Episode Seventy-Nine: Movie Adaptations
In This Episode:
The guys get loopy and go see a movie! A MOVIE, ON A BOOK PODCAST?! It's okay, it's just the latest version of Murder on the Orient Express, starring just about everybody ever for approximately 3 minutes of screentime each. The ep takes on a movie-going theme from top to tail, including candy and booze-sneaking...
Other Highlights:
* Lots of book references
* Barely any fidelity to the normal structure of an episode
* Kenneth Branagh's mustache
