Three friends agree to watch every episode and movie of the television hit Hart to Hart to determine once and for all if Hart to Hart is a good show. Join Ellen Ito (the devoted lover) Erik Blood (the nostalgic acquaintance) and Joe Garber (the dubious virgin) on a journey filled with fabulous fashions, furious fistfights, and of course MURDER!
The It Was Murder Podcast is a must-listen for fans of the Hart to Hart series or anyone who enjoys witty and entertaining discussions about classic TV shows. The hosts, Ellen, Erik, and Joe, bring their own unique perspectives and humor to each episode, making it a joy to listen to. Whether you're a long-time fan of the show or just discovering it for the first time, this podcast offers a fresh take on the episodes and the era in which they were made.
One of the best aspects of The It Was Murder Podcast is the perfect combination of humor, wit, and affection that Ellen, Erik, and Joe bring to their discussions. They have a great rapport with each other and their love for the show shines through in every episode. Their insights into the characters and storylines are both insightful and hilarious, making it feel like you're sitting down with friends to talk about your favorite TV show.
Another great aspect of this podcast is the host's ability to create a comfortable and enjoyable listening experience. There's something very comforting about hearing them discuss late '70s-'80s action romance network TV in such a low-key and sensible manner. It's a nice escape from the chaos of everyday life and provides a sense of relaxation while still being highly entertaining.
While there aren't many negative aspects to mention about The It Was Murder Podcast, some listeners might find it disappointing that there aren't more guest appearances from Stefanie Powers or Robert Wagner themselves. However, the hosts do an excellent job of dissecting each episode without these guests, so it doesn't detract too much from the overall enjoyment.
In conclusion, The It Was Murder Podcast is an absolute delight for fans of Hart to Hart or anyone looking for an entertaining discussion about classic TV shows. Ellen, Erik, and Joe bring humor, wit, and affection in every episode as they break down each episode with insightful commentary on both the show itself and the era in which it was made. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the series, this podcast is sure to bring a smile to your face and make you want to rewatch all your favorite episodes of Hart to Hart.
If you love Brian DePalma, you love this movie. If you don't, I'm very sorry you watched Femme Fatale (2002).
Kicking off our Chain Reaction: Mysteries season with a diabolical classic!
Our final Heart of Harts episode and an intro to what's coming next!

That old Michael Jordan meme comes to mind.
It Was Murder: a safe space for dangerous language
I'm sending you a shape with my mind. (it's three wavy lines)
Widely cosidered (by the three of us) to be Brian DePalma's masterpiece, 1981's Blow Out feels like the perfect movie to discuss on the eve of another election in America. But whose scream will be chosen in the end?
One of our early favorites of the series, "Cop Out" doesn't exactly fit the "spooky" theme, but it did inspire maybe our best Halloween party theme yet! SEX WORK IS WORK!!!
A connection as thin as Freddy's razor fingernails, we went to an iconic 80's slasher sequel that had a hospital in it. (shrug emoji)
Hospitals are scary enough without mob hits going down every damn day! If only the FBI could get better at FBIing!
We paired What Murder? with Brian De Palma's first maligned, now beloved, Body Double! Peeping, porn, and a pop music video are in store.
It's Spooky Season so we've picked a handful of H2H episodes that we consider "spooky" as a treat for yall! But beware!! There will also be a "trick".
Our final stop for Traveler's Delight is the island of Rhodes, Greece for one of our favorite episodes "Death Dig"! Anyone remember the amount of powdered beverages in the average American household in the 1980s?
We went to actual England in the episode Harts and Hounds! We also talk about crackers quite a bit. Like, maybe more than you might expect. Be forewarned.
Throw on your bigoudenes and banjo hats, we're hitting the road, rail, and sea to watch an old friend get murdered in The Hart of the Matter!
We are joined by our beloved Corey J. Brewer for "Hostage Harts" AGAIN!
We are joined by our beloved Corey J. Brewer for "Hostage Harts" AGAIN!
A day trip to Malapique is just what the vet ordered! Dont forget your monochromatic satin jumpsuit!
We hit the Big Easy incognito this week with Hart's Desire! Is it a work trip? Let us know in the comments. (comments disabled)
If I was still doing subtitles, I'd have to choose between "Cold Sandwiches" and "Slapped to Death". But I'm not, so I don't! We received a dispatch from the London office, btw! Listen and find out what the hell is happening across the pond.
Ahh, Hawaii and dead bodies grabbing your leg on the shore. What more could our heroes ask for?
Have you ever wanted to go to New York City for like 10 minutes? Here's your chance!
Welcome to Traveler's Delight: Passport to Murder! Fourteen days on a boat just to get chased by corrupt cops and leered at by a woman who crunches beans? Hmmm. Ito Shandy 1 can frozen concentrated lemonade or limeade All of the Mexican Pilsner your vessel will hold Combine in a big ass vessel (punch bowl, etc), ladle into a glass with or without ice, and enjoy on the dock or your rich friend's boat.
We followed John Cazale to 1975's Dog Day Afternoon for our Chain Reaction: Open Season finale!
We all picked The Conversation!!! It's a cause for slow, tense, methodical celebration!
We followed Candy Clark to 1973's surprise hit "American Graffiti"! Is GL's only non-sci-fi movie a study of nostalgia, or is it still a sci-fi movie? Find out, maybe, in the episode.
We followed editor Graeme Clifford to 1976's The Man Who Fell to Earth. David Bowie is painfully thin, Rip Torn is incredibly naked, and Buck Henry does a weird spit bubble thing that none of us can explain. Can you?
We followed Giorgio Trestini to the amazing 1974 thriller Don't Look Now! Erasing psychics??? Us??!! Never!
We followed "zombies" to 1974's Let Sleeping Corpses Lie/The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue/Don't Open the Window/choose your own title.
We followed Dick Rude (yes, really) to 1984's Night of the Comet. It's a perfect movie. (the thoughts expressed in this podcast description are not shared by Ellen Ito)
We followed Sy Richardson to the 1984 cult classic Repo Man! Joe has an insight into the film that blows Erik's mind while Ellen drops Johnny Marr's original band name on us.
We followed "disco" to 1979's Nocturna. I never thought I'd use disco to kill.
We followed director John Badham to the 1977 phenomenon Saturday Night Fever. Blood, sweat, and tears.
We followed Michael Ensign to 1983's WarGames. Definitely hits different in 2024, but the message remains evergreen.
We followed...something...I don't know anymore...to 1985's House! our minds may be mush, but we are still more coherent than this film.
We....uh....followed Erik's theme of dreamlike television movie to 1985's "The Peanut Butter Solution" and...hmmm...we're sorry?
We followed the theme of "revenge/made in Japan" to 1977's House/Hausu. It's the highest concentration of pure 1977 that we've been able to source.
We followed Eiji Okada to 1973's Lady Snowblood! Holy shit!
