Let's play a game called "Would you live there?" We name a place and you tell us whether you'd live there, even with significantly higher chances of being murdered. How about Cabot Cove? Midsomer County? A smelly houseboat on the edge of Chelsea? It's the thought of the smell rather than the murders that makes the houseboat unappealing -- but CHELSEA DETECTIVE is very appealing! This slightly snarky, possibly prickly detective wants to play bad cop, but he's not intimidating anyone in that cardigan. Instead, he's solving cases and we're guessing wildly. Is it finally time we get one right? Join us on the Cluedunnit Patreon (patreon.com/cluedunnitpodcast) and tell us what murder capital you'd settle down in!

If Elvis, Sherlock Holmes, and Will Shortz walked into a mystery -- well, we'd definitely watch that, just like we devoured LUDWIG! We paused viewing only long enough to record this episode and have a simmering feud over what, exactly, the criteria are for a locked-room mystery. Jacob's still not convinced Join us on the Cluedunnit Patreon (patreon.com/cluedunnitpodcast) and brag about how long your Wordle winning streak is or how fast you can do the NY Times Saturday crossword. (Yeah, we said Saturday. IYKYK.) We watched LUDWIG, series 1, episode 5. (There's no title given for the episode! Quick, let's name it for them! Andante con moto! Scherzo allegro!

It's not a noir, but it's on the moor! We stay on our British, female detective stint and head up to Manchester for one of the great villains of all time. This is also halfway to a foodie episode, too. Jacob has some great ideas for restaurants looking to extend teh QR-code menu trend into a haute-cuisine direction and Jessica teaches us all about British flapjacks.

We leave our Kenneth Branagh interlude behind for some sun, sex, and silly gardening hacks you won't believe! Which we're sure is some kind of TikTok trend that we're absolutely going to ignore. Because there's plenty of affairs to keep track of in this episode, what with the old flames and cheating spouses -- and that's before we factor in some ribald literary humor. That's right, our English degrees are good for something! Join us on the Cluedunnit Patreon (patreon.com/cluedunnitpodcast) and tell us your favorite gardening hacks to find the dead bodies!

There's bleak, then there's Nordic Noir bleak ... And then there's Nordic Noir Bleak as personified by Kenneth Branagh -- which is technically darker than winter in Sweden. We checked! I'm not saying Wallender's ring tone is the sunniest piece of this show, but I will say it has fan pages! And after watching some episodes we're fans, too! We talk about that ringtone, shine a light on some amazing doggy acting, and get totally confused trying to remember the plot to UNCLE VANYA.

In this episode we are joined by mystery novelist Eloise Corvo! She regales us with stories about horrors on the hiking trail and explains how the original Scooby-Doo TV show is a lot like Agatha Christie -- and it's not because Ms. Christie liked Scooby snacks. She also dishes about her upcoming book OFF THE BEATEN PATH -- a brand new cozy mystery coming soon to a bookstore near you. Get out your Halloween candy (or your favorite Venetian pastry!) and join us as we guess on A HAUNTING IN VENICE!

The only thing -- the ONLY thing -- you need to know about this episode is that this is the one where Jessica admits to licking a banana slug (not a euphemism) at Girl Scout camp in order to get high! At one point we also thought that a lizard might turn into an extra from Jurassic Park, Jacob confesses why he cleans in the buff, and we're both convinced that backstage on the set of HIGH POTENTIAL is just a mixture of show tunes and boxing -- but really you're only here for the banana slug story.

I'm a fan of oysters. I'm a fan of beer. Would I be a fan of oyster beer? (Stout, to be specific...) Who knows! But I am a fan of this show -- despite Mr. Grumpy-guts roaming around the docks and beaches. Apparently he is part some kind of British archetype dating back to possibly before ... checks notes ...

What do CHINATOWN, THE MUSIC MAN, and FISK have in common? Absolutely nothing! But that doesn't stop Jacob from comparing them to MATLOCK, all in a desperate attempt to delay his guesses. Jessica makes a much better case for this episode to be a lot like THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY -- but loses points for her inability to whistle the theme song. We clean up the water damage and make some guesses in this very visceral episode. Guess what! We're starting our own white-shoe guessing law firm over at patreon.com/cluedunnitpodcast !

We've seen a lot of fake dead bodies -- like, a LOT -- but none of them have been as unsettling as the ones in HARROW! Truly, extra credit to all the artisans and makeup experts on this show. This show removes a stomach from a body and empties it out on camera. If it's true that everything in Australia can kill you, then this show sets out to demonstrate how you'd figure that out.

It's fun to approach HETTY WAINTHROPP INVESTIGATES as the biography of the world's foremost MURDER, SHE WROTE cosplayer. An English pensioner decides she's not going to let Jessica Fletcher have all the fun, and opens her own investigation agency -- after recruiting a criminally young hobbit. OK, the metaphor breaks down, people. But we had a lot of fun debating the difference between a pond and a fountain, whether or not murder accusations follow middle school fart logic, and how old you have to be in order to get really creative with the swears.

How confident is this show? The pilot of this show introduces the main character as she shoots a dog. And not in an "Old Yeller" kinda way! This shows has an exposition dump about salami. This show lights a freezer like it's a portal to the Twilight Zone, has boars eating a human body, and names a pathologist after a medieval fox. My friends, this show has no f*&%$ to give -- except when it comes to closing old cases, and we love it for that. Does that mean we actually get something right?

Well all this plus early access to episodes and MORE can be yours! Join the fun over at https://www.patreon.com/c/CluedunnitPodcast.  We've got a really trashy episode for you this week! The 20-teens version of Sherlock (nope, not that one -- the American one with Lucy Liu) goes looking for a left-handed archaeologist and discovers the sordid underbelly of urban development along with '80s video game urban myths. But first we tackle the really big questions: Is there anything better than an answering machine for delivering exposition? Is pie the official food of private investigators?

After taking it away from Max, Netflix took Dead Boy Detectives to the max! They test the premise in simple ways (turning a crow into a heartsick teen), inventive (using a magic bag to hide from a demon from the depths of Hell) and macabre (I guarantee you have never seen sausage links used like this). And we finally get to do some legit bonkers guessing! But do we get it right? (And where do the Dead Boys get their office supplies?)

It's a guest star extravanza! This show has the same number of guest stars as Maigret creator George Simenon had maids that he slept with. (It's more than you think!) This hard-boiled, early '90s take on a 1950s detective has smoking, stripping, saxophones direct from the '80s -- and famous people doing depraved things for love and drugs. Did the cognitive dissonance keep us from guessing whodunnit? Or can we actually get a win? We Watched Maigret season 2, episode 1, "Maigret and the Night Club Dancer."

This is the end -- or the beginning of Season 2! Jess floats (and gloats) in an amazing victory while Jacob deals with his feelings. We exult in the power of the side eye in a close up, revel in the madness of a punning mass murderer, and clutch our pearls over the possibility of an Evil Ira Glass. Plus, Jacob denies every having worried about getting his nuts crushed in an elevator. We also hand out some Christies, because we finally finished Season One!

It's another how-catch-em! Even after we know the criminal, can we guess how they catch 'em? Is Elsbeth really just Batman with tote bags? Can you make it rain with Post-It Notes?

Is the game "Peek-a-Boo" true crime for the pre-K set? Does a body double know you better than yourself?

There's so much musical theatre talent in this episode we nearly burst into song. We didn't, but we did create radio plays based on TV and theatre's on-again/off-again relationship. Jessica makes an incredible faux pas around murder boards while we launch an investigation into whether a BMW or an old Volkswagen bus make a better bitchin' private investigator car.

We go back to college with Will Trent! Our senior thesis group project is trying to make a detective show built entirely around tea. Which is good because apparently Jacob has only been eating raw egg smoothies while training to get better at guessing.

Our favorite caterer passes the PI test! She has a bitchin' car, so she can solve all the crimes she wants to as far as we're concerned.

We're not afraid to tackle the hard questions on this show. To wit: Would it be worth having a job based around antique bedpans to live in the South of France? Could a song about grandmas really be a number one hit? Would community theatre practitioners resort to a crime spree in order to fund their latest production? And maybe, somehow, with facts like this, could we pull out a win? In case you're curious about that grandma song, here's a link to the video of "Grandma, We Love You," with the future star of Madame Blanc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsXJcIODLtQ And in case you weren't alive the first time this animal video swept over the internet, may I introduce you to the BBC's "Walk on the Wild Side." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaPepCVepCg While you're online, sign up for your very own official Cluedunnit Private Investigator license!

They have a bitchin' car! Ladies and gentlemen, Only Murders in the Building has nailed another trope: Our fearless investigators now have a bitchin' 1973 Peugeot! Apparently it's in rough shape and needs to be brined which, OK, but it's good enough to get them out to Long Island and running on fumes and horrible puns. Mabel also finds the only alleyway in New York City -- but do we find anything that will lead us closer to the killer? We watched Only Murders in the Building, season 1, episode 5, "Twist."

Tell me you were filmed post-COVID lockdown without telling me: There was a bike race, a changing of the guard, a lecture hall, a tai chi class, sunbathers, and a more frisbee throwers than the crowd outside a Phish concert -- all before the title sequence.

Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig may get more screen time, but Sting is truly the star of this episode. Which makes us wonder: What other Steve Martin or Martin Short movies would benefit from having Stings as a co-star? Would he have been a good heart-throb in Roxanne? Sting as the fourth Amigo? Sting as the fiancee in Father of the Bride? But Steve and Martin are also musicians, so what if they took on all of Sting's roles? I for one would love to have seen Martin Short in the 1984 David Lynch production of "Dune." And I think the last Police tour could really have benefited from Steve Martin on banjo.  But did any of this help us narrow down the killer?!?!??

They have three punctuation marks in one title, which is impressive, but I feel like they could have gotten more if they really tried. It's just begging for an exlamation mark at the end and I bet they could have put an umlaut over the "o" in Monk and really screwed with everyone. We debate our own head canon about who characters really are -- but do we correctly guess the killer? Listen and find out! We watched the 2023 Monk special, "Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie."

Meanwhile, Jessica reveals something about herself we all should have seen coming. We watched Only Murders in the Building, season 1, episode 2, "Who Is Tim Kono?"

We're back in the States where lying and explosions are rampant! In true NBC fashion they want the viewer to know that this episode is in no way based on any real person, entity, or event. Which is fine by us, because our guesses are based on nothing more than anxiety dreams of college psychology and musical theatre lyrics! But maybe, just maybe, we can get it right? We watched The Irrational season 1, episode 3, "The Barnum Effect." Hey!

They're national treasures in a season-long mystery. We, like moths to a flame, are mesmerized by it -- but could never do it on the podcast because the season-long story would ruin our format... Until now! We finally get to watch the show thanks to these bite-sized episodes that are still full of laughs and guesses! Listen along as we guess about the murderers, cheese-mongers, and Off-Broadway shows in "Only Murders in the Building." We watched Only Murders in the Building season 1, episode 1, "True Crime." Hey!

In which Jessica recounts all of the horrible productions of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and reaffirms her vow that it need never be staged again. We tell two young actors they should stay away from the stage (for reasons unrelated to their skill) and Jacob laments the necessity of a "Will they, won't they" dynamic. And somewhere in there we guess on the series 1 season finale of Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators! We watched Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators series 1, episode 10, "Ill Met by Moonlight" Hey!

Are you ready for a clanging good time? Jessica applies to be on the Podcast Adjudication Board, we discover a savory (and sweet!) English breakfast pastry that will soon be adopted by Hot Pockets, and we get one of the world's best chase scenes ever! Plus rat poison, sexual harassment, and Sebastian in a chef's toque!

We guarantee you've never truly seen "Hamlet" until you've seen Jacob perform Laertes in pink sweatpants. Unfortunately for you, this means you will never see Hamlet as pictures of this stunning endeavor no longer exist. Happily for us, we got to see what Frank's inner child needs to grow into an adult, Sebastian improvise a goth peanut allergy, and Luella go absolutely mental on mushrooms. But can we guess the murderer? We watched Shakespeare & Hathaway, series 1, episode 8, "The Chameleon's Dish." Hey!

Welcome to our latest episode where we'll greet you with a nod, hug, handshake, bow, or fist bump of your choice. And hugging, because we're Americans and we can't stop the hugging! We also debate whether British pants have pockets and offer a PSA on when it's a good idea to shove bloody money down your pants. Spoiler: It's never. You should never stuff bloody money down your pants. We watched Shakespeare & Hathaway, series 1, episode 7, "The Fairest Show Means Most Deceit"  Hey!

Wherein we recount the tale of how we were kind of actually pursued by a bear! We also rhapsodize about such things as sunny moors, praise the cozy, and discuss our favorite scenes from the past year. What's your favorite scene from a TV show or movie over the past year? Tells us on social media and we'll share it on the pod!  We watched Shakespear & Hathaway, series 1, episode 6, "Exit, Pursued by a Bear"  Hey!

Trigger warning for theatre nerds! We say “Macbeth” a LOT this episode. Trigger warning for anglophiles! Jacob makes a prat of himself and gets the word “tickety-boo” completely wrong! Trigger warning for pavement-ophiles! We make fun of cobblestones in this episode! We do a lot of wrong things in here. But do we get the guesses right?

The actor who plays Jaskier (Joey Batey) in The Witcher guest stars in this episode of Shakespeare & Hathaway, so we brainstorm ways to get more monsters (not just fairies) into Shakespeare's plays. Jacob disrespects the "To Be or Not To Be" soliloquy, Jessica conjures up the most baroque guess we've ever had (seriously, it involves harpists out for revenge) and we debate if we'd rather party with hobbits or Geralt.

What makes Vera so compelling? Is it her motherly advice to get babies drunk to make them stop crying? Is it the unflappable manner in which she only ever asks her suspects one question? Is it the joy she takes in unraveling some truly baroque murder mysteries? That's a lot of questions to answer in an hour -- especially when we try to slow down how fast Jacob talks. If we talk slowly, do we guess accurately? Listen and find out! We watched Vera, series 7, episode 3: "Broken Promise" Hey!

We compare Lucy Lawless to Shania Twain, Sigourney Weaver, and Gal Gadot then wax philosophical about the role Ben Affleck's stubble plays in the DC Universe. We also guess on My Life Is Murder, a New Zealand cozy mystery while Jacob tries to make rival costumers a thing and we read some truly horrifying descriptions of the main character's coat. Could it be made of human skin? Listen and find out! We watched My Life Is Murder, season 2, episode 4: "Look Don't Touch" Hey!

It's an all-star season finale! We watch an episode featuring the winner of our TV Detective championship, the artful detective William Murdoch himself, and chat with two TV murder experts, Mark and Sarah from the Mystery Maniacs podcast! Does Murdoch invent the banana hammock? Or the male gaze? Can Mark and Sarah explain to us what the deal with ferrets is?

You thought you had a side hustle? In addition to making wine and waking up early for prayers, Sister Boniface runs a full 1960s crime lab — in a town called GREAT SLAUGHTER. So yeah, she's busy. This episode brings a deadly beauty pageant to her abbey, and we bring the wild guesses!  We watched Sister Boniface Mysteries season 1 episode 10, "Crimes and Miss Demeanours."  Hey!

The Hallmark Channel loves Christmas so much, they put Santa Claus to work in their murder mystery shows! Santa has an attack of angina during a jewel heist and only Ponch from CHiPs can solve the mystery! There's a lot that's wrong about that sentence, but can we guess whodunit correctly?    We watched Picture Perfect Mysteries, Episode 2, “Dead Over Diamonds.” 

We fell hard for Poker Face. HARD. So many people we love are involved in it; the stories are messy and fun and human; the production values are off the charts — AND THEY TELL YOU WHODUNIT IMMEDIATELY! We can always win when we watch! Wait — the Podcast Adjudication board is telling me we still have to guess? Listen to find out how we do it and whether we still win!    We watched Poker Face season 1, episode 6, “Exit Stage Death.”  Hey!

Nic Sampson played Detective Constable Sam Breen on The Brokenwood Mysteries for many years — and he also wrote the episode we guessed on! In this interview we ask him how he made the shift from acting to writing, New Zealand to London, and from Power Rangers to improv. He also shares how he came up with the idea for an exploding port-a-potty in one of his mysteries.  You can find Nic on Twitter at @NicSampson and on Instagram at @nicthesampson. Hey!

At one time or another we've all asked “Who let the dogs out?” But also: How long will they stay out? Can they be put back in? And most importantly: Why did they think a plant was the best weapon to use while robbing a bank? It's a light-hearted robbery gone sideways this week as we guess for The Brokenwood Mysteries and talk to series regular (and writer for this episode!) Nic Sampson!  We watched The Brokenwood Mysteries season 7, episode 3, “Dog Day Morning.”  Hey!
