  • E42 Sherlock Says: The Furry Justification Hour

    It's a Christmas present from the Furry Godfathers! This week, Ansel and Rachael are celebrating the season with The Great Mouse Detective! Lots here to discuss as well: twink mice,  gay rats, burlesque in a childrens' film, and an overall confusion about what animals deserve sentience. Play along at home to see  how many times they mix up the main characters' names, because the editor sure won't be doing it for you!

    We would also like to apologize for shots fired at Taylor Swift fans, your God-Empress is powerful and we fear her vengeance.

  • E 41 Sherlock Says: Load-Bearing Asspulls

    Welcome back to Sherlock Says! This week, Rachael and Ansel are joined by friend/roommate of the pod Shane to discuss The Resident Patient, a Holmes story that is consistently included in best-of compilations for reasons your hosts cannot comprehend. Find enclosed: medicinal whippets, homoerotic hand observations, and discussions about the number of bitches celebrated author C. S. Lewis may or may not have gotten.

  • E40 Herlock Says - I'm Suing Leblanc for Slander

    Buckle up, Phantom Thief enthusiasts! This week on Herlock Says, your hosts Ansel and Rachael team up Oceans-11, heist-crew style to talk about the granddaddy of the entire gentleman thief genre, Arsène Lupin! There's something for everyone: Rachael gets to show off her French accent, Ansel gets to talk about the Ouroboros of Guys, and your humble editor gets to make Persona 5 jokes!

  • E39 Sherlock Says: Where's My Candellabra

    In this week's Sherlock Says, Ansel and Rachael are joined by Sonja to discuss The Gloria Scott, or, Holmes' longform answer to Watson asking "have you ever dated anyone before me." And, because this is the podcast that it is, your hosts take a break in the middle to review a series about lesbian necromancers in space and talk about Anne Rice to the point that the Spongebob meme had to be deployed.

    Listen to Sonja's podcast!

    Editor's Note: This one was recorded away from the usual space and only on one mic so there's background noise, audio levels, and assorted sound stuff that I can't do anything about, sorry!

  • E38 Sherlock Says: I Went as an Anarchist for Halloween

    Disclaimer: This episode was released well before the allegations against Neil Gaiman became public knowledge. We're leaving the episode up because we don't like revisionism on principle, but just know that we do not endorse or support Gaiman and our hearts go out to the victims of his actions.

    Welcome back to Ghoulock Slays- okay no that's not gonna work, nevermind forget I tried. It's Sherlock Says with Ansel and Rachael!  In this spooooooky Halloween special, your hosts read A Study in Emerald, a Sherlock Holmes short story nested in a Lovcraftian style cosmic horror world, penned by the inimitable master of both horror and hiding in falafels, Neil Gaiman. Thrill in fear as the narrative twists like a worm on a hook! Scream in terror at discussions of how actually uninteresting the works of H.P. Lovecraft are compared to people that carried on that genre! Wet yourself in the corner at the horrifying visage of what role Holmes fills in any given universe! But also keep listening to the podcast while you're in the corner, we need you here.

  • E37 Sherlock Says: The Audacity of this Ritch(ie)

    In this week's Sherlock Says, OH NO RACISM! We're back in the Marvel Milieu Mines to dig out another helping of the Guy Ritchie film series Sherlock Holmes - this time, the 2011 film, A Game of Shadows. And........ uh oh, guys. 

    Discussions abound about the relative lumpiness of beloved actor and Chernobyl star Jared Harris, Guy Ritchie's persistent and weird and utterly incorrect belief that he knows what the Roma are all about, and why exactly the hosts of this podcast found this film in a $3 bargain bin coincidentally just as they were preparing to record. It's like some twisted form of kismet!

    We're also leveling our cannons at the (checks notes) RWBY fandom, apparently!

  • E36 Sherlock Says: Our Boy Jeremy (Part 2)

    Another dollop of Brett awaits our hosts Ansel and Rachael as they finish up discussing season 1 of the Granada TV adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. Find within; professional Best Girl Violet Hunter, adaptational misogyny from an extremely divorced writer, and a lovely series of picnics that are only slightly marred by the bit at the end where Sherlock Holmes Fucking Dies.

  • E35 Sherlock Says: Our Boy Jeremy (Part 1)

    In today's episode of Sherlock Says, Ansel and Rachael finally get to have fun and watch the first season of the Granada Television adaptation of Sherlock Holmes, starring the man, the myth, the (allegedly) bisexual disaster himself, Jeremy Brett.

  • E34 Sherlock Says Book Club: How Sherlock Pulled the Trick (Part 3)

    Rachael and Ansel are back in the Idea Mines for another episode of Sherlock Says Book Club. This time, they finish reading Brian McCusky's How Sherlock Pulled the Trick and grapple with society's oldest question: why didn't Sherlock Holmes stop 9/11?

  • E33 Sherlock Says Book Club: How Sherlock Pulled the Trick (Part 2)
    In this episode of the Sherlock Says Book Club, Rachael and Ansel continue to read Brian McCusky's How Sherlock Pulled the Trick and have some notes for the author. Look out for discussions of cult deprogramming strategy, how the popular perception of Holmes is fueled by patriarchy, and (because this is the podcast it is) how this all ties into fandom.

    Wow that sure is a tumblr-ass list of topics, isn't it.

    In this game of analyst vs. analyst, who will win? The hosts that are responding to the book, or the author who isn't present to defend himself? Check it out!
