A Swede, a Brit and a Belgian board a train. In case you're worried that this is going to turn into an off-color joke about stereotypes... you'd be half right! So tuck your knives before customs confiscates them and join us on the soul train for a special birthday Patreon episode: Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express.
Kelly hops on board the wrong MTA line time and time again, praying she gets the simple title right. Thankfully Hercule Poirot is a more organized man than herself. With police pad and paper in hand she's made a weak effort to try and solve the murder with the detective supreme. Failing at deducing a motive from a few out of place materials, she can always disappear for a few days.
Agatha Christie is waiting for her at the spa with the best cover story.
Jimmy is measuring mustaches with Kenneth Branagh. A master at masterpiece theatre, Branagh brings day time mystery to the celluloid screen. Guns and romance pepper an otherwise cut and dry murder by numbers. Can a narcissist drum up the intrigue of American movie goers or will the film be laid out flat like Johnny Depp?
Did the subject matter die by words or confusing casting? Only you can decide if we go with option one or two. So gather up all you sleuths with Jim and Kelly in Cabin 16 for a stab at solving a murder.
