Published: Aug. 18, 2021, 11 a.m.

New episode out now and it\u2019s our 50th!!! To celebrate we cover one of our favorite characters and total badass, Miss Marple. We watched the series 3 episode of Agatha Christie\u2019s Marple \u201cAt Bertram\u2019s Hotel\u201d and discussed the many, many threads and red herrings present in this classic Christie mystery. We marvel at Miss Marple\u2019s attention to detail, try to decide if we enjoy the false leads if they all make sense at the end, play Guess-Where-We-Know-That-British-Actor-From, and celebrate the presence of lesbians. Katy used an actual printer, Carrie gets mad about books, Maddy does a flawless English accent, and Mack tries to be funny in German. We also discuss British vs. American sensibilities in both hotels and acting styles, the specific aftermath of polio, the effect wartime had on romance, and the concept of historical fetishism. If you want to hear us share weird middle school stories, compare Room Time to the Real Housewives franchise, or rave about old ladies saying \u201cBalls!\u201d then this is the episode for you! Give it a listen!

\u201cMiss Marple is just the coolest person ever and I love her.\u201d -Maddy
