The series focuses on a group of retirement village residents who investigate unsolved murders, and it's gotten so popular, it's received a Netflix adaptation starring Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren. Osman says he's enjoyed returning to the series and he's promised this next instalment will be a 'treat' for readers. "It's always difficult, but I hope at the end it looks and feels effortless."

The Impossible Fortune by Richard Osman Who's got time to think about murder when there's a wedding to plan? It's been a quiet year for the Thursday Murder Club. Joyce is busy with table plans and first dances. Elizabeth is grieving. Ron is dealing with family troubles, and Ibrahim is still providing therapy to his favourite criminal. But when Elizabeth meets a wedding guest who's in trouble, kidnap and death are hot on their heels once more. A villain wants access to an uncrackable code, and will stop at nothing to get it. Plunged back into action once more, can the gang solve the puzzle and a murder in time? Culpability by Bruce Holsinger When the Cassidy-Shaws' autonomous minivan collides with an oncoming car, seventeen-year-old Charlie is in the driver's seat, with his father, Noah, riding shotgun. In the back seat, tweens Alice and Izzy are on their phones, while their mother, Lorelei, a world leader in the field of artificial intelligence, is absorbed in her work. Yet each family member harbors a secret that implicates them in the accident. During a weeklong recuperation on the Chesapeake Bay, the family confronts the excruciating moral dilemmas triggered by the crash. Noah tries to hold the family together as a seemingly routine police investigation jeopardizes Charlie's future. Alice and Izzy turn strangely furtive. And Lorelei's odd behavior tugs at Noah's suspicions that there is a darker truth behind the incident—suspicions heightened by the sudden intrusion of Daniel Monet, a tech mogul whose mysterious history with Lorelei hints at betrayal. When Charlie falls for Monet's teenaged daughter, the stakes are raised even higher in this propulsive family drama that is also a fascinating exploration of the moral responsibility and ethical consequences of AI. Culpability explores a world newly shaped by chatbots, autonomous cars, drones, and other nonhuman forces in ways that are thrilling, challenging, and unimaginably provocative.

Richard Osman is known for his wit, his bestselling novels, and his sharp eye for detail. But behind it all is a simple guiding habit: tip generously.For Richard, it's never just about money. Growing up tall and often feeling different gave him a deep sense of empathy, and over time he realised that generosity, whether through money, time, kindness, or attention, isn't an extra, it's essential. It's how we connect, build trust, and shape the kind of people we want to be.In this episode, we explore what Richard's philosophy of generosity can teach us about leadership, empathy, and happiness. Together, we explore:Why empathy often comes from our differencesHow generosity builds trust and connectionThe science of giving and why it makes us happierWhy small, everyday acts can shape who we becomeHow leaders and teams can practise “tipping generously”Because high performance isn't only about discipline and drive, it's also about compassion, empathy, and the quiet strength of lifting others as we go.Here is more information on the studies referenced: Spending money on others promotes happiness (Dunn, Aknin & Norton, 2008)What we get when we give (Harvard Medicine, 2023)Self-Determination Theory and the facilitation of intrinsic motivation, social development, and well-being (Deci & Ryan, 2000)Influencing value priorities and increasing well-being: The effects of reflecting on intrinsic values (Lekes, Hope, Gouveia, Koestner & Philippe, 2012)Listen to the full episode with Richard Osman: https://pod.fo/e/26ea40 Hosted on Acast.

Tonight's Triple Feature brings together three wildly different but thematically connected films: Happy Gilmore 2, Heads of State, and The Thursday Murder Club. Netflix leads with Happy Gilmore 2, directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya) and marking Adam Sandler's return to his most iconic role in a sequel that blends nostalgia with heart. Amazon Prime counters with Heads of State, an action-comedy from Ilya Naishuller (Nobody) starring John Cena and Idris Elba as unlikely political partners, mixing campaign satire with explosive buddy-movie energy. Rounding things out is Netflix's adaptation of Richard Osman's bestseller The Thursday Murder Club, helmed by Chris Columbus and headlined by Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, and Ben Kingsley in what looks to be the start of a cozy-crime franchise. Critics call Happy Gilmore 2 a fun if uneven revival, Heads of State a brash but entertaining streaming-era crowd-pleaser, and The Thursday Murder Club charming and faithful, if leisurely paced. Together, these films explore the comedy and drama of second chances and reinvention—whether it's Sandler's aging golfer taking another swing, Cena and Elba finding common ground in chaos, or a group of retirees proving that friendship and wit never go out of style.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

This week our hosts, Josh and Jade, dig into Netflix's new adaptation of Richard Osman's bestselling novel The Thursday Murder Club. Directed by Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Home Alone), the film stars Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie, Pierce Brosnan, and David Tennant in a murder mystery set in a quiet retirement community that's anything but sleepy.The hosts debate whether the ensemble's chemistry makes the story sparkle, if the plot holds up to the hype, and—most importantly—why Pierce Brosnan was even cast in this movie. Is this Netflix's answer to Knives Out, or just more streaming slop? Tune in to hear your favorite hosts talk trash.

It's bonus time, as we bring you an extra episode of Soundtracking with Chris Columbus, director of the adaptation of Richard Osman's bestseller, The Thursday Murder Club. With a stellar cast including Hellen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Sir Ben Kingsley & Celia Imrie, it tells the story of Four retirees who spend their time solving cold case murders for fun, only to find themselves with a real whodunit on their hands.

You may know Tom Ellis as the devilishly charming lead in Netflix's Lucifer, or as the lovable Gary in the BBC sitcom Miranda. He's also made waves in the U.S., starring alongside Gina Rodriguez in Players, and appearing in Hulu's Tell Me Lies, created by his wife, Meghan Oppenheimer. In 2023, Tom and Meghan welcomed a daughter via surrogate, adding to his role as a proud dad of four. Now, his next big project is the star-studded film adaptation of Richard Osman's bestselling novel The Thursday Murder Club, alongside Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, and Richard E. Grant. In this episode, Tom opens up about modern fatherhood, navigating surrogacy, his fear of needles and what it's really like working on a series about sexual toxicity - with his real-life partner at the helm. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 01:25 From Cardiff to Hollywood 02:11 The Spiritual Journey 04:17 The Thursday Murder Club Experience 06:37 Personal Life and Surrogacy 10:20 Failures and Lessons in Sports 20:09 Discovering Acting 23:50 Being Recognised on the Street 24:04 Medical Green Card Failure 26:35 Discovering Vasovagal Condition 27:45 Becoming a US Citizen 27:54 Political Climate in the US 31:15 Working with his Wife 37:09 Financial Struggles as a Student 43:43 Cats and Family Life

Michael Gove and Madeline Grant launch ‘Quite right!', the new podcast from The Spectator that promises sanity and common sense in a world that too often lacks both.In their first episode, they take stock of a political summer dominated by Nigel Farage, a Labour government already facing mutiny, and the curious spectacle of Tory MPs moonlighting as gonzo reporters.From J.D. Vance's Cotswold sojourn and Tom Skinner's bish bash bosh patriotism, to Sydney Sweeney's jeans advert causing a culture war, Michael and Madeline discuss what really drives our politics: policies, or memes and vibes?Plus: Keir Starmer's ‘phase two' reshuffle – does it amount to more than technocratic jargon? And why has cosy crime conquered our screens, even as Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club stumbles upon its Netflix release?Produced by Oscar Edmondson, Oscar Bicket and Matt Miszczak.
