I'm posting this episode a little early this evening, because I don't know about you but I need to take my mind off the world for a while.
This week we dipped our toes into some of the work of international treasure Angela Lansbury, with classic thriller The Manchurian Candidate (1962) and forgotten Christie adaptation Mirror Crack'd (1980). Join us as we go off on a tangent about comic book legend Jack Kirby; accuse Harry Potter of murder; posit hypothetical Brooklyn 99 crossovers; discuss the generic conventions of the mystery vs. the thriller; and learn what Saoirse remembers from her mandatory Cataloguing class.
Menu:
- Heinz ketchup
- Tofu in Manchurian sauce
- Daiquiris, hopefully without arsenic
- Tea and little sandwiches
- Meat pies and/or pasties
Interstitial music:
- David Bowie, Drive-In Saturday
- The Sisters of Mercy, Dominion/Mother Russia
- Loreena McKennitt, the Lady of Shallott
- Tom Robinson, Murder at the End of the Day
