Sherlock Says

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to listen at the Altar of Deduction for the words our Lord Sherlock Says . Your usual deacons Ansel and Rachael are joined today by guest sub-deacon 13th grade Boris Smelov to discuss the Sherlock Holmes boardgame called Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective - The Baker Street Irregulars that our clergy found most uplifting. Lo, though we walk through the...

Well hello, you devious bastards. This week on Sherlock Says, Rachael and Ansel have tackled the CBS medical drama Watson , a show about What If when Holmes died, Watson... moved to Pittsburgh and started a genetics clinic? That's weird. But not as weird as who they got to voice Holmes. They had a lot to say (what else is new) so this is part 1 where they discuss the premise and characters. N...

In this week's Sherlock Says, your co-experts in residence had to tap out for a con, so your humble editor Ryan fulfilled the requirements of his Dark Pact and reviewed the godawful 2018 film Holmes and Watson "starring" Will Ferrel and John C Reilly.

We're having a Poedown today on Sherlock Says !

Good news! Between last episode of this show and now, the producers of Enola Holmes took our suggestions to heart and made a better movie, just for us! This week on Sherlock Says, Rachael and Ansel watched  Enola Holmes 2  and have fewer notes. Not none, but fewer. Contact the pod!

This week on Sherlock Says, your hosts Ansel and Rachael have watched the 2020 Warner Bros. film  Enola Holmes , and have some criticisms about it.

This week on Sherlock Says , Rachael and Ansel continue their grim death march through BBC Sherlock by covering the last episode of Season 2, The Reichenbach Fall , an episode of television famed much more for what its successors fail to do than for anything actually in it, because nobody on earth can remember what's in it. Well, except that one scene. Contact the pod! Linktree at: https://li...

Thank you all for joining us in our government-mandated 2010s Magneto Prison for another episode of Sherlock Says. Your hosts Ansel and Rachael are continuing their coverage of BBC Sherlock Series 2 with episode 2: The Hounds of Baskerville which, while stupid, is much less painful than the last one. It's also where the dumb Mind Palace bit comes from so be ready for that. Content Warning: Su...

My favorite part of Hound is when Henry says "It's Henrin' Time" and Hens all over the place. Check out Whitney's stuff! Msstreeter.com Contact the pod! Linktree at: https://linktr.ee/sherlocksayspod?fbclid=PAAaalIOau9IFlX3ixKFo3lsvmq6U1pYn8m3cf7N6aOqkqUGCljCO0R00KZ3E 

Welcome back to Sherlock Says: Winter of the Wolf! On this week's episode, our doggone hosts Ansel and Rachael are joined by local actor and filmmaker Zach Sain.

It's so exciting to explore the narrative through the lens of...

This week on Sherlock Says, your hosts Rachael and Ansel are joined by... oops, there was a scheduling misadventure and they're joined by nobody! So it's up to your fearless hosts to conquer the first Hound adaptation - the 1914 silent German film Der Hund von Baskerville - on their own! Much like Holmes is in this movie because Watson just doesn't come to the moor for some reason....

After a longer-than-intended winter break (the plague, etc.) your favorite hosts Rachael and Ansel are back for another Hound adaptation on this week's Sherlock Says !

Lawrence of Arabia? More like..... uh.... Bore-ance..... of...... um...... A-lame-bia? Never mind! On this week's Sherlock Says , your long-suffering hosts Rachael and Ansel are joined by special guest Rob Ward to watch 1983's Sherlock Holmes and the Baskerville Curse , an allegedly animated version of Hound that has so little going for it that even before cuts the raw audio for this epi...

On this episode, Rachael and Ansel are joined by returning guest Brian Watson Jones to cover the 1983 Hound of the Baskervilles TV Film and pit it against the Hammer Horror 1959 version.

The Winter of the Wolf is upon us here at Sherlock Says, and your hosts Rachael and Ansel are truly feeling the chill! In this double-Decker of an episode, your hosts finish reading the Hound of the Baskervilles and prepare to move on to its various and sundry adaptations. But First, Rachael has some intriguing conclusions to share about the end of this novel. Was Sherlock Holmes wrong? Is the vil...

Terror abounds on this episode of Sherlock Says as your hosts Ansel and Rachael continue to read The Hound of the Baskervilles and remember that Doyle wrote pretty well when he could be bothered to! From his eerie narration about late-night stakeouts to his overly-complementarily spooky description of the weirdest bird you've ever heard, these five chapters do a lot of the heavy lifting for t...
