Sherlock Holmes is Real."

Because THIS time, Sherlock Holmes is really real.

The pandemic has kept the usual hosts out of the studio, and their replacement tries hard to fill the void with a new Mary Morstan revelation . . . and a song.

It was a time of much worry and woe. It was a time of care and concern. And yet one Sherlockian's brother finds podcast equipment and ignores all of that, recording some of the worst Sherlockian content you will hear all year.

With half the hosts in a place we're not sure of, a mini-sode that we're not sure of somehow finds its way to the feed. Happy Moorville-ween!

A familiar voice returns from a trip with a rather mundane tale to tell of a place called Moorville, Kansas. But that same voice has already told us a very different story.
