Sign me up for the MasterClass where Miss Fisher teaches astrolabe reading! And, perhaps camels? While we’re not sure who’s giving those camels rubdowns after the sacking of the cameleer, we have no complaints about the movie physics that result in Phryne launching out of quicksand onto Jack’s shirtless chest. Plus, of course, a somewhat … Continue reading "Bonus: Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears (Part 2)"

At long last, we tackle THE MISS FISHER MOVIE. In true Every Lady Needs a Hobby fashion, this episode includes a scene-by-scene recap of the first half of the movie, with exactly the right amount of digression into hastily Googled facts, tangential personal anecdotes, and discussion of how plausible Phryne’s madcap adventures are (not very, … Continue reading "Bonus: Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears (Part 1)(!)"

We’ve come at last to the FINAL EPISODE. And while that kiss does wait until literally the last minute, some might argue (Genevieve) that that’s exactly perfect for a show with a permanent, sizzling undertone of unending sexual tension, some (MacKenzie) point out that they could have kissed HUNDREDS of times before the event finally … Continue reading "S3E8: Death Do Us Part"

At long last, we’ve come to The Spider Episode. Not only does this episode feature a 10/10 murder method, it features A Very Healthy Amount of sexual tension. We’re left wondering: is Stanley Burrows an old friend of Aunt Prudence’s or an Old Friend? Plus, did tennis stars in the 1920s travel with a personal … Continue reading "S3E7: Game, Set & Murder"

If you thought Phryne being able to speak Polish was the skill of the week on this one, you’d be wrong! While we think there should be altogether more ghosts in this episode, there’s just exactly the right amount of Aunt Prudence at her irate best. You know when an elderly relative dishes on your … Continue reading "S3E6: Death at the Grand"

What’s more ludicrous than a marinara boot print? Allowing yourself to be seduced by an Italian restaurateur without getting a meal out of it first. We learn that Phryne listens to Joni Mitchell and Concetta listens to Cher (obviously), and make apology for many Italian accent impersonations, food innuendos, and a couple non-Miss Fisher related … Continue reading "S3E3: Murder & Mozzarella"

We’re joined by guest host Dan for this episode to get a manly perspective on Miss Fisher. He thinks that Miss Fisher should track down the real killer: the tobacco industry (or, is it actually someone we’ve never suspected but has been right in front of us the whole time?). And, Bert has a love … Continue reading "S3E2: Murder and the Maiden"
