Podcasts about thursday murder club

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB (2025), from a screenplay by Katy Brand and Suzanne Heathcote director Chris Columbus, and based on Richard Osman's book.  At the luxurious Cooper's Chase retirement village, four sharp and witty retirees—Elizabeth (Helen Mirren), Ron (Pierce Brosnan), Ibrahim (Ben Kingsley), and new member Joyce (Celia Imrie) — meet weekly as "The Thursday Murder Club" to casually solve cold cases.  Their amateur sleuthing turns serious when one of the property's developers, Tony Curran (Geoff Bell), is brutally murdered on their doorstep, followed soon after by the death of his business partner, Ian Ventham (David Tennant).  Using their unique skills and the assistance of a young, bored police constable (Naomi Ackie), the four friends set out to investigate the real-life whodunit, uncovering secrets that connect the present-day killings to a decades-old crime hidden within the retirement home's past.  The film clocks in at 1 h 58 m, is rated PG-13 and is currently available on Netflix.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#TheThursdayMurderClub #RichardOsman #KatyBrand #SuzanneHeathcote   #ChrisColumbus #HelenMirren #Elizabeth #PierceBrosnan #Ron #BenKingsley #Ibrahim #CeliaImrie #Joyce #NaomiAckie #Donna #JonathanPryce #Stephen #TomEllis #Jason #GeoffBell #Tony #NeilTennant #Ian #HenryLloydHughes #Bogdan #DanielMays #DCIHudson #RichardEGrant #Bobby #IngridOliver #Joanna #JosephMarcell #FatherMackie #MartinBishop #Bernard #RuthSheen #Maud #SusanKirby #Penny #PaulFreeman #John  #Comedy #Crime #Whodunit #Mystery #Thriller  ⁠@Netflix  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

Welcome back to Shrink Chat, where horror, humor, and psychology collide!In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, Shannon and Cathy dive headfirst into the latest in horror and true crime-inspired media — with their signature mix of sharp insight and dark humor.

This week Nick talks to Jeff ChatfieldJeff Chatfield is the CEO of Avation, a publicly listed aircraft leasing company with a global portfolio of commercial and regional aircraft. He has over two decades of experience in the aviation finance industry, leading the company through multiple bond issues and strategic fleet expansions. Known for his pragmatic approach to capital management, Chatfield has built Aviation into one of the few small-scale lessors capable of issuing public bonds. Based between Singapore and London, he is recognised for his clear, data-driven insights into market trends and aircraft investment strategy.In this episode Nick and Jeff discuss the company's recent US$300 million bond issue and improved credit ratings from major agencies, marking a significant step forward since its earlier, lower-rated bonds. Jeff discusses how the refinancing provides long-term stability, enabling the company to continue its growth trajectory over the next five and a half years. He explains how the upgraded ratings reflect Aviation's maturity and scale in a market where even US$20 billion is now considered small, while also noting the flexibility and strategic value of bonds for managing capital efficiently.The discussion moves to fleet strategy, including the extended lease of a wide-body A330 to EVA Air and the company's ongoing focus on narrow-body aircraft such as A320s and ATRs. Chatfield highlights the global demand for aircraft driven by replacement cycles and rising air travel in emerging economies such as India and China. He emphasises Aviation's valuable order book and purchase rights, which position the company strongly amid limited aircraft supply.Jeff's Book Choice was:The Thursday Murder Club by Richard OsmanThis content is issued by Zeus Capital Limited (“Zeus”) (Incorporated in England & Wales No. 4417845), which is authorised and regulated in the United Kingdom by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) for designated investment business, (Reg No. 224621) and is a member firm of the London Stock Exchange.

A group of pensioners at a British retirement village have an unusual hobby: they gather weekly to ponder cold cases. But when its co-owner is murdered in the midst of a business dispute over closing the Cooper Chase facility, the elderly sleuths insert themselves in the mystery. With a mix of senior citizen charm and a lifetime of hidden expertise, the Thursday Murder Club digs into the shady backgrounds and dodgy business associates of the retirement community's remaining owners. As the bodies pile up, these armchair detectives find themselves in real-world peril as they get closer to solving the mystery. Based on the hit book series, “The Thursday Murder Club” stars Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, and Ben Kingsley.  It brings the cozy murder trope into a quiet retirement village where the unlikely sleuths chase down a killer—and remind the world that experience, friendship, and love never grow old.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: I ain't saying she a gold digger™ For exclusive podcasts and more, sign up at Patreon.Sign up for our newsletter at crimewriterson.com.

Head's up: Colleen had a lot of Internet problems while recording this episode. It's edited down pretty heavily. On this week's ep, Colleen is teaching herself tarot and Shandy has a 'bat update,' which leads into a lengthy discussion about vaccines. If you want to skip ahead once the vaccine talk starts, the Thursday Murder Club discussion is at 39:38, give or take for ads breaks. On the back end, there is a lot of Broadway talk, which bores Shandy, and a great life-hack suggestion from a listener.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITWhat happens when we intentionally disconnect from the digital world? This intimate morning reflection explores the transformative power of putting down our phones and engaging with life directly.After becoming overwhelmed by online negativity and divisive discourse surrounding recent events, I made the decision to step away from social media for the weekend. What followed was a revelation in productivity and joy that many of us forget is possible in our hyper-connected lives. From quality family time at a newly discovered restaurant (The Flying Biscuit) to shopping excursions that took me slightly outside my comfort zone, the weekend became an exercise in rediscovering simple pleasures and accomplishment.The episode weaves personal experiences with broader observations about our relationship with technology and media consumption. I share book recommendations for "The Thursday Murder Club" series (far superior to the film adaptation), reveal fascinating trivia about the iconic boombox scene in "Say Anything," and discuss concerning research about Ozempic users abandoning their treatment regimens prematurely. Throughout these seemingly disparate topics runs a common thread – the value of mindfulness and presence in a world constantly competing for our attention.As we navigate increasingly complex and sometimes disturbing news cycles, including the recent incident in Utah where two men were arrested for planting an explosive device under a news van, perhaps the greatest self-care practice is knowing when to step back. Join me in exploring how periodic digital detoxes can help maintain our mental health while still staying informed about the world around us.

When police raided the home of 48-year-old Gary Francis Newman in March 2007, they found him sitting in his lounge room, chatting online with a 14-year-old girl. She thought she was speaking to “Brandon,” a teenage American boy. In reality, Brandon was a persona—a carefully crafted fake identity Newman had used to lure girls online. Police would later uncover nearly 200 such identities. One of those girls was Carly Ryan. Newman lured Carly to a secluded beach, pretending to be Brandon, and brutally murdered her. What followed was every parent’s nightmare—and one mother’s mission to stop it ever happening again. Donate to the work at The Carly Ryan Foundation through their website here.

LOOK OUT! It’s only Films To Be Buried With! Join your host Brett Goldstein as he talks life, death, love and the universe with the esteemed and ultra prolific filmmaker CHRIS COLUMBUS! An absolute joy of an episode featuring someone who is a true mainstay and firm fixture of the modern cinematic universe. You wll have almost certainly seen at least - let's say - two of his films, highly likely more, but a quick gaze through IMDB will give you an idea of the magnitude. A really great catchup and check-in with these two, covering ground including but not limited to the trickiness of imagining the future on film, his heavy back catalogue, the British Invasion (musically), wannabe tough-guy scares, and the fear of losing your family. Lovely stuff, start to end. Enjoy! Video and extra audio available on Brett's Patreon!

This week, Steve, Julia and guest host Isaac Butler visit a pre-gentrified 1990s New York to discuss the gritty crime romp Caught Stealing directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Austin Butler (no relation). Next, it's off to Cooper's Chase, an English manor turned retirement community, to take up the case of The Thursday Murder Club, Netflix's new film adaptation of the beloved cozy mystery series.

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.

You don’t expect to find two billionaires posed like mannequins by their own pool. But on December 15, 2017, realtor Elise Stern did just that when she entered Barry and Honey Sherman’s Toronto mansion. Honey was traveling, and Barry was at work, so Elise knew the couple wouldn’t be home. As she showed potential buyers through the house, Elise pointed out quirky features, including life-size statues. When they reached the basement pool, she was shocked to see two figures hanging by their necks from the pool railing. Realizing these were not statues, Elise called for help. The bodies of Barry and Honey Sherman—two of Canada’s wealthiest—had been discovered. Their deaths triggered an investigation that remains unsolved nearly eight years later, with a $35 million reward offered for information. Listen to The Billionaire Murders podcast here.

This week's Empire Podcast sees Chris Hewitt sit down, on Zoom and in person, with a cavalcade of cracking guests. There's Eva Victor, star/writer/director of the excellent Sorry, Baby, who talks about cats, directing themselves, and people who look like yams. [23:05 - 39:05 approx] Then there's Olivia Colman and Jay Roach, star and director of The Roses, the reimagining of the classic comedy, The War Of The Roses, who talk about baseball, guns, and terrible dinner parties. [59:50 - 1:17:03 approx] And, last but not least, Chris genuflects in the general direction of Sir Ben Kingsley, star of The Thursday Murder Club, as they talk about that movie, Sexy Beast, and Trevor Slattery. [1:42:55 - 1:56:29 approx] Either side of those, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen O'Hara and, after a fashion, Ben Travis for a fun episode in which they discuss the greatest movie Chucks (and variations thereof), run their eyes over the week's movie news (and yes, the reveal of the Star Wars: Starfighter cast came too late, dagnammit), and review Darren Aronofsky's Caught Stealing, Macon Blair's The Toxic Avenger, The Roses, and The Thursday Murder Club.
