New special episode out now! We watched the entire first season of the new show Only Murders in the Building, a mystery-comedy starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. So spoiler warning! We discuss the incredible chemistry between the three leads, admire how the show deconstructs and examines the true crime podcast craze, and follow a lot of threads that lead to red herrings. We praise the performances of the whole cast, with some surprising guests making particularly uncharacteristic and excellent turns. We also have some questions about the podcast production portrayed in the show, wonder if law enforcement is fed up with true crime armchair sleuths, love the production design and authentic New York City feel, and rave about a high concept episode that really opened the story up. Katy casually perused condos on the Upper West Side, Carrie has never seen Happy Days, Maddy relives one of the worst things that ever happened to her, and Mack thinks grave robbing isn't always terrible. We also love a secret door, wish there were more musicals with pools, wonder if the Fonz was ever accused of murder, discuss current (and previous) plans for our bodies after death, and one of us recreates a drink from the show! Give it a listen!
