A fresh pop-culture angle on Sherlock Holmes. We start with the original stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle but push on to include everyone from Rathbone to Cumberbatch as we ask ridiculous questions and often arrive at even more ridiculous answers. We're a couple of Sherlockians who are also fans of sci-fi, film noir, and pop-culture in general. Come join us for an often irreverent look at all..

It’s our first social distancing episode, recorded with Zoom so’s we don’t infect each other with the Tapanuli Fever. Is Percy Phelps worthy of the position he’s been given? Does Holmes believe in God? Geordie and Mike debate these and other burning questions. Quarantine has certainly made us no less prolix.

Whew! That’s a lotta grokking. Mike and Geordie hold forth on The Resident Patient. AND we edited out the parts that seemed to go long. Discussions of: The Who (in 2019), Nosferatu (1922), and Sir William Osler (1849-1919) are entirely optional, but you won’t know they’ve started until after it’s too late. You have been warned.
