New episode out now! We watched the season four episode of Inspector George Gently, \u201cGently Upside Down\u201d. We discuss how this show feels a little different than other period British mystery shows, and how it handles tough subjects in what seems to be a more realistic manner. We talk about the differences between Gently and Bacchus, and how those different strengths and weaknesses allow them to work together successfully as a team while still clashing occasionally. We also cover the timeless quality of English architecture, discuss 1960s attitudes towards class, age, and gender, and wonder if Bacchus is a viewer substitute who jumps on all the red herrings. Katy brings up the Beatles twice, Carrie reminisces about school seating, Maddy thinks everyone should dance, and Mack brings up a disturbing detail from a Transformers movie. We spend some time debating if hiding a murder is prohibitively expensive, wonder if checking run time when someone confesses is cheating, and expound on the collective universal love for the Shrek franchise. We also cover multiple Mr. Rochesters, legal history, Gretna Green, and more! Give it a listen and you\u2019ll also learn who is really behind Batman\u2019s mask!
