Sherlock Says

This week, on a very special 50th EPISODE SUPER SPECTACULAR, your hosts Ansel and Rachael return at last to where it began: the BBC's Sherlock. Covering episode 1, A Study in Pink, your humble presenters will begin to grapple with their demons and the various fandom skeletons in their closets. Editor's Note: Sorry this one came up late, I just completely forgot to upload and schedule it after it was approved! My bad!

DISCLAIMER: In this episode, Rachael confuses Petrarch and Plutarch, causing great offense to the man who invented the Sonnet, and she is mortified. Welcome back, super sleuths, it's another Sherlock Says! This time, Rachael and Ansel are joined by local thespian Kyle B. Dekker to discuss The Boscombe Valley Mystery, most famously known as "the story where that illustration of Holmes in the deerstalker comes from." Other topics of conversation include Victorian Diabetes, brainstorming fics (again), and, as ever, a return to Afghanistan. Also wow there's sure a lot of talk about dog death in this episode about a story containing zero dead dogs. Find Kyle's work at hotchocolatemedia.net Contact the pod!

You've got a fever (needing to kill time) and we've got the prescription: One dose of Sherlock Says with Ansel and Rachael every 2 weeks. Taken for joint pain, muscle spasms, boredom, anxiety, and having to watch more House MD. Side effects may include rude doctors, exploding penises, hallucinations, exposure to transphobia, and events surrounding children that use some demonetization words. Take on an empty stomach because like I said, exploding penises. Contact the pod! Linktree at: https://linktr.ee/sherlocksayspod?fbclid=PAAaalIOau9IFlX3ixKFo3lsvmq6U1pYn8m3cf7N6aOqkqUGCljCO0R00KZ3E

Get your canes and Vicodin ready, kids! This week, Ansel and Rachael are reviewing House MD, a medical mystery television series from the mid-2000's that occasionally takes breaks from doing hate crimes and causing malpractice lawsuits to vaguely gesture in the direction of Sherlock Holmes. Join everyone's second favorite grumpy doctor (because nobody beats Cox (wait that came out wrong)) for an adventure in pill-popping, wise-cracking, and a frankly startling amount of racism even for 20 years ago.

This week, Rachael and Ansel are joined by friend of the pod Marty to discuss the Sherlock Holmes module for the tabletop game Unlock! And, because they know their poor editor had so much work on the last two episodes, they made this one very short and fast to edit. I'm sure that's why, and for no other reasons.

Your daring hosts Ansel and Rachael are hitting the books again to answer the question of what could possibly link such disparate things as: - The Zodiac Killer (no not that one) - Charles Lindbergh (yes, that one) - The Kensington Runestone (Minnesotans know what we're talking about) Well, aside from this podcast, the answer is The Scientific Sherlock Holmes by James O'Brien, a book purporting to analyze the canon for accuracy to the scientific method. Does it succeed? Well.... it's complicated. There's a reason this episode is two hours. And yes, ACAB includes cop dogs. Contact the pod!

Look I'm not gonna sugarcoat this one, it's a very bad and poorly made show that slides off your mind like water.

Welcome back! In this episode of Sherlock Says, your intrepid hosts Rachael and Ansel are joined by Eric Cohen of the Phoenix Theater in Minneapolis! They're reading The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet, Doyle's answer to the question "can one build a short piece of mystery fiction entirely out of asspulls?" Also they managed to rope poor Hugh Jackman into this. If you know what this fucking crown is made of please write in, we're so confused.

It's a Christmas present from the Furry Godfathers! This week, Ansel and Rachael are celebrating the season with The Great Mouse Detective! Lots here to discuss as well: twink mice, gay rats, burlesque in a childrens' film, and an overall confusion about what animals deserve sentience. Play along at home to see how many times they mix up the main characters' names, because the editor sure won't be doing it for you! We would also like to apologize for shots fired at Taylor Swift fans, your God-Empress is powerful and we fear her vengeance. Contact the pod!

Welcome back to Sherlock Says! This week, Rachael and Ansel are joined by friend/roommate of the pod Shane to discuss The Resident Patient, a Holmes story that is consistently included in best-of compilations for reasons your hosts cannot comprehend.

In this week's Sherlock Says, Ansel and Rachael are joined by Sonja to discuss The Gloria Scott, or, Holmes' longform answer to Watson asking "have you ever dated anyone before me." And, because this is the podcast that it is, your hosts take a break in the middle to review a series about lesbian necromancers in space and talk about Anne Rice to the point that the Spongebob meme had to be deployed. Listen to Sonja's podcast! Editor's Note: This one was recorded away from the usual space and only on one mic so there's background noise, audio levels, and assorted sound stuff that I can't do anything about, sorry!

Welcome back to Ghoulock Slays- okay no that's not gonna work, nevermind forget I tried. It's Sherlock Says with Ansel and Rachael! In this spooooooky Halloween special, your hosts read A Study in Emerald, a Sherlock Holmes short story nested in a Lovcraftian style cosmic horror world, penned by the inimitable master of both horror and hiding in falafels, Neil Gaiman. Thrill in fear as the narrative twists like a worm on a hook! Scream in terror at discussions of how actually uninteresting the works of H.P. Lovecraft are compared to people that carried on that genre! Wet yourself in the corner at the horrifying visage of what role Holmes fills in any given universe! But also keep listening to the podcast while you're in the corner, we need you here. Contact the pod!

In this week's Sherlock Says, OH NO RACISM! We're back in the Marvel Milieu Mines to dig out another helping of the Guy Ritchie film series Sherlock Holmes - this time, the 2011 film, A Game of Shadows. And........ uh oh, guys. Discussions abound about the relative lumpiness of beloved actor and Chernobyl star Jared Harris, Guy Ritchie's persistent and weird and utterly incorrect belief that he knows what the Roma are all about, and why exactly the hosts of this podcast found this film in a $3 bargain bin coincidentally just as they were preparing to record. It's like some twisted form of kismet! We're also leveling our cannons at the (checks notes) RWBY fandom, apparently!

Another dollop of Brett awaits our hosts Ansel and Rachael as they finish up discussing season 1 of the Granada TV adaptation of Sherlock Holmes. Find within; professional Best Girl Violet Hunter, adaptational misogyny from an extremely divorced writer, and a lovely series of picnics that are only slightly marred by the bit at the end where Sherlock Holmes Fucking Dies.

Rachael and Ansel are back in the Idea Mines for another episode of Sherlock Says Book Club. This time, they finish reading Brian McCusky's How Sherlock Pulled the Trick and grapple with society's oldest question: why didn't Sherlock Holmes stop 9/11? Contact the pod!

In this episode of the Sherlock Says Book Club, Rachael and Ansel continue to read Brian McCusky's How Sherlock Pulled the Trick and have some notes for the author. Look out for discussions of cult deprogramming strategy, how the popular perception of Holmes is fueled by patriarchy, and (because this is the podcast it is) how this all ties into fandom. Wow that sure is a tumblr-ass list of topics, isn't it. In this game of analyst vs. analyst, who will win? The hosts that are responding to the book, or the author who isn't present to defend himself? Check it out! Contact the pod!

Hold onto your socks, lads, we're getting all intellectual. On this episode, Rachael and Ansel read the first part of How Sherlock Pulled the Trick by Brian McCuskey. The book is - among other things - an examination of how Doyle's spiritualist and pseudoscientific beliefs, far from being separate from Sherlock Holmes, are inextricably tied to him. Join us for a rollicking discussion of Doyle's Spiritualist Stank™, late Victorian religious turmoil, and the Mean Girls of the early evolutionary theory debate scene. Contact the pod!

On today's episode, your intrepid hosts visit the long-ago times to watch a Basil Rathbone Holmes film, Dressed to Kill. Why does it have a Bond title?
