Ep 148607 Sherlock Holmes: The 1990s

Ep 147606 Sherlock Holmes: The 1980s

E

A very sleepy Chris and a less sleepy Eddy are back talking about Sherlock Holmes, and the absolute best Holmes actor of all time: Jeremy Brett. Prepare for a long one, as they both really love this show! HEADS UP: Eddy says the next episode will cover "Sherlock Holmes and the Incident in Victoria Falls." That's wrong. It's the other set of movies with Christopher Lee as Holmes: "Sherlock Holmes and the Leading Lady." Don't worry -- all four movies are equally forgettable.

Ep 142603 Sherlock Holmes: The 1950s
