Welcome back to Sherlock Says! This week, Rachael and Ansel are joined by Denzel Belin to discuss the 1970 film The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, a film in which Holmes plainly states he's gay for Watson. Sound too good to be true, shippers? Well... kinda yeah, but still, listen in for a fun romp. There's a Loch Ness Monster in it, okay? Editor's Note: the audio for this one is messy, they didn't have access to the usual recording space so we had to make do with what we had! Sorry. C...

Welcome back from a longer break than we, Sherlock Says, anticipated! Your hosts Ansel and Rachael return with a vengeance to play the Frogwares video game Sherlock Holmes: Year One, a video game mostly notable for an unnecessary open world, a dumb ghost companion, and the time you dress up a balloon as a sexy lady elephant in order to lure a different elephant into his execution by hanging. At least that's what I'll remember. Support the Twin Cities as we fight on the front line in the war a...
Look out, Sherlock Says is going back to the Holmes at 3 AM for more Hound. This time, it's the Granada version with Our Boy Jeremy.

Hold your horses on those cocaine-bottles, folks, it's time for Sherlock Says! This week, your hosts Ansel and Rachael are joined by friend of the pod John Bode to discuss The Seven-Per-Cent Solution by Nicholas Meyer! It's the book brave enough to ask the big questions, like "what if the Final Problem was actually written as a cover for Holmes going into addiction therapy with Sigmund Freud?" which is more a long question than a big one, admittedly. It's a fun one though! Contact the pod! Li...

Listen, you batch of street ruffians hanging out on the stoop across from this podcast. I'm going to blackmail you into a job: listening to this week's Sherlock Says. Rachael and Ansel are here discussing The Irregulars, or, what it would be like if the creative teams behind Disney's Descendants and that one horrible TV adaptation of Discworld's City Watch series did a fusion dance then started failing to write Sherlock Holmes fanfic. Come see Rachael in The Neverland at the Twin Cities Horro...
Your podcast addiction has gotten out of hand, listeners. Sherlock Says is here to be your designated sober companion. Your hosts Rachael and Ansel are joined by local thespian Taelin Gore to discuss season 1 of the CBS mystery series Elementary, the first show brave enough to ask the question "What if Watson was Lucy Liu?"

Welcome back, Doctors. In this week's morbidity and mortality conference - I mean episode of Sherlock Says, Rachael and Ansel are completing their coverage of the (shockingly renewed) first season of CBS's Watson. And....... man, it's just House, it's just an objectively worse version of House, it's embarrassing how badly this wants to be House. Contact the pod!

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. Next episode will go into the summary and analysis. Contact the pod! Linktree at: https://linktr.ee/sher...
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.

This week on a slightly late (sorry!) Sherlock Says, your hosts Ansel and Rachael are joined by comic artist Kat Baumann to suffer through Sherlock Holmes vs Harry Houdini, a true titan in the world of nonsensical art and trite writing.

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.
