The Final Problem Part 2 (Still not so final)
We pick up where Part 1 left off. Now we dive into pastiches and adaptations (and you all know what a difficult time Mike and Geordie have coming up with anything to say about film and TV!) More great stuff from our guests Peggy Perdue and Matt Burke. With a musical finale!

Footnote 21: Sherlock Noir – The Big Scandal
Mike presents his awesome “Sherlock Noir” pastiche to the Bootmakers of Toronto at their Feb. 24, 2018 meeting. Hear Holmes as you’ve never heard him before in this wonderful re-imagining complete with stoic self-sacrifice and peppery jive. Play it again, Sarasate.

Ep. 25 – The Naval Treaty
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.

Consider yourselves lucky we didn’t […]

Ep. 23 – The Resident Patient
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 […]
