The Valley Of Fear, Part One, Or: Banned On Account Of String Crimes

DESPITE THE BEST EFFORTS of 2019 and A LITERAL CRIMINAL, we are BACK and here to tell you about A THPOOKY VALLEY, which is presumably where that gross ranch dressing comes from. Who murdered this gentle yuppie in his gaudy forest castle? Which network will be brave enough to give us a sitcom about My Three Detectives sharing an apartment? WHEN WILL A WOMAN IN ONE OF THESE STORIES GET A FRIGGIN' NAME?

The Adventure Of The Second Stain, Or: Quiddled It But Good

The Baker Street Bois are called upon to find a letter that has the power to break the world as they know it! Which one was it?! Was it G? WE NEVER TRUSTED G, IT COULD BE KEEPING ANYTHING UNDER THAT LITTLE SHELF. Also a shoutout to a legitimate publication whose good graces we have SOMEHOW lucked into, Nick demonstrates the process by which capitalism drives the translation of everything creative and unique about a person into sweet lucre, and Casey never finishes telling us what he learned about Bees.

The Final Podblem: Holmes and Watson Or: Now THAT's What I Call Romantic Autopsy Music

Due to ties of blood that appear to be unbreakable despite our legal team's best efforts, we were bound this week to watch 2018's Holmes & Watson. THRILL as we attempt to figure out how many scripts it was cobbled together from! CHILL as we try to scrape together as many complimentary things to say about it as we can, such as "not as racist as it could be", "a tight 90 minutes" and "a movie"! SPILL as you realize your nearby beverage wasn't as securely positioned as you thought and now your leg is covered in SoBe, and soon the ants will come!

The Final Podblem: The Sussex Vampire, Or: Prime Howlin'-Time

Holmes and Watson meet with a challenge that they have no choice but to admit they aren't qualified for: salvaging an 8-page story where dogs get names but women don't. Also, the boys discuss small Belgian dog and large lycanthropes with peer-pressure issues; we realize that's three separate dogs, which is a lot for one episode description, but we worked with what we were given.
