Hello, cinema sickos!

Mary and Dave ring in the new year by not continuing their McQuarrying series but instead discussing Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet – the story of Agnes Hathaway’s courtship and marriage to William Shakespeare, and the movie all the old folks are flocking to theatres to see!

Even if you don’t know what Metamucil is for, should you still go and see the film? Let Mary and Dave fansplain it for you!

Thanks for listening.

Have you driven a Ford (into jumping off the Cheoah Dam) lately? Tommy Lee Jones has and that means it’s time for some memories of 1993’s The Fugitive.

Your hosts Jason Dedrick, Eric Fell and Vicky Van give you their recollections of this classic TV remake.

Along the way they enjoy some devilled eggs and a drink called the Harrison Ford made of Baileys, vodka and coffee liqueur. Did we mention we record this show in the morning? At least they had eggs.

They also create the tribute drink called a Provasic. Want to make it? Here’s the recipe…

The producer’s wife said, “It’s nice. The kind of drink you’d want while watch a St. Patrick’s Day parade in Chicago.”

If you make a Provasic or, better yet, make up a drink of your own, please send a picture to [email protected] by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you. Also let us know what you think of the show and if you have any suggestions for future films.

Depratment of Corrections:
Ian got some bad intel from Dave regarding the Chinese New Year, which begins on February 17 if you’re interested. 2025 was the Year of the Snake and 2026 will be the Year of the Horse, which was Dave’s birth year so you’d think he’d know better!

Thanks for listening.

Technology baffles:

To the manure born:

Our McQuarrying series will not be appearing this week because Dave and Mary went to see the new Safdie Brother film Marty Supreme – the usual Safdie chaos with a twist of Timothée Chalamet playing a young man who gets into a lot of trouble with his balls!

Not sure what to think of Marty Supreme? Let Mary and Dave fansplain it for you!

Thanks for listening.

Hello, horse fans and hello, mystery fans, and hello, horse mystery fans! Welcome to Season Six of your favourite horse-based true crime podcast!

We have a treat for all you lovers of horse mysteries as Lezah and Dave have an enjoyable conversation with Virginia Slachman, a college professor, horse lover, and a creator of horse mysteries. Yes, Virginia has written four mystery novels centred around the world of horse racing: three in the Harper Hill series – Blood in the Bluegrass, Beast in the Bluegrass, and Betrayed in the Bluegrass – with a fourth on the way, and a stand alone book The Lost Ode.

You can find Virginia’s books here. You can also visit her website here.

We had a fun conversation with Virginia about mystery writing, her journey to becoming a mystery writer, the world of horse racing and the love, care and protection of our horse friends. So thanks to Virginia for coming on the show!

We hope you enjoyed this season of Horse Mysteries. Thanks to everyone who contributed comments and emailed the show.

And a big thanks to our musical maestro Chris Roberts for his fabulous theme music!

Thanks for listening.

Depratment of Corrections:
Dave – who clearly does not suffer from pica – misremembered the name of this eating disorder as mica, which are silica minerals…and the name of a girl Dave went to school with in junior high. Additionally, the psalm David was describing as Psalm 33 with so much unfounded confidence was actually Psalm 23 – the infidel!

Thanks for listening.

Hello, film fanatics!

Can this iteration of the Knives Out franchise possibly be as good as the first two instalments or will trilogy derangement syndrome take another victim? Let Mary and David fansplain it for you!
