1926 mystery novel by Agatha Christie
POPULARITY
Before we move on to “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd,” let's discuss this adaptation of Agatha Christie's “The Unexpected Guest.” This play is popular everywhere but in Britain and the U.S., which has never filmed it. Why is that? And how well did the Estonians do?While this movie is subtitled, it was done using AI, so we'll also talk about the current state of translation software and artificial intelligence.Teresa Peschel, author of "Agatha Christie, She Watched" and the "International Agatha Christie, She Watched," hosts our livestream.

After a five-year hiatus, “Agatha Christie's Poirot” returned in 2000 with a different format (90-minute movies), a more serious tone, and less emphasis on Miss Lemon, Hastings, and Inspector Japp. The series was launched with one of Christie's greatest novels, “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd,” and what they did to the book, well, you'll have to watch us and find out.Teresa Peschel, author of "Agatha Christie, She Watched" and the "International Agatha Christie, She Watched," hosts our livestream.

Surprise! A bonus episode! We watched the recently released Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, the third film in the Benoit Blanc detective franchise written and directed by Rian Johnson and starring Daniel Craig. We get right into themes explored throughout the movie - the juxtaposition of Blanc and Father Jud and their differing views on faith, the temptation of power and wealth and how it preys on humanity, the many ways in which we tell stories about ourselves and each other, and the inherent power of collective judgement and shame. We delve deep into the complicated relationship between the Catholic Church and how it views and treats women, make parallels between Blanc and Poirot's view of justice and how room time as public shaming can be utilized (or not), praise the incredible lighting and cinematography multiple times, and debate whether this could have been made with a different religion at the core. We also talk about the many twists and turns the mystery takes throughout and realize the mastermind essentially accomplished their goal. Katy was influenced by The Murder of Roger Ackroyd too much, Carrie threw her notebook into the air, Maddy was thinking about Cats, and Mack pitches an academic paper. We also talk about how both Catholics and Rian Johnson love iconography and symbolism, are definitely charmed by Josh O'Connor, think the movie really balanced the buddy comedy and life philosophy aspects well, and love Bridget Everett so much. Listen to hear more about zombies, Captain Ahab, alter servers, Man v. Animal, The Dip, and Star Wars.

Pete and Trevor were both murdered in the car on the drive to see Wake Up Dead Man. It was the perfect crime and there are no suspects. Anyways, Rian Johnson's third entry in the Knives Out mystery franchise finds Daniel Craig return as Benoit Blanc who is tasked with solving a locked room mystery. As always, Johnson brings an all-star cast with Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church.

SPOILER WARNING This podcast contains a spoiler for Agatha Christie's 1926 classic The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. If miraculously, you have just ordered this from Amazon and don't want to know who the killer is, it's best to listen to this episode after reading the book. Similarly, if you've also somehow managed to avoid spoilers for the original Star Wars trilogy and The Sixth Sense and would like to one day experience those unspoiled, it's best to come back to this podcast after watching those movies. Furthermore, if you worry that by simply being told there's a twist, it will spoil your experience of a movie, there's a potential spoiler for another movie – which I will refrain from mentioning here for obvious reasons. There's also some discussion about the plot of the videogame Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse, so maybe play that first too. Finally, if this is how you found out that that the Carlton AFL team won a football game that you had recorded and were going to watch later, Nobody offers her sincere apologies. You know what, it's probably best to consume every piece of literature, film, videogames, sports and any other major entertainment event in history before listening to this show. For those who still insist on pressing onward, you have been warned! "And she's buying a stairway to Heaven" - Ben decides it's time to check whether Nobody is the Zodiac killer. - We play Led Zeppelin backwards and listen for satanic messages. - Nobody wants to establish some firm ground rules about spoiler warnings after getting spoiled on a 99-year-old book. - Ben poses a hypothetical about living like a hamster for a year. - We discuss deadbeat seahorse mothers and the most and least likely animals to commit a crime. - Ben recounts a story about an elephant rampaging through a funeral and Nobody teaches us about stingray math.

For most people, home represents comfort, safety, maybe family. It's the place where you can be yourself — and where you keep all your stuff. For the wealthy, the right home can mean status, reputation, and legacy, especially in the UK. For hundreds of years, the traditional English manor was more than simply a big house staffed with servants. It was a grand home situated on farmland owned by the family. In addition to being a showpiece, it was a responsibility. The US equivalent is a Gilded Age mansion, minus the need to worry about the welfare of tenants. Those 20th-century robber barons could simply count their money and throw lavish dinner parties. And in Europe, the history and luxurious accommodations come in the form of palaces, chateaux, castles, palazzos, and other opulent estates. In this episode, we explore the house -as-character in books by iconic authors, including Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, Nancy Mitford, and a gaggle of Gothic writers. We also delve into the real secrets of the Winchester Mystery House and meet the various ghosts haunting British country piles. Then we recommend many books we love set in notable manor homes, including: The Original by Nell Stevens The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters The Cherry Robbers by Sarai Walker — and the audiobook The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie Wakenhyrst by Michelle Paver — and the audiobook For more on the books we recommend, plus the other cool stuff we talk about, visit show notes.
