Ep 59Shakespeare & Hathaway - ”Ill Met by Moonlight”
EIn which Jessica recounts all of the horrible productions of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and reaffirms her vow that it need never be staged again. We tell two young actors they should stay away from the stage (for reasons unrelated to their skill) and Jacob laments the necessity of a "Will they, won't they" dynamic. And somewhere in there we guess on the series 1 season finale of Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators!

Ep 58Shakespeare & Hathaway - ”The Rascal Cook”
EAre you ready for a clanging good time? Jessica applies to be on the Podcast Adjudication Board, we discover a savory (and sweet!) English breakfast pastry that will soon be adopted by Hot Pockets, and we get one of the world's best chase scenes ever! Plus rat poison, sexual harassment, and Sebastian in a chef's toque!

Ep 57Shakespeare & Hathaway - ”The Chameleon’s Dish”
EWe guarantee you've never truly seen "Hamlet" until you've seen Jacob perform Laertes in pink sweatpants. Unfortunately for you, this means you will never see Hamlet as pictures of this stunning endeavor no longer exist. Happily for us, we got to see what Frank's inner child needs to grow into an adult, Sebastian improvise a goth peanut allergy, and Luella go absolutely mental on mushrooms. But can we guess the murderer? We watched Shakespeare & Hathaway, series 1, episode 8, "The Chameleon's Dish." Hey!

Ep 56Shakespeare & Hathaway - The Fairest Show Means Most Deceit
EWelcome to our latest episode where we’ll greet you with a nod, hug, handshake, bow, or fist bump of your choice. And hugging, because we’re Americans and we can’t stop the hugging! We also debate whether British pants have pockets and offer a PSA on when it’s a good idea to shove bloody money down your pants. Spoiler: It’s never. You should never stuff bloody money down your pants. We watched Shakespeare & Hathaway, series 1, episode 7, "The Fairest Show Means Most Deceit" Hey!

Ep 55Shakespeare & Hathaway - ”Exit, Pursued by a Bear”
EWherein we recount the tale of how we were kind of actually pursued by a bear! We also rhapsodize about such things as sunny moors, praise the cozy, and discuss our favorite scenes from the past year. What’s your favorite scene from a TV show or movie over the past year? Tells us on social media and we’ll share it on the pod! We watched Shakespear & Hathaway, series 1, episode 6, "Exit, Pursued by a Bear" Hey!

Ep 54Shakespeare & Hathaway - ”Toil and Trouble”
ETrigger warning for theatre nerds! We say “Macbeth” a LOT this episode. Trigger warning for anglophiles! Jacob makes a prat of himself and gets the word “tickety-boo” completely wrong! Trigger warning for pavement-ophiles! We make fun of cobblestones in this episode! We do a lot of wrong things in here. But do we get the guesses right?

Ep 53Shakespeare & Hathaway - ”This Rough Magic”
EThe actor who plays Jaskier (Joey Batey) in The Witcher guest stars in this episode of Shakespeare & Hathaway, so we brainstorm ways to get more monsters (not just fairies) into Shakespeare's plays. Jacob disrespects the "To Be or Not To Be" soliloquy, Jessica conjures up the most baroque guess we've ever had (seriously, it involves harpists out for revenge) and we debate if we'd rather party with hobbits or Geralt.

Ep 52Vera - ”Broken Promise”
EWhat makes Vera so compelling? Is it her motherly advice to get babies drunk to make them stop crying? Is it the unflappable manner in which she only ever asks her suspects one question? Is it the joy she takes in unraveling some truly baroque murder mysteries? That's a lot of questions to answer in an hour -- especially when we try to slow down how fast Jacob talks. If we talk slowly, do we guess accurately? Listen and find out! We watched Vera, series 7, episode 3: "Broken Promise" Hey!

Ep 51My Life Is Murder - ”Look Don’t Touch”
EWe compare Lucy Lawless to Shania Twain, Sigourney Weaver, and Gal Gadot then wax philosophical about the role Ben Affleck's stubble plays in the DC Universe. We also guess on My Life Is Murder, a New Zealand cozy mystery while Jacob tries to make rival costumers a thing and we read some truly horrifying descriptions of the main character's coat. Could it be made of human skin? Listen and find out! We watched My Life Is Murder, season 2, episode 4: "Look Don't Touch" Hey!

We watch an episode featuring the winner of our TV Detective championship, the artful detective William Murdoch himself, and chat with two TV murder experts, Mark and Sarah from the Mystery Maniacs podcast!

Ep 48Sister Boniface Mysteries - “Crimes and Miss Demeanours”
EYou thought you had a side hustle? In addition to making wine and waking up early for prayers, Sister Boniface runs a full 1960s crime lab — in a town called GREAT SLAUGHTER. So yeah, she’s busy.

Ep 47Picture Perfect Mysteries - ”Dead Over Diamonds”
EThe Hallmark Channel loves Christmas so much, they put Santa Claus to work in their murder mystery shows! Santa has an attack of angina during a jewel heist and only Ponch from CHiPs can solve the mystery! There’s a lot that’s wrong about that sentence, but can we guess whodunit correctly? We watched Picture Perfect Mysteries, Episode 2, “Dead Over Diamonds.”
Ep 46Poker Face - ”Exit Stage Death”
EWe fell hard for Poker Face. HARD. So many people we love are involved in it; the stories are messy and fun and human; the production values are off the charts — AND THEY TELL YOU WHODUNIT IMMEDIATELY! We can always win when we watch! Wait — the Podcast Adjudication board is telling me we still have to guess? Listen to find out how we do it and whether we still win!

Ep 45Cluedunnit Interviews Nic Sampson
ENic Sampson played Detective Constable Sam Breen on The Brokenwood Mysteries for many years — and he also wrote the episode we guessed on! In this interview we ask him how he made the shift from acting to writing, New Zealand to London, and from Power Rangers to improv. He also shares how he came up with the idea for an exploding port-a-potty in one of his mysteries. You can find Nic on Twitter at @NicSampson and on Instagram at @nicthesampson. Hey!

Ep 44Brokenwood Mysteries - Dog Day Morning
EAt one time or another we’ve all asked “Who let the dogs out?” But also: How long will they stay out? Can they be put back in? And most importantly: Why did they think a plant was the best weapon to use while robbing a bank? It’s a light-hearted robbery gone sideways this week as we guess for The Brokenwood Mysteries and talk to series regular (and writer for this episode!) Nic Sampson! We watched The Brokenwood Mysteries season 7, episode 3, “Dog Day Morning.” Hey! Check out www.cluedunnitpodcast.com and let us know what you guessed, your logic cop catches, and anything else!

Ep 43Vienna Blood - The Melancholy Countess
EThis episode starts with a dead body in a bathtub full of coffee — so you know we loved it!

Ep 42Cluedunnit Interviews Tracy Friedman
ETracy Friedman is a writer, director, dancer, choreographer -- and a freelancer for Murder, She Wrote! She penned the episode we guessed on, "The Witch's Curse." We talked to her about snagging the job, convincing Randy Newman to let her make a jukebox musical of his hits, surviving a writers' strike while trying to break in, and more! Check it out! Hey!

Ep 41Murder, She Wrote - ”The Witch’s Curse”
EPut on your best Maine accent (or your best Received Pronunciation) and return with us to Cabot Cove! We pay homage to a titan of stage and screen, Angela Lansbury, with another Murder, She Wrote classic. MSW always had amazing guest stars, and this episode is no different! Which one of these tidbits is a lie: One guest star has more than 280 IMDB credits; One guest star has more than 320 IMDB credits; One guest star was in three of the most popular sales films ever — alongside Tommy Lasorda? We bring in another guest star: Tracy Friedman, the writer of this episode of Murder, She Wrote! She tells us the logline and shares how she spent her time waiting for the producer to tell her if they accepted her script or not. We watched Murder, She Wrote, season 8, episode 12: “The Witch’s Curse” on Peacock. Hey!

Ep 40The Law According to Lidia Poet - Season One, Episode Two
ESometimes the algorithm gets it right! Netflix showed us a preview for this show and we just had to watch it! This historical dramatization of Italy’s first female lawyer is set in 1883 but it out-Americans modern-day crime shows! Sex, murder, a chase — all in the first minute? Way to go Lidia! The computer got it right — does that mean we have a chance, too? We watched The Law According to Lidia Poet, Season One, Episode Two on Netflix. Hey!

Ep 38Sara Saedi Interview
EIn this sidebar episode of Cluedunnit we sit down with writer Sara Saedi. She was in the writers room for iZombie, is currently working on Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin, and has a bunch of other interesting credits and stories she shares with us, including the weirdest thing she ever had to look up for a mystery and how the pandemic inspired her latest novel.

Ep 37iZombie - Insane in the Germ Brain
EBIG NEWS! We’ve always wanted to learn more about the creators behind the shows we watch — and this week we start asking them! We interviewed iZombie writer Sara Saedi about how she started writing and how the team approached writing cases and love stories in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. We have a little teaser for that interview in this episode ahead of the full interview next week. Of course there’s still our patented guesses and randomness, including: Who would win in a show show-down between iZombie and Lucifer? Is it a Head of Hair, or Head of Hair Department? And does a zombie show actually deliver the most realistic depiction of detective work we’ve ever seen? Don’t make us go full Romero! Start listening now!

Ep 36Murder in Provence
ETrigger warning for midwesterners: In this episode we complain about being cold in California winters. And since it is the middle of winter, it’s time for our annual idyll in southern France! This year we visit sunny Aix-en-Provence — or is it in the middle of Oxfordshire, England? This show has a lot of English folks playing very, very French folks in stories created by a Canadian — and the cognitive dissonance is killing us! We watched Murder in Provence, Season 1, Episode 2 on Britbox. Hey! Check out our Cluedunnit podcast website and let us know what you guessed, your logic cop catches, and anything else!

Ep 35Magnum PI (2018) ”Mondays Are for Murder”
EWe get some thrilling Hawaiian action this week with the reboot of “Magnum PI”! Magnum … becomes an efficiency expert? In an office? Can he make awkward birthday celebrations, TPS reports, and sneaking a smoke in the stairwell … exciting? Can you film a chase scene in a parking garage? Can we get a win in our fall season finale? And what does the goat have to do with anything? We bring back our friends Wayne and Alyssa for reinforcements to guess on the reboot of Magnum PI, season 2, episode 13, “Mondays are for Murder” on Apple TV.

Ep 34Agatha Raisin ”The Curious Curate”
ERaisins are sweet. Agatha Christie is one of the best mystery writers of all time. Would a mash-up of the two equal a sweet mystery show? Jessica confesses which acting teacher scared her to death and Jacob breaks out some non-traditional acting exercises as we try to get in the win column! We watched Agatha Raisin, series 2 episode 3, “The Curious Curate,” on Hoopla. (A streaming service for libraries!) Join the fun and tell us your guesses online at: Twitter: @cluedunnit Facebook: @cluedunnitpodcast Instagram: @cluedunnitpodcast
Ep 33McDonald & Dodds
EWhat do you put on your fries? Ketchup, vinegar, mayonnaise, or butter? Which you choose will tell us a lot about who you are and how handy you might be in guessing for our latest show! We head to Bath, England to see which member of a deeply, deeply dysfunctional plastic surgery team killed a social media influencer — and is that better or worse than scratching up a first-printing Teddy Prendergrass LP? We watched McDonald & Dodds, series 2, episode 3, “The War of the Rose,” on Britbox. Join the fun and tell us your guesses online at: Twitter: @cluedunnit Facebook: @cluedunnitpodcast Instagram: @cluedunnitpodcast
Ep 32So Help MeTodd
EIs it sparkly because it’s new? Or is it sparkly because of all the rain in the Pacific Northwest? Or is sparkly because it’s just a damn good show? Maybe all of the above? Luckily, we’ve got a new private detective to help us figure it all out! Jessica does a deep dive on stools, Jacob gives TV critics the what for, and we both make a case for this being a comedy, not a drama. We watched So Help Me Todd, episode two, “Co-pilot,” on CBS. Join the fun and tell us your guesses online at: Twitter: @cluedunnit Facebook: @cluedunnitpodcast Instagram: @cluedunnitpodcast
Ep 31Ep. 30 - Morning Show Mysteries: A Murder in Mind
EMeet the new superwoman: Billie Blessings. She’s a best-selling author, chef, restauranteur, TV personality, and expert crime solver — suck on that, Martha Stewart!

We watched Morning Show Mysteries, “A Murder in Mind” on the Hallmark app. Join the fun and tell us your guesses online at: Twitter: @cluedunnit Facebook: @cluedunnitpodcast Instagram: @cluedunnitpodcast
Ep 30Ep. 29 - Bones
EBreak out your barbecue sauce and your crosswords, it’s time for a very bloody episode of Cluedunnit! Jessica gets all suspicious of Will Shortz, and Jacob takes not one, not two, but three stabs at guessing who did it. Will he get it right this time? Or will he pack it all in to become a super-fan of “Murder Flip”? We watched season 7, episode 6 of “Bones,” entitled “The Crack in the Code.” We streamed it on Hulu. Join the fun and tell us your guesses online at: Twitter: @cluedunnit Facebook: @cluedunnitpodcast Instagram: @cluedunnitpodcast
Ep 29Ep. 28 - The Mallorca Files
E“The Mallorca Files” hits every endorphin button for Jacob: Gorgeous Mediterranean island, comedic duo, amazing crimes to guess at, and a recurring emphasis on fabulous food. It’s got it all! Will it supply that final endorphin rush, a win? Listen and find out! We watched season 2, episode 3 of “The Mallorca Files,” entitled “A Dish Served Cold.” We streamed it on BritBox. Join the fun and tell us your guesses online at: Twitter: @cluedunnit Facebook: @cluedunnitpodcast Instagram: @cluedunnitpodcast
Ep 28Ep. 27 - Miss Scarlet and the Duke
EThis week we tackle the central question of any mystery show: Pockets. Are they worth it? We also interrogate sound effects around horses and try yet again to recreate the musical theme to a show using only our mouths. We watched “Miss Scarlet and the Duke,” season 1, episode 6, “The Case of Henry Scarlet.” We streamed it on the PBS app. Join the fun and tell us your guesses online at: Twitter: @cluedunnit Facebook: @cluedunnitpodcast Instagram: @cluedunnitpodcast
Ep 27Ep. 26 - Magnum, P.I.
EWe go back to the ’80s this week for a tropical holiday with what may be the most famous mustache in all of TV: Tom Selleck as “Magnum, P.I.” I don’t know why showing so much body hair was a good idea, but Tom Selleck makes it work! And like we always say, “Watching TV is always better with friends.” So this week we are joined by our good friends, playwright Wayne Rawley and actress Alyssa Bostwick as we break down why Fig Newtons, VCR tapes, and Agatha Christie marathons make for one weird episode! We watched Magnum, P.I., season four, episode 12, “The Case of the Red-Faced Thespian.” We streamed it on FreeVee. Join the fun and tell us your guesses online at: Twitter: @cluedunnit Facebook: @cluedunnitpodcast Instagram: @cluedunnitpodcast
Ep 26Ep. 25 - Murder, She Wrote
EReturn with us now to the thrilling era of yesteryear, when network shows had budgets to hire 15 day players, fake mustaches could be hidden in the low-res broadcast transmission, and gigantic accents roamed the earth! This week we guess on “Murder, She Wrote,” a classic with deep roots in the history of TV. Will all our training over summer hiatus enable us to guess correctly? Or will we have to rely on Jessica Fletcher to clue us in? Listen and find out! We watched “Murder, She Wrote,” season 3, episode 12, “The Corpse Flew First Class.” We streamed it on Peacock. Join the fun and tell us your guesses online at: Twitter: @cluedunnit Facebook: @cluedunnitpodcast Instagram: @cluedunnitpodcast
Ep 25Ep. 24 - Shakespeare and Hathaway
EThis week we go back in time and watch Shakespeare solve the murder of who killed Kit Marlowe! Wait, no, I’ve got that all backwards — “Shakespeare and Hathaway” is a modern-day comedy mystery of an unlikely crime-solving duo that keeps Stratford-upon-Avon safe from criminals. I like my idea better. I want see Shakespeare solving crimes while tooling around Stratford in a Ferrari horse cart and delivering his inner PI monologue in iambic pentameter. We watched season 2, episode 9, “The Envious Court.” Knowledge of “As You Like It” not necessary, but fun! We streamed the episode on BritBox. Join the fun and tell us your guesses online at: Twitter: @cluedunnit Facebook: @cluedunnitpodcast Instagram: @cluedunnitpodcast
Ep 24Ep. 23 - Women’s Murder Club
EWine, women, and murder! This week Cluedunnit watches "Women's Murder Club," the short-lived but totally great mystery procedural set in San Francisco just before the advent of the iPhone. When someone is murdered by getting run over by a vintage car, we get to guess who did it, and why -- as well as scrutinize the invention of modern dance, schoolgirl crushes on the BeeGees, and the correct way to reference Bay Area Rapid Transit. We watched Women’s Murder Club Ep. 10, “FBI Guy” on the streaming service Tubi. Join the fun and tell us your guesses online at: Twitter: @cluedunnit Facebook: @cluedunnitpodcast Instagram: @cluedunnitpodcast
Ep 23Ep. 22 - Aurora Teagarden Mysteries
EMurder, murder most foul! But with a really nice Christmas ornament section. Return to the Hallmark Murder-verse with us as we watch Aurora Teagarden try to solve a killing in her small town, while family members object to her morbid curiosity and maybe secretly wonder when they’re going to fall prey to the librarian’s incessant need for a murder to solve. We watched "Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Dead Over Heels" on the Hallmark app. Join the fun and tell us your guesses online at: Twitter: @cluedunnit Facebook: @cluedunnitpodcast Instagram: @cluedunnitpodcast
Ep 22Ep.21 - Murdoch Mysteries
EConstable Murdoch didn't invent the re-watch podcast, but that might be the only thing he didn't! We visit Edwardian-era Toronto to solve the mystery of Canada's first vehicular homicide as we watch The Murdoch Mysteries, season 11, episode 7, titled "The Accident." He solves the crime, but can we solve why he's a cop instead of a full-time inventor? Join the fun and tell us your guesses online at: Twitter: @cluedunnit Facebook: @cluedunnitpodcast Instagram: @cluedunnitpodcast
Ep 21Ep. 20 - ABC Murders
EStand back! It's a giant-sized Cluedunnit, as big as the facial hair of the 1930s! THRILL! As we watch the 2018 movie version of “The ABC Murders.” SHRIEK! As we play Pink Floyd vs. Led Zeppelin! SWOON! As we go gaga for John Malkovich! GASP! As we maybe, possibly, guess correctly? Listen to find out!

Ep 20Ep. 19 - Private Eyes
EWe try to guess who stole a bride's tiara -- but Jessica's guesses get completely derailed by the smokin' hot outfits Jason Priestley wears and Jacob makes a big, big mistake about Porsches.
