Updated Autopsy Report

Join us as Ben, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! We're continuing our movie marathon of Poirot adaptations with John Guillermin's 1978 rendition of Death on the Nile, another lavish production with on-location shooting, many extras, and a star-studded cast. This time however, Peter Ustinov takes on the role of Hercule Poirot, and he does a fine job with a slightly different take on the character that neve...

Join us as Ben, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! Well, not this time. Sorta! We've jumped into the future now with a more recent adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express, from famed actor/director Kenneth Branagh, which promises bombast and glamour, plus an expensive train set!

Join us as Ben, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! This episode we've got a real doozy for you: the iconic Donald Pleasence performance from "Any Old Port in a Storm!"
