Sherlock Says

Get out your child size 14 tennis shoes and your laser pointers, because it's time for Sherlock Says! Rounding off the coverage of BBC's Sherlock season 1, your intrepid hosts Ansel and Rachael breath a sigh of relief..... for now. This episode covers The Great Game, probably the best episode of Sherlock? Jury's still out.

Join us for lots of random poisoning, horrifying bombings, Vermeer exposition, and an unforgettable poolside rendezvous. Literally unforgettable. We've tried, it's lodged in there forever.

The circus is back in town this week on Sherlock Says as Rachael and Ansel watch episode 2 of BBC's Sherlock: The Blind Banker, also known as the worst episode of this show for quite a while. I hope your bullshitometers are tuned and your racism gauges are properly calibrated because this one's "about" Chinese people. I'm so sorry.

This week, on a very special 50th EPISODE SUPER SPECTACULAR, your hosts Ansel and Rachael return at last to where it began: the BBC's Sherlock. Covering episode 1, A Study in Pink, your humble presenters will begin to grapple with their demons and the various fandom skeletons in their closets.

Editor's Note: Sorry this one came up late, I just completely forgot to upload and schedule it after it was approved! My bad!

DISCLAIMER: In this episode, Rachael confuses Petrarch and Plutarch, causing great offense to the man who invented the Sonnet, and she is mortified.

Welcome back, super sleuths, it's another Sherlock Says! This time, Rachael and Ansel are joined by local thespian  Kyle B. Dekker to discuss The Boscombe Valley Mystery, most famously known as "the story where that illustration of Holmes in the deerstalker comes from."

Other topics of conversation include Victorian Diabetes, brainstorming fics (again), and, as ever,  a return to Afghanistan.

Also wow there's sure a lot of talk about dog death in this episode about a story containing zero dead dogs.

You've got a fever (needing to kill time) and we've got the prescription: One dose of Sherlock Says with Ansel and Rachael every 2 weeks. Taken for joint pain, muscle spasms, boredom, anxiety, and having to watch more House MD. Side effects may include rude doctors, exploding penises, hallucinations, exposure to transphobia, and events surrounding children that use some demonetization words. Take on an empty stomach because like I said, exploding penises.

Get your canes and Vicodin ready, kids! This week, Ansel and Rachael are reviewing House MD, a medical mystery television series from the mid-2000's that occasionally takes breaks from doing hate crimes and causing malpractice lawsuits to vaguely gesture in the direction of Sherlock Holmes. 

Join everyone's second favorite grumpy doctor (because nobody beats Cox (wait that came out wrong)) for an adventure in pill-popping, wise-cracking, and a frankly startling amount of racism even for 20 years ago.

This week, Rachael and Ansel are joined by friend of the pod Marty to discuss the Sherlock Holmes module for the tabletop game Unlock! And, because they know their poor editor had so much work on the last two episodes, they made this one very short and fast to edit. I'm sure that's why, and for no other reasons.

Your daring hosts Ansel and Rachael are hitting the books again to answer the question of what could possibly link such disparate things as:
- The Zodiac Killer (no not that one)
- Charles Lindbergh (yes, that one)
- The Kensington Runestone (Minnesotans know what we're talking about)

Well, aside from this podcast, the answer is The Scientific Sherlock Holmes by James O'Brien, a book purporting to analyze the canon for accuracy to the scientific method. Does it succeed? Well.... it's complicated. There's a reason this episode is two hours.

And yes, ACAB includes cop dogs.

Look I'm not gonna sugarcoat this one, it's a very bad and poorly made show that slides off your mind like water. Your experts in residence Ansel and Rachael are about to go out of their way for 2 hours to tell you about Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, winner of the Laziest Title Award, the ACAB Crown, and the Unintentional Dystopia Ribbon for Unexcellence in Worldbuilding.

but at what cost

Welcome back! In this episode of Sherlock Says, your intrepid hosts Rachael and Ansel are joined by Eric Cohen of the Phoenix Theater in Minneapolis! They're reading The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet, Doyle's answer to the question "can one build a short piece of mystery fiction entirely out of asspulls?" Also they managed to rope poor Hugh Jackman into this.

If you know what this fucking crown is made of please write in, we're so confused.
