Raisins are sweet. Agatha Christie is one of the best mystery writers of all time. Would a mash-up of the two equal a sweet mystery show? Jessica confesses which acting teacher scared her to death and Jacob breaks out some non-traditional acting exercises as we try to get in the win column! We watched Agatha Raisin, series 2 episode 3, “The Curious Curate,” on Hoopla. (A streaming service for libraries!)

What do you put on your fries? Ketchup, vinegar, mayonnaise, or butter? Which you choose will tell us a lot about who you are and how handy you might be in guessing for our latest show! We head to Bath, England to see which member of a deeply, deeply dysfunctional plastic surgery team killed a social media influencer — and is that better or worse than scratching up a first-printing Teddy Prendergrass LP?

Is it sparkly because it’s new? Or is it sparkly because of all the rain in the Pacific Northwest? Or is sparkly because it’s just a damn good show? Maybe all of the above? Luckily, we’ve got a new private detective to help us figure it all out! Jessica does a deep dive on stools, Jacob gives TV critics the what for, and we both make a case for this being a comedy, not a drama. We watched So Help Me Todd, episode two, “Co-pilot,” on CBS.

We go back to the ’80s this week for a tropical holiday with what may be the most famous mustache in all of TV: Tom Selleck as “Magnum, P.I.” I don’t know why showing so much body hair was a good idea, but Tom Selleck makes it work! And like we always say, “Watching TV is always better with friends.” So this week we are joined by our good friends, playwright Wayne Rawley and actress Alyssa Bostwick as we break down why Fig Newtons, VCR tapes, and Agatha Christie marathons make for one weird epis...

This week we go back in time and watch Shakespeare solve the murder of who killed Kit Marlowe! Wait, no, I’ve got that all backwards — “Shakespeare and Hathaway” is a modern-day comedy mystery of an unlikely crime-solving duo that keeps Stratford-upon-Avon safe from criminals. I like my idea better. I want see Shakespeare solving crimes while tooling around Stratford in a Ferrari horse cart and delivering his inner PI monologue in iambic pentameter.
