We're back in the Marvel Milieu Mines to dig out another helping of the Guy Ritchie film series Sherlock Holmes - this time, the 2011 film, A Game of Shadows. And........ uh oh, guys. Discussions abound about the relative lumpiness of beloved actor and Chernobyl star Jared Harris, Guy Ritchie's persistent and weird and utterly incorrect belief that he knows what the Roma are all about, and why exactly the hosts of this podcast found this film in a $3 bargain bin coincidentally just as they were preparing to record. It's like some twisted form of kismet!We're also leveling our cannons at the (checks notes) RWBY fandom, apparently!Editor's Note: Any statements made by any and all podcast editors editors vis a vis piracy in this episode are the personal opinion of that individual and do not necessarily reflect the stated opinion of the podcast or its distributors, but are unimpeachable and objectively correct.

Another dollop of Brett awaits our hosts Ansel and Rachael as they finish up discussing season 1 of the Granada TV adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. Find within; professional Best Girl Violet Hunter, adaptational misogyny from an extremely divorced writer, and a lovely series of picnics that are only slightly marred by the bit at the end where Sherlock Holmes Fucking Dies.Contact the pod!

In this episode of the Sherlock Says Book Club, Rachael and Ansel continue to read Brian McCusky's How Sherlock Pulled the Trick and have some notes for the author. Look out for discussions of cult deprogramming strategy, how the popular perception of Holmes is fueled by patriarchy, and (because this is the podcast it is) how this all ties into fandom.Wow that sure is a tumblr-ass list of topics, isn't it. In this game of analyst vs. analyst, who will win? The hosts that are responding to the book, or the author who isn't present to defend himself? Check it out!Contact the pod!

Hold onto your socks, lads, we're getting all intellectual. On this episode, Rachael and Ansel read the first part of How Sherlock Pulled the Trick by Brian McCuskey. The book is - among other things - an examination of how Doyle's spiritualist and pseudoscientific beliefs, far from being separate from Sherlock Holmes, are inextricably tied to him. Join us for a rollicking discussion of Doyle's Spiritualist Stank™, late Victorian religious turmoil, and the Mean Girls of the early evolutionary theory debate scene.Contact the pod!

Because it's time for another Sherlock Says! This time, Rachael and Ansel are joined by Mick Sharpe to discuss The Adventure of Silver Blaze, a story that's shockingly not as racist as it could have been.Topics include incorrect places to keep hobby knives, dog-inflicted injuries, and mysteriously disappearing wind. Also notch up the "Holmes Gremlin" counter by one, folks playing along at home. Check out Mick at https://protectionfarleftofcenter.com/Contact the pod!
