  • Two Corpses, Everything's Fine | 76

    On this episode of Smirk, grab a notepad and settle in...for murder! We're trying something a little differing this time, as our story reveals itself as a full-fledged murder-mystery. Only after we discuss and dissect our love for the genre will we reveal the killer. Can you guess it before the murderer's identity is unmasked?
