What is Mystery Maniacs?
Mystery Maniacs Podcast is a comedy recap podcast dedicated to British Mystery Television. Formerly, Midsomer Maniacs podcast.
Hey, maniacs.
Hey, maniacs.
It's a remix.
We we see what we're doing.
You really went for it?
I did. I did.
Episode 186 is a remix of Father Brown.
Season number one, Episode five
The Eye of Apollo or our episode Name?
Oh Zuzanna. Won't you Join my Cult?
Oh, Susanna. Won't you join my. Call?
But we got some the bridge list
to deal with before this.
Before this happens,
the biggest news of the week,
of course, New Midsummer.
Season 24 is upon. Us.
Episode
one drops on ACORN TV December 4th.
The Devil's Work.
The demise of the Shire.
Well, Patriarch sparks
a vicious inheritance dispute
when eldest son Lucien,
what a great name announces
plans to break up an estate
that has been in his family for centuries.
Oh, he's not going to.
Lucien Shire. Well, yeah.
Oh, they're.
Going old school with the good name. Yep.
I hope it's all creepy.
And so our plan is this.
We drop the second
remix on the 4th of December.
So that's the day of the new midsummer's.
Mm hmm.
Later that week,
we will have a mini for you.
I'm not sure when mini episode OC.
Is a couple of days
from when its release. Yeah.
On the Devil's Work.
So that Mini will be something
you listen to before you watch it.
So you can watch like a maniac.
And it won't have any spoilers and it.
Won't have any spoilers. But it will.
It will be more fun to watch it.
If you listen to the mini first,
I know it's hard to wait a couple of days.
We'll put out the Mini
as quickly as we can.
Or you can watch it again.
Yeah. Like that's
what we're going to do now. Yeah.
And then the
month of December and January,
we will have the schedule out for you
when we release that mini
and tell you what that schedule is.
Yes, we'll make a mini
for all of the new episodes of season 24.
Yeah.
And then when that's all done,
we will come back
and do full episodes
on those new episodes.
And then return to Father. Brown.
Yeah, so that's a rough schedule anyway.
So not doing Christmas Song.
No, you're.
Getting minis and maxi episodes.
We're going to be doing twice
as many episodes in December.
That's probably enough for us.
Malik What's
we lost?
Joss? Oh, Mr.
Toad. And Mr. Toad.
Dixon's run? Yes.
Hatred and vixens.
Right.
Season
nine Episode three A fantastic episode.
When do you remember the first time
you saw him or heard him?
Oh, I don't know. He's.
He was in so many things.
So many things. Has to be for me.
Three Musketeers.
He plays one of the dads
and Three Musketeers.
Yeah, the Michael York
Three Musketeers with Oliver Reed in it.
And Raquel Welch.
Really, if you understand
anything about me, that is my child.
And that movie is so fantastic as a Spike
Milligan, as one of as the homeowner
and one of the scenes.
I don't know what role I first saw him
in, but my two favorite roles
that Joss Ackland played were Freddy
and Vixens Run.
He's just when he's eaten that roast.
Yeah, he's just so good.
He throws on purpose
and he played mushroom ridden.
Kelly was the arch chancellor
of the Unseen University and Hog Father,
which is a Terry Pratchett
book made into a made for TV movie.
And he was perfect as red color.
If you're a Pratchett fan. Absolutely.
Many people forget that
he was the black rabbit in Watership Down.
If you watch that movie again, you're
like, Whoa, these rabbits are depressing.
And while Black Rabbit is really.
Depressing, yeah, So.
And he's also in the Mighty Ducks.
He was in a. Lot of.
Yes, he was a busy boy.
95. What a life.
Yeah. What absence.
And cried a. Fantastic life.
Go watch it, Joss Ackland movie
or watch Dickson's around again.
Speaking of movies, we watched.
We watched A Haunting in Venice this week.
Yes, the new Kenneth
Branagh Agatha Christie adaptation.
Of Halloween Party.
Which liberal.
It's loosely based.
Yes. On a Halloween party.
It's unfortunate that. We're not.
Going to spoil it for you.
This takes place in 1947.
In Venice. 1947, Venice.
And I kept asking,
Sarah, weren't these people fascist?
18 months ago?
It's just recovering
fascist in the background.
What were we thinking?
What were we thinking?
A mini review for us
was I really like the first 45 minutes.
I thought it was atmospheric and
had some great magic lantern things in it.
And then it takes
a turn that I did not like.
I'm just going to say,
if you like the other Kenneth
Branagh prose, you'll like this one.
Oh, I think so, yes.
But don't watch it.
Comparing it to anything Agatha
Christie ever wrote. No.
If you do that, you'll be dissatisfied.
No, but if you just go into it blind
and just say this guy just happens
to be called Poirot, and he has a mustache
and said, everything else aside,
you can sort of enjoy. It's beautiful.
Oh, it's gorgeous.
I give it a ten out of ten.
Yeah.
For the set, the lighting, the camerawork.
It's. Well, it's outrageous.
It looks like
it's actually filmed in Venice.
Unlike Murder on the Nile.
That was a bit CGI.
Yeah.
Plot wise,
I give it like three out of ten.
It takes a turn that we both didn't like.
We're not going to spoil it for you.
But the other thing we did
while we were watching that was
I was on the Graham,
the Instagram on the broadcast channel,
and I was live tweeting, well,
live messaging as we watch that.
Yeah. Yeah.
And which we didn't announce
we were going to do or anything.
You just thought you give it a shot.
Just give me some. Fun with. It.
And then we asked people
if they would like us to do this more
and how they would like us to do it.
And overwhelmingly
people would like us to do it more,
but we should announce
what we're going to do.
And everybody could do it together.
Everyone can do it together.
And what we'll do is post
when we're going to do it.
Mm hmm.
And what channels you can find, what
we're doing it on.
Yeah. Now.
So we're talking about
a live viewing party of some mystery show.
Yeah.
Where everybody can watch it together
and comment and see what everybody else
is talking about.
Like a big chat room
alongside a viewing party.
We don't know what technology is
going to work best for everybody to do it,
but enough people said they want us to do
it, that we think that it's a good idea.
And so we're investigating.
Yeah, if you listen to another podcast
that does viewing parties
and you like how they do it, let us know.
Yes, definitely
listen to a couple that do it
and they always do it on discord,
but we don't really use discord with.
Our yeah, with our. Community.
I just find discord kind of loud.
And yeah.
It's very. Discombobulating. Yes.
But if that's the right place to do it,
if that's what people tell
us, we'll give it a shot.
Otherwise, we're so we're looking around
to see what platform would be best.
And if you have a recommendation,
let us know.
Otherwise,
we're going to keep investigating
and maybe try to do this
before the end of the year.
So we're not going to do the bits,
the new bits.
No, no, no, no.
It'll be something that.
Everybody. Has
that is older, that is easily accessible,
that it's available to everybody.
So this episode is number
five of season one, the Eye of Apollo
and I.
I watched the episode again this week
and we listen to the hour episode
and we we drop the ball on something
we did.
We dropped the box on something.
What At the beginning,
there's a box that they're loading into
the the mansion, right?
So it starts with
the cult is moving right.
And they're moving into this big country
mansion.
State. Estate. Yes.
And there's a big crate
that they bring off of a truck.
They never say what's in the crate.
And then we kind of mention it,
but we don't say what's in the crate.
I think I think I think I know.
What What do you think is in the crate?
It's all the cult robes.
It's a big box, though, isn't it?
Like 4x4, four feet by four feet.
It's really heavy, too.
It takes a couple of guys to move it.
Oh, I know what it is. What is it?
I think I know exactly what it is.
Okay.
What is it, Sarah?
I think it's their monthly cult crate.
Oh, your monthly delivery of all your cult
needs.
You know, you get barkbox and snack crate.
Oh, okay. All those things. This is.
This is Cult Crate.
So it makes sense that it's big.
What would come in Cult crate?
All of your cult needs.
Like what.
Art supplies.
They do to a lot of people.
Is they. Got to have art supplies.
Come on everybody is a. Painter
Sign painters.
Signed, probably stencils for circles,
I would think.
Third front.
So for the suns.
Yeah.
Robes, like you mentioned, you know,
you'd need a monthly shipment of robes.
They get dirty, they get stabbed or.
Whatever, you know.
Thrown out a window,
brainwashing paraphernalia.
They probably need that. Yes.
Bad cello players. Oh, yes. That.
Oh yeah.
The cello player.
Yes. Open the box
and there's a bad cello player inside.
And then,
you know,
like when you get a monthly subscription
to something like that where you get
like a box of mystery things,
sometimes they put in like a bonus item.
So the bonus items in your cult crate
could be things like Kool-Aid and Oh.
Wow, you wait.
All right.
It's flavor.
It really, you know,
or it could be a lot of duct tape.
Oh, yeah. Yes.
Or a list of cult friendly attorneys.
I mean, there's all kinds of things
that your modern cult needs leader need.
So it's their monthly cold box.
Yeah. It's not quite the culprit.
We should subscribe to cult case.
We should never know.
They're not a sponsor of our show. No,
that's what I think is in the back.
Anyway, you have enough.
This is episode 138
Father Brown, Season one,
Episode 505 Apollo
oh Susanna Won't You Join My Cult?
Originally broadcast
on the September 19, 2022.
Stay tuned to
the end for some extra stuff.
Hey, maniacs.
Hey, maniacs. It's mystery maniacs.
Mystery Maniacs is a comedy recap podcast
dedicated to the British mystery TV.
Each week
we dig into an episode of a show,
including the murders,
the Mayhem, the loonies.
Oh, there's loonies here
and everything else we love.
This week.
We're covering Father Brown.
Season one Episode five The.
Eye of Apollo. I'm Mark.
I'm Sarah.
And if your kids can join
the sun worshiping cult,
they can listen to this podcast.
I don't think there are any kids
in this cult and see any little kids now.
There's still kids.
There's this show is much like
midsummer is decidedly without children.
Yeah, I mean, there are some episodes
of Father Brown with their kids,
but they're probably they're just as rare
as they are in midsummer.
Yeah. Father Brown episode two.
It's our. Second.
Yes. Sorry. Sorry.
This is our second episode.
It was shown on the 18th of January.
They showed all ten episodes
of Father Brown in three weeks. Wow.
When they first came out, it was.
Like a Father Brown blitz.
Father Brown blitz. Extravaganza of Brown.
Matt Carter and also this was like
the pilot written by Tashan Gunner.
Before we get into the episode,
let's talk briefly
about the original story
because it's really different
from the screenplay
that they wrote for this.
The story is very different,
and I think the difference is interesting.
Yes, in the story I didn't read the story,
but I know the original
74 version of the show.
It follows the story very closely.
Okay, I have read the story.
Father Brown and Flambeau.
Yes. Flambeau, the jewel thief.
Now, wait a minute.
Some people listening have not watched
any other Father Brown's than these two.
Okay, so, Flambeau is a former jewel thief
who becomes a P.I.
and is a friend of Father
Brown in the stories
and in the seventies version of the show.
Not in this version of the show, Flambeaux
a very different character who I love.
In this version in the 2013 show,
he is a rascal and he is on the run
all the time from the police.
He's an international.
Jewel thief of. Mystery and romance.
Yes, in the stories and in the 74 show
that life is passed for him.
Yeah.
So he takes an office in a high rise
building and a cop moves in
to the same building and two sisters
who run a secretarial office
in the same building.
One of them becomes entranced
with the cult, the eye of Apollo,
and the other one doesn't.
And the one who does ends up dying
by falling down an elevator shaft.
And the cult is really based
on staring at the sun.
Yeah.
So the whole idea of the original cult
is that if you are truly holy
and healed and whole and special, you can
stare into the sun with no ill effects.
That's it's like snake handling.
It's like a. Test.
That's why it's called the Eye of Apollo.
And why in this episode,
there's no mention of eyes at all.
Except it's called The Eye of a Yes. Yes.
It's just the Church of Apollo,
right? Yes.
It's an interesting difference
because I think the screenwriters
this time, they had to change a lot
because they've got to move it
into Camelford. Yes, right.
So it's got to be in a village
and they need somebody close
to the story
to be a potential victim of the cult. Yes.
So Suzy ends up falling into the cult
very for a very short period of time.
And it's just a it's a key difference.
And in the original, in the seventies
version, Kaylon, who leads
the cult, is a full blown charlatan.
He does not believe in the occult,
knows it's all a fib
the whole time he's thinking.
About this stuff.
At the end of it,
he stares in the sun long.
Enough that he falls off
and. He falls off a building.
I think it's just a little safety note.
Staring into the sun is never a good idea.
Okay. If there is an eclipse
where the special glasses.
All right.
Nobody is safe from that.
So that's a big difference.
We got that out of the way.
Yes, we're good.
We're good.
All right.
Let's talk about this episode.
Okay.
Could they have been more stereotypically
mysterious about a cult moving
into Camelford.
At the beginning?
It's a dark and stormy night.
Dark and stormy.
There's lightning, which there's people
in cloaks with hoods, there's fire and a.
Box, says Church. Of Apollo. Yes.
What's in the box?
What's in the. Pot?
At first I thought Kaylon was in the box.
That'd be pretty impressive.
There would be if they carried him
around like Dracula in a box like that.
But it's not.
It's just their stuff, I guess.
And Father Brown, like Midsummer
or just is the whole
the whole idea is
it will flirt with the idea
that Supernatural exists,
but then place you clearly in rationality.
At the end of the episode.
If Kaylon had been a vampire,
it would've been shown
that he wasn't actually a vampire.
He just thought he was.
He was wrong.
Yes, He's faking it. Poor Susie.
She's a refugee.
She has to deal with Mrs.
M all the time,
and her hut catches on fire.
Lost her parents.
She lost her parents,
and then she almost lost their photos.
Yeah. What
knocks over the lamp in her hut?
The wind kaylon
the wind of Kayla.
He didn't just whisk into town,
you know, in the dead of night
and move into a country estate.
So maybe he has Dracula
like powers elsewhere in the village,
things are knocking over.
Don't fall asleep with a
with a lantern lit.
Next. You're mad.
That's a good rule of thumb.
Open fire or fire of any type and sleep.
Don't go together. Don't do that.
You are chosen.
Are you lonely D or laughs?
They moved into town the night before,
under the cover of darkness.
Everybody already has the painful.
When did they go around putting out
the pamphlets in the middle of the night?
I love Mrs.
straightness.
She has these little outbursts.
Of, like, super dark stuff.
Like what's wrong with you,
old woman? Well.
It's like daylight till, like,
Satan is moving into a country, a state.
Your charge.
She's so mean.
Look, little lady, I'm doing it.
Clean it up. Shut up.
One of the great things in life
is when people say they're fine
and they're not actually fine
and everybody knows they're not fine,
but it's sometimes hard to do in shows
and they do a great job of it here.
Yeah, because if you're an actor
acting like you're fine, acting
like you're not fine,
it's like double acting.
Yeah.
It's like actors who are good
at playing a character who's a bad liar.
Yeah. You know, it's tough. It's tough.
This is our first dealing with Sid said.
Yes, I love said.
So much Sid Carter,
who if you've only watched the episodes
that we're talking about,
you've missed kind of Sid's introduction
in a previous episode.
But he is a man about town, he's
a young man, he's very independent.
I think he lives in a little trailer on a
in a farm field.
He doesn't have a whole lot of back story,
but he knows a little bit
about everything.
He is Lady Felicia's driver.
In many of the episodes, she puts on a
chauffeur's uniform and drives her around.
He is an unreliable, reliable person.
But he's the guy with lots of jobs.
He's all job. He's entrepreneurial. Yes.
Today he's going around fixing people's
electrics because of the storm surge and.
Karen's. Influence on the electrical grid.
A jack of all trades.
Oh, he's
always scheming for a buck
or free pint or.
Yeah.
There's many episodes where he convinces
Father Brown
to go down to the pub and have. A pint.
And not a young lady goes by that
he doesn't have a look at.
But they look at him too.
Oh yeah. I like him so much. He's so fun.
But he's also he's a loyal person.
He's a good person. Yeah.
You know,
like if he found a $5 bill on the street,
he would look for who owns it,
but not very hard.
Well, not to fast forward to the end,
but at the end he is like Father Brown.
Heroic. Yeah.
He's definitely doing the right thing.
So the the. Boy.
That's a lot of
canvases of the same thing.
My notes say.
I thought the Sun canvases were the result
of the most boring painting class ever
until I noticed that they were ever
so slightly different from one
another and accompanied by the worst
cello painting playing ever.
Okay.
That woman was introduced
to the cello today. Yes.
Just dragged the bow across it real slow.
And don't fret anything.
And then go the other way. Real slow.
Which is hard to do.
Okay.
Playing
a boat instrument is a difficult thing.
All right?
But 10 minutes of it,
you can usually make some sound.
But she actively doesn't touch the frets.
But I think they said to her,
this is a really expensive cello,
you know, break it.
I just kept thinking, what a hassle
to wear an ankle length dress
and have to get your legs around a cello.
Yeah,
can't be easy, but the pictures.
They're identical.
Except the sun is a little bit.
Up, a little bit up in the sky like. That.
That's all they're there for.
Like, if you've never seen the sun rise,
this is what it looks like.
But maybe later
they put them in a different order.
And it's gone down.
What if they were completely random or.
Jumping up and down?
Jumpy. Thud.
What is this thing anyway?
Is this a
a recruitment drive thing here going on?
I think it's a combination
recruitment drive.
And we are here in your village.
Let us introduce ourselves to you.
Before too
many rumors are about about who we are.
Okay.
Which is smart. Headed off at the pass.
You know, make sure everybody knows
you're not like gun toting loonies. Yes.
Living in the
the Lord's estate down the road.
And we want to.
Okay, let's just say this off the top.
If you're gun toting loony,
we're not making fun of you.
Yes, we are. Okay, We are.
But I'm not worried about offending.
Gun toting loonies.
Just don't come to my house.
I don't care if.
You're a member of the Church of Apollo.
We're here to help you.
If you're a member of the Church
of the candy.
A candy corn megaphone. Yeah.
We can help you get. Out of it.
So that symbol is a candy corn megaphone.
I don't care what anybody says.
That's
what it is. We're going to get there.
But it's everywhere.
It's on the little fliers.
It's on all their robes.
Yeah, like.
Where can we put the candy corn megaphone?
We're going to put it there.
Okay.
All the time that this is happening,
I'm looking at where they are.
It's a beautiful state. Yes.
So it's the Sudeley castles and gardens
in the Cotswolds.
Oh, okay.
A couple of things of interest here.
They do archeological digs as tours.
Oh, they're just fun. Fun?
You could go be a time team person.
And they're not like, pretending to bury
stuff and let you find. It.
Do you remember those toys kids.
Used to get as kids?
That was like a block of sand
with a plastic fossil in the middle.
It made such a big mess.
Look, I'm a paleontologist now.
You're making a. Mess.
But what I want to go to is they
have these animals
that are hedgerows, hedges.
Topiary.
Kind of. It's hard to tell what they are.
Well, they're bushes.
Yeah. Shaped like animals.
Yeah, that's topiary.
You have, like,
rhinoceroses and giant hedgehogs.
And that's incredible.
The super cool looking that's.
So difficult. To see.
I'll post some pictures.
That's shows such a level of dedication.
Well, and there's a really beautiful
like it's not
I don't know if it's a hedge maze
because it's only about knee high.
It may just be a really ornate like,
like not work
hedge,
but it's beautiful by the waterfall.
They have all these incredibly
gorgeous animal sculptures.
So we're we're not supposed to believe
that Dominique,
the lady of the couple, owns
this place, right?
Like they're renting it their lives there.
But it's her money that's paying for it.
But what I noticed.
Where were they
before they moved in there?
Somewhere with those other two ladies.
Okay.
The other thing I noticed is
there are ruins here.
So whenever I see a ruined church
in England, I'm thinking dissolution.
Yeah, Henry,
the apes did that. It's his fault.
So there is some.
There is royalty attached to this place
in that there's
especially Richard the third.
There's references to him here.
But I thought it was interesting
that there was a Catholic
at a cult activity
in a disillusioned church.
They were trying to do something there.
I don't think you could be a Catholic
in England and not occasionally end up
someplace where it was
where a monastery was dissolved.
What's what's the past
tense of dissolution?
This was a disaster
where it was destroyed.
By Henry the Age.
Also,
the thing I don't like about this cult
both here and in in the original.
In the original is my British
cults are coming to flavors.
They come in the the crazy Satanist
big parties in the mansion cult.
Mm hmm.
Okay. Like, what's his name? Bald guy?
Aleister Crowley.
Like, that's one type of cult.
The second type of cult is
the people who put you in wicker.
Man, You're. The pagan aliens.
Yeah, those are.
Those are the British.
Not not just pagans, not regular pagans.
Not regular.
Pagan talking about They're not real.
If you're a regular pagan.
That's fine. That's fine is now over.
But if you put people in wicker, man,
and burn them, that's not.
That's not fine. That's bad.
But that means. Don't.
That's English cults to me. Yeah.
And this is a bit of an American cult.
You think so?
Yeah, It's a bit of a Western cult to me.
Hmm. Well, where do you think England is?
Well,
I know what you mean.
Yeah, it's.
Got more of an American flavor to it
because it's so lame.
Like, it's based on this.
This concept that just doesn't make
a whole lot of sense.
Yeah. Killen's robes are much nicer.
Did you notice how much nicer they are
than.
They are robes
that would be made for a cardinal?
Yeah, they're superb.
That's what they are.
And then they've embroidered their candy
corn megaphone on them.
And he explains his story.
And then he does some great cold
reading on Susie,
which includes Do you feel the warmth
of your parents sitting here in the sun?
Yeah. Like, clearly.
What would they do
if they were holding an event like this
and it was totally overcast? Yeah.
Do they have like a lamp that they call
the sun that they just wheel out
or pretend
the sun is out and you're looking at it?
But I am different than your religion.
I have proof. No, you don't know me.
No. You have proof that in 93
million miles,
the sun's heat doesn't dissipate.
That's the proof that you have.
Yeah.
Kalan had this vision when he was shot
in the head by a sniper during the war.
Right. And he should have died.
If a bullet goes through your head
and one side and al Qaeda died,
you should have died.
But on a rare occasion, people do get
that kind of injury and not die.
There was a dude who got like a piece
of metal rebar through his head and lived.
Yeah, there's a whole bunch.
He was wackadoo.
There's a afterwards special. Ed hall.
Line and scientific
inquiry, which is, Oh, you had something
really bad happen to your head.
Can we test you now? And you lived.
Let's figure you out. You got shot.
And then afterwards
he says he got a vision.
Yeah, right.
And the ancients.
I don't know who the ancients are.
They're the old ones.
Oh, do they live in the sun? Yeah,
I guess.
They like hot stuff.
I guess they should have chili peppers,
as they're saying, man.
Or a sun.
I don't know.
Why not a sun.
In the in the original show, it.
It is the sun. That symbol is.
It's not the candy corn maggots.
No, but that's that's
when he had his big revelation and
and started the church.
At this point,
if this is 53, then we can assume that
it's been about ten years.
But he spent maybe a year or so
in recovery.
Maybe.
And so then he started he's.
Got his cold reading really done well.
And he what Father Brown calls
Branham statements.
He talks about vague air, vague springs.
Everybody has the. Mystery of. Parents.
She's clearly a refugee.
She's got an accent.
So and she's sentimental about her parents
because what they used to call her.
You feel like you're missing
your old home.
Yeah, Like, who wouldn't.
Like, that's why you asked her name.
Yeah, Zuzana.
Zuzana. Oh, Zuzana, Don't. You cry for me.
Father Brown has him all figured out.
So let's talk about Dominique.
Yes. She of the cello.
She's my astral partner.
Am I your astronaut Partner?
No, you're my wife.
I'm not your partner in the sun.
No, you're my wife.
They have a symbiosis of souls.
Which is so much more than wife.
I don't think they're actually married.
I don't think they're actually married
either.
And basically, it's we have a symbiosis
because she's got lots of money.
Yeah, And I want the money.
So we we have to separate here
because Keelan is a man who was injured,
has mental difficulties
because of that and has visions and starts
a religion that is one throughput.
Yeah, and I think he's sincere about that.
I think he really does think
that he had some kind of out-of-body,
enlightened experience.
At the same time,
he is a greedy Blatch. Yes.
Who likes to take pictures of girls. Yes.
In the same place.
He's just capturing their essence.
So I think that was flying in. No.
But Dominique
had her
husband and her sons die in the war.
Yeah.
So she's clearly a vulnerable woman
with a lot of resources.
And he took advantage of that.
Yes, he clearly did.
And has since taken advantage of some
other girls who have come into the cult.
And she knows, I.
Think for her,
I'm not looking for your money.
I'm looking for your daughters.
They greet the sun every morning. Yes.
So like yoga, they. Must have an almanac.
Maybe it's like a secret.
It's going to come up.
This would really suck. In the wintertime.
It's never the winter
time in the Cotswolds.
Have you ever heard the term
verbal satiation?
Sort of. Yeah.
When you, like, write the same word
over and over and over again and it stops.
Meaning anything to you.
That's how we greet the thing. Hits me.
The first time they say it, it's we greet
the like, Hello, son, We're greeting you.
We greet the.
But then every time they say it,
after that, it loses a bit more meaning.
And then it just becomes
we greedy, be greedy or greet.
You know, it's such a.
Strange thing to say over and over. Again.
And this is. Even easy to say.
And clearly it's kind of a reference
to yoga and. You.
Stenness of some of these cults
and things like that.
What was that Yoga's bad.
No, no, no.
Eastern religions are bad,
but they certainly take those.
They're taking inspiration
from those things.
So if you if you were going to have a cult
and part of
it was the sun,
and you had to wake up in the morning
and say hello to the sun,
what would your phrase be?
What would you have people chanting
as the sun came up, Get.
The hell out of bed.
Time to get up.
Time to get up. Time to get up.
Time to get.
Up. Sarah It's time to get up.
All of your followers and say,
Sarah, it's time to get out.
Yeah.
Oh, so you're going to form a cult
just to wake me up in the morning?
That's kind of cool, except I'm
one of those people in our room.
No, no. For for the new. Listener.
I am a morning person
who leaps out of bed.
Oh, yeah.
You're like, Hey, time, get up. Yeah.
Feet on the ground. Woo!
Sarah is not. I get there? Yep.
Pretty quickly.
I've turned you into a morning.
I love being up in the morning.
It just takes me a few minutes to
get there and you wake up and you're on.
Well, it's Sunday.
We slept in till 545.
We're not.
I get up earlier on the weekends
because I'm more excited to do the stuff
that I want to do versus the stuff
I got to do for work, though.
I have to tell you, 230 in the afternoon,
I'm a walrus on the couch.
You turn into a potato. Yeah.
Speaking of potatoes,
Father Brown's playing with his food.
I have in my note.
Is he building the Devil's Tower? Yes.
It's very much
a close Encounters of the Third kind.
Kind of.
He's drawing in his gravy.
It's breakfast, isn't it? Yes.
Why don't you.
Have gravy and veg for breakfast?
I don't know.
But Mrs. M cooks all of.
Does she cook all of his meals?
She doesn't live there.
No, we know she doesn't live there.
But I'm sorry.
I'm not making something
with homemade gravy for one person.
That's a lot of work. Yeah.
Especially if he's going to play with it.
I, I love that.
Since as we. Get.
Suzy has gone to the cult right.
She's gone to check it out and said like,
we got to we got to go get her.
We got to sneak in, grab her and get out.
And Father Brown says there's a word
for that and said, goes, Brilliant.
Is this kidnaping?
And then they. Proceed. And then they say.
Well, they don't like throw
over their shoulders and carry her out.
They try to persuade her to leave.
Since just I love the two of them
going over the wall.
Yeah, I just I love that.
I love Father Brown sneaking around
because he knows
he has a bit of protection as a priest.
If he gets caught,
keep everybody in limbo for it's
going to go all That's just Father Brown.
That's just what he does.
Like if he was creeping around your house,
he might feel a little bit different.
But, you know, he's creeping around there.
A Valentine caught him doing that
and he'd be like, You get out of here,
Father Brown.
It will be finger wagging his finger.
Yeah, Like you naughty guy.
You, you know, better.
Angry painter is angry. At him.
Yes. Poor guy.
Burned arms. Did you recognize Adam?
He seemed familiar,
but I didn't know where I recognized him.
Well, you should have recognized him,
because the other role
that you've seen him in
his name is Ben Star, the actor.
The other role you should know him for
is in midsummer and The Sting of Death.
He plays Noah Moon.
Oh, that's. Right.
Who is another weird. Artsy guy.
Culty kind of thing? That's right.
That's the same actor.
He was also in that movie Eat Local.
Do you remember that?
Yes. With the vampires.
There's vampires in a small town
in England.
Yeah. And, well, it's got Mackenzie
Crook in it.
It's got Annette Crosby in it.
It's got Tony
Curran in it. It's got Dexter Fletcher.
And I mean everybody, it's in the movie.
It's really good if you haven't seen it.
Yeah, eat. Local. It's a fun, weird movie.
Yeah, they do. A lot. Of the vampires
are the good. Guys.
They do a lot of worldbuilding That
doesn't pay off in the end, but it's fun.
That is fun. It's brain. Candy.
It's a movie that should have a sequel
but doesn't.
Yeah.
And he's he's been injured in the war.
Adam has and he is
he thinks that the is going to heal.
Him and he's frustrated with Kaylon
because he sees Kanan stepping out
and he's in love with Dominic.
So he thinks that they should kind of
get rid of Kaylon, I think.
But I think he's also starting
to doubt the cult's power too.
I think they convinced him to join, saying
that the sun would heal his injuries
and he still has a limp.
He's still in pain.
It's not working.
So not only does he
does he think that Kaylan is a fraud
who mistreats Dominique,
but he thinks that the whole cult
is based on a fraud.
So then father makes reference
to those law things.
Yeah,
You know.
And then Dominique takes a bath
with Dutch angles.
So let's talk about her murder.
Yeah, because.
It's confusing to me.
Okay, So. Oh, okay.
Because I really like what happens here.
We haven't mentioned this,
but this is a spoiler podcast,
so if you've never listened before,
we're about to ruin it.
So if you haven't seen the episode
go watch it,
come back
or we're going to spoil it for you. Okay?
Okay. You've been warned. All right.
So in reality,
she gets whacked over the head, right?
With Kaitlyn's cane? Yeah.
Which has a metal ball in the end. Ball?
That would. That would hurt.
But that doesn't kill her.
So he dumpster out a window?
Yes. Okay. It's a second story window.
Yeah, That's the problem
I have with the murder.
I like the part
that he thinks he's killed her,
and then she wakes up
and he has to think fast.
I like that part that throwing out
a second floor window doesn't work.
No. And, you know,
because she's so far from being dead
that she can scream for help and stuff,
and it's up and on her feet.
Yeah.
So there's no reason to think
that a little bit more damage
is going to kill her.
And pushing her out the window from that
height on to pee gravel,
which is kind of soft to land on.
That being said. That makes you.
Wouldn't
want any of this to happen. No, no.
But I just don't think it would kill her.
And I think she'd be laying on the ground
going, Kaylon did it.
Yeah, because she would know
exactly who hit her and who pushed her.
Yeah. Yeah, he should have.
He should have done something
that was way, way more a sure thing.
Yeah.
You know, whacked her on the head
a few more times.
Origin.
Been like three or four stories up.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I don't.
I don't think falling out
that high would kill you in my area.
Yeah, but I don't think it would kill you.
But we don't know any of that yet.
All we know is there's Dutch angles
and Dominique is screaming,
and yet Kaylen is outside the door.
This is the locked room mystery.
And once you know how he does it, it's
so clear that he's doing it.
Yes, he's a very good actor.
His name is Michael Maloney.
Yeah, he's fantastic.
He's been in to Midsummer's.
He when he was in the lines,
of course, in master class.
Both remember master class.
He was the overbearing dad.
Yes, but he
he does that double fake, right?
He's an actor pretending to be a character
who's pretending to lie.
And yet,
you know, he does. And he goes through.
And if you're.
If you're watching him closely,
you can tell he's faking it at the door,
pretending that it's locked.
Yeah. He goes from rage to no rage.
Really? Well.
Oh, yeah. But he has those eyes.
He can open his eyes
like double wide and not blink.
And they maniacal.
So he
sends Father Brown away to get the key,
even though the door isn't.
Actually. Locked and pretends to be like.
Dominique opened the door. Open the door.
Another brown light goes
to the slowest key.
Glancing
to it, it's
it's a very good locked room method.
The kids are probably believable
and you see it happen.
So, you know, it could happen now.
And you knew she was alive?
Yeah. Yeah.
Now his office has to be a good distance
away, but because he needs the time.
I think he has to be super fast.
They moved in really quickly.
They set up everything.
I think it was already furnished.
I would hope so.
And They just moved the trunk of stuff in.
Oh. Okay.
There's a thing in Dominique
Dominique's room that I don't.
I don't know what it is. Yeah, it's weird.
It's at 4117.
You can see it.
You can see it in every shot of her room,
but you can specifically see it
in that shot.
So if you if you want to scrub through
and find this time stamp,
it's it's almost like a canopy.
So it's like a fabric
on like a wire frame at the top.
It looks sort of like an umbrella. Yes.
And then it's got like a curtain
that hangs down all the way around.
But it's in the corner of her room.
It's almost like a giant birdcage that's.
Covered that or it's like a
like a changing tent.
Like if you in Victorian era, if you went
to the beach and you were going to
they didn't even get naked and put
on their swimsuit, they already had it on.
They would get it.
They would cover up just to take
like their their shirt and skirt off
that was over their swimsuit
because it was indecent
to even take those off in front of people.
And so they would have
these little changing huts.
And it almost looks like that.
Yeah, it's very weird.
But I don't know why
you would have that in your room.
I don't understand.
So if you're listening to this
and you know anything about this or.
Have been to that, let.
Us know what you think it is. That is the.
And you post a picture of it.
Yeah. Okay. I'll post a picture of it.
So Suzy's going to be initiated.
Okay. Before that, I have a question.
All right.
Who gets to decide
whether you get last rites or not?
Because this woman is not a Catholic.
Yeah, but I think.
By the way, like the.
The seal of the confession, Last rites
is like every detective novel
writer's dream.
They're like,
How can we get a priest over here?
Oh, yeah.
How can he have an excuse to be right
next to the body, checking it out,
you know, And everybody kind of steps back
and leaves him to it.
My impression
is that a priest doesn't take the chance,
so it can't hurt you,
but it might help you to do the last one.
Okay.
If you don't believe
it's not going to do anything,
But if you do, it may mean that
you don't go to hell.
Maybe. And that's a big deal.
Yeah, if.
You believe in that. I. Guess, right?
Valentine shows up
and explains the situation as a riddle.
I like Valentine's.
Day. Does a bit easier for expert.
Yes. Yes.
Well, and he clearly is taking no shit
from these people,
you know, like he doesn't even pretend
to, like, respect what they believe.
And it's just like,
Yeah, yeah, charlatan. And whatever.
You know, the lady's dead.
So who did it? Right?
I also like the idea that Adam is painting
yet another picture of the sun.
So he's painting with oranges and reds.
And when he and Dominique tussle a
little bit because she tries to kiss them,
he gets paint on her.
So then when she's going to
to bathes, she's rinsing the paint off.
Yeah. And then there's blood.
So you don't know
whether it's paint or blood.
And they find the paint on her
and they know
it's from him, you know, And so he gets
he gets framed for it.
Did you know every time Caroline arrives,
there's a sound effect?
No. Yes. What is it?
It's like. He blew. It. Why?
He comes into the room
every single time he shows up.
It goes, Ooh.
I don't believe you.
Are you serious? Yeah. I'll play the set.
I miss it.
I'll play the sound right here.
And every time.
Almost every time he arrives.
And so he's not Caroline anymore.
Yeah, like, Well, he thinks he's powerful.
It happens,
but then it does it stop at some point.
He stops entering rooms now.
Yeah, that's true.
So let's talk about the initiation. Yes.
So Suzy gets to put on a curtain. Yes.
With some drawstrings in the armpits.
Yeah.
How does. That work? I guess
the estate has a chapel. Yes.
Which she's happy to use.
Even though they're not Christian
and they unveil a prism.
Yes. Which is like. Science.
So I'm just.
Thinking logistically,
they have to do this in a space
where the sun is going to hit that spot.
Right now, Christian churches, especially
older ones, all face the same direction.
Yeah, okay.
But the sun is not always in the exact
same spot and there may not be windows
to let it in at the right angle,
but this ritual relies on that.
Yeah.
Until I knew how big this estate was,
I was like, Isn't the church broken up?
Like, because you see the ruins.
But no. No,
they would have their own chapel.
There's lots of different things.
Yes, estate.
But that's in my notes.
It has. I baptize you with PRISM? Yes.
I just.
It's. Hmm.
It would be very difficult to time
that just right
and have just the right space to do it in.
But it has that quality of showmanship,
that good faith culture.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
But logistically it's really difficult.
Yeah.
I mean, if they're 5 minutes late,
the sun may be out of line and not hit it.
And then, then
somebody would have to be like, Here's a.
Flashlight inside it, in the bits.
And in my notes I have Suzy.
She'd say, one, she's baptized
that this is the end of Act two. But
to put
a point on it, it's the end of Act two.
So then we go to Valentine's
Room office again.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Sorry.
Where they look at Kaitlyn's record.
I trust you not to touch
anything on my desk while I step out.
Tap, tap, tap.
And this is
like I love set as Father Brown sidekick.
Yeah.
You know, like, because if there's
something that Father Brown
really can't do because of who he is
said, we'll do it.
And if there's something that said
or shouldn't do
because he would get in trouble,
Father Brown will do it.
And they'll show they're a great panel.
Act like each others.
Look out. Yes, absolutely.
Father Brown's digging through
filing cabinets that don't belong to them
and says on the lookout for him,
you know, like they're
they're just they're such a good team.
So they find the clipping about Kalan
being shot in the head
and his real name and everything.
And now I'm assuming Gerald is on the run
a bit here
because he has a file about him.
Why would they have a file like that
and Campbell for?
Yeah, that's
that's what I was going to ask
is that they might have his police record
because they may have requested it
from wherever they were
last in the meantime,
in, what, 24 hours or something?
This place in the very.
Beginning is a little fast. Here.
But why there would be a newspaper
clipping in it?
I don't know.
Yeah, it lead you to think that maybe
he's more on the run
than they're given credit for here.
But would they have. A physical file?
No, they wouldn't have a physical news
clipping like that.
No, at most they would have like
handwritten notes about it
that they jotted down on the phone
with somebody else.
Yeah. You'd get this information
from somebody else.
Like a telegram.
But that's not as fun
as having it in the files.
Yeah.
Father Brown can.
Look.
Yeah, So they can see him laying in bed
with the police and the doctor
and his stethoscope.
Yeah, And father Brown
has everything all figured out now,
and he finds the pictures.
But they break the rules.
They don't let us see the picture.
They don't want to see the clipping.
We don't know what he knows.
That bugs me,
but they showed us the clipping.
But we don't know that part.
But we know then that he's a total
charlatan.
Mm hmm.
And they show us the pictures of he's
taken of the girls.
Yes. The same pose in the same bed. Yes.
Just a weird date.
I don't buy that.
Susie wouldn't be put off by that.
Yeah, I would think that Susie would be
put off if.
They were photos of these girls
wearing, like,
very thin robes from the cult
standing in the sun.
And you could see through the robe
I might buy that as an artistic photo
that he also likes
because he can see their bodies.
Yeah, but they're lying in a bed
in their negligee and their slip.
Yeah, that's. I mean.
I don't like the scene
where she sees him taking pictures of.
Of Susie because it's
peeping Tom.
He doesn't need to be.
And he's taken a picture
of the back of her head.
Yeah.
Oh, I'm. Sure
there are people who are into that.
But he on wearing a camera around
his neck.
Is where.
It's sort of a giveaway, you know, like
hide it under your robes or something.
No, I'm just down here in the grass
taking a picture of the back of her head.
I love the back of a bench on.
So we find out that they went upstairs
and were arguing.
And then Kaylen kills her father.
Brown lays all of this out
and he is still incredulous.
He's like, Ah, you're here to arrest me.
I'm like, That's not how arresting works.
Now, do you do like
I know that your view on religion
is maybe alternative,
but Father Brown has no arresting story.
Kaitlyn's big weakness here is that
he didn't do his research.
They should have chose a town
where Father Brown didn't live.
Yeah, he doesn't know about him.
Yeah, and what he does.
If he had,
they would have gone somewhere else.
Yeah, they would have gone to Costin
or something. And we see that
that moment again where he
says, I don't care about you
being punished, I care about your soul.
He says, It's not my job to
to see to get justice for you, you know.
And this is what he said is great,
because Ced recognizes
that this is the end of the show
and recognizes this is Father Brown stage.
So he gets Susie to safety.
This is a classic battle
between black and white.
And Susie could get hurt.
Yeah, because it's going to be a showdown.
Yep. Classic versus classic. Yes.
I love, love, love.
The line where Father Brown is so good.
Mark Williams is so good.
He's curls his lips up
and kind of shows his teeth
and he gets a little spotty
when he gets really, really mad.
Yeah, He's like,
There are no. Astral spirits.
And Kaitlyn says, says
the man who believes in a virgin birth.
And Father Brown says, Oh,
you guys got me on that one.
Yeah, he's like, given.
But you're still bad.
I think he says fair.
Yeah, Yeah.
But the face, yeah, he doesn't do it
every episode.
But man,
when he does in that in the first one
when he's facing off against the Anglican
reverend at the top of the tower, you know
a few things piss him off like that.
But, but using God as an excuse or,
or belief as an excuse
or hiding behind God
in some way, that really makes him mad.
Killen's having a bad day here.
Well, so when when Father Brown confronts
him and says what you
what your symbol is, is the stethoscope,
what you saw was a bright light,
a result of a brain injury, or
it was a light being shown into your eyes.
You didn't have a revelation.
That didn't happen.
Do you think that kaylon slash
Gerald knows that?
Does he know that
this thing that he's built is based
on a misunderstanding
he had because of an injury?
Now, in the latest,
I think it's the latest season of Father
Brown Kaylon comes back.
Yes, they are the children of Kaylon.
I want to watch that episode again because
I want to find out if he's repentant.
He is.
I think he pretends to be,
but I'm not sure he actually is.
Yeah, but he definitely admits
that he didn't actually get a revelation.
But in this scene, when Father Brown
is confronting him, do you think he's
learning something from thinking,
Oh my God, you're right.
I think he has an epiphany of doubt.
Wow, that's the deepest thing
I've ever said.
But like, maybe it was kind of niggling
at him for a long time,
and now he's being confronted with it,
and he has to accept that that's the case.
Well, if Kaylon isn't anybody, is
he is a person who gets up
when he gets very upset.
When you point out the fall
season, his life.
Yeah.
So much so he kills his astral partner.
Yeah.
And they were in symbiosis
with one another.
You think that would have hurt him too?
I would think so.
So the the revelation and then the symbol.
The symbol is the stethoscope.
Yeah, right.
I don't buy. That.
I don't really look like that.
Yeah, it's a stylized stethoscope.
It's kindergarten megaphone.
So do you give them a hug here like that?
He holds. Him. Yeah.
That's the difference between Father Brown
and detectives and other shows.
That's what his priesthood does,
is that he does stuff like that.
Like,
Let me hold you because you're a human.
Oh, and you're in pain.
Oh, my God.
No father would be like you.
Disgust me and walk away. Like. Arrest him
for trying to leave the Orient Express.
I have to hug you all first. Yeah.
I pity you
because of what you've been through.
If you were.
If you had them based on what you saw
when you first woke up
like Kaitlyn does,
what would it be? It would.
Be the Church of the alarm. Clock.
My mom
probably be like the Church of the Cat.
But yeah.
Because Lucy,
our cat, really does like to show me her.
But the first. Thing I open my eyes.
It's going to get a cat
but is in your face.
If you. Walk away and I'm not awake.
She says, okay, I'm the second line.
And she goes up
and like bumps her face against mine
and then turns around
and is threatening to sit on my head.
And I open my eyes.
So my my call would be the cult
of the cat.
Parker something,
the asterisk.
And I don't want to know it, though
we agreed the version would be like
everybody holds a cat.
The smell, the
No, you have to you.
Have to list your spiritual
tale over and over.
Maybe this one's
better than what mine would be.
I love how Suzanne zuzanna you.
Oh, Zuzanna
here says I wanted to be alone.
And Father Brown goes, I joined you. Yeah.
I let you be alone for 30 seconds.
And then I followed you and sat down
next to you. Yep.
And once again, Mrs.
M, who's been a major pain in the ass,
she screams at Susie, You're so stupid.
Yeah.
Then she says,
How can she be here at this?
And does open day for the call.
Her chores cannot be done. Yeah, like.
She's totally so mean. She's just nasty.
She treat you like a second class citizen,
and then she's like, Here,
I made scones like her scones
fix everything.
Yeah, Composting.
Woman's making scones all the bloody time.
Father Brown needs to be,
like, £300 or something.
And then said it was awesome.
Word around the village is you stole.
The recipe. Recipe?
And then Susie brings it home. Yes.
Oh, yeah, I heard that too.
That she snatches and back file.
Did you see what so Mrs.
him and said go off.
Do you see what Father Brown and Susie
do while the camera backs up
and we see his umbrella
and his hat,
he breaks his scone in half and gives.
Her own shares with. Yeah, that's nice.
Yeah, that's who he is. A good person.
And that is the eye of Apollo,
which has no I, I neither does Apollo.
But I just.
Wonder the whole time,
like if you make up a religion like this,
if you invent a cult, how do you decide
what all the rituals are going to be,
what the outfits are going to look like,
what the rules are like?
You just make them up as you go along, or
do you decide all that stuff in advance?
Like, I don't I don't know.
It seems complicated.
Most cults tend to create be started
by a small nucleus based on one dude,
usually a dude's ideas so he can spread
those in indoctrinate that small nucleus.
Yeah. And then they. Kind of evolve.
And they evolve.
Just want to see the the book of rules
raised right and stuff out like,
okay, you got to stare at the sun
for 5 minutes now, cross that out
as long as you can take it
and cross it out.
If you can stare at the sun,
then your special.
Or like, you know, everything goes through
drafts like we eat the No.
We see these.
No, That make any sense. Yo, son.
No, that's not good.
We meet the. No, that doesn't.
Cap, but.
No, no, no.
And where does Apollo even come into it?
Like it's Apollo and.
Ancient,
I guess. Yeah, there's a lot more.
Explain it. Like Apollo is the sun gods.
That's a lot better explanation
in the original.
Well, and Kaylen is Greek, okay?
It means noble or. Beautiful. In Greek.
That makes sense.
So plus, it adds that great sign,
that sci fi ness to it,
which is, of course,
the opposite sci fi based.
A lot of the characters
on stuff like that.
Yeah. I've got a horrible movie for you.
Okay. Okay.
So if you. Want to hear it, what.
We should do after the credits first.
Oh, okay. Well, there's four people. Okay.
There's Kaylon. Yes.
Jael Dominique dead?
Yes. Sid stays on in own.
Yeah. And Adam, who goes to the hostile.
Goes the. Hostile.
That's it.
That's all there is. Adam's there.
He doesn't need to be there.
No, he's just another person
that Father Brown gets to be kind to.
Yeah.
And I think it would be even better
if the couple was all women.
Like, that would be too obvious now.
Maybe it'd be. Too.
Yeah.
No, Adam is only there to be wrongly
accused.
That's. That's his whole. Job.
He's a red. Herring.
Yeah. Okay.
Now, are you.
Bad movie for a.
Normal movie?
Yeah,
this movie is terrible.
I bet Mark seen it.
And Michael Maloney, the actor who plays
Kaylon, is in this film.
Okay.
It's from 1997 97. Okay.
The inmates of an asylum
are subjected to experiments
using collective consciousness
and surgically
implanted chips
in an attempt to create perfect citizens.
It is a sigh.
Okay.
Is this a movie set in the future? No.
Okay. No. Who's in this. Movie?
I'm not going to tell you that yet.
Okay. I'll give you another hint, though.
Okay.
I'll read you this bit from an IMDB review
that I thought was really great.
Okay, There are martial art fights,
seducing sexploitation, horror elements,
crazy zombies just walking around
and even modern dance theater scenes.
Wow, how am I not seen this movie?
The whole senseless mixture of weirdo
elements
cannot bring light into the darkness,
but only leave the watchers
confused about this very strange film
that nobody really needs to see.
97 if. Sure, I would have seen it.
I don't know.
Do you submit?
Do I get another hint or do I?
I'm only going to give you more hints
after you say you don't know what it is.
Okay.
I guess if I got to tell you actors.
I don't know.
Patrick McGoohan is in it.
Okay, and Amanda Plummer is in it.
And if you can't place Amanda Plummer
in your head
listeners, she was the screaming lady
in Pulp Fiction.
Yes, in the bank robbery.
Well, sorry, she was the screaming lady.
She's always the screaming lady.
She's also the sister.
And so I married Mass Murderer.
Where she screams a.
Lot and she's a crazy killer. Yeah, Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know what this movie is.
It's called hysteria. Hysteria?
Yeah. No, I don't know. This movie.
Yeah, I. Am really surprised.
Yeah, because.
Now you're going to.
Watch it.
One for me.
Yeah. Yeah. Definitely.
Put all the other actors in this episode
are a bit young to have made any bad
choices in movies when they were younger,
though, I will say I learned that
Alex Pryce, who plays said yes, though
he is ten years younger than me.
Our birthdays are only a day apart.
Oh, I like him.
And he was on the show
and then he was off the show.
And then he came back and he was asked
because he when did theater?
Well, he went to play Draco Malfoy in the
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
I think it's called Broadway show.
He can sing.
Wow. And he was also Proteus.
And Penny Dreadful.
Do you remember that?
He's basically Frankenstein's monster.
Yeah. And Penny Dreadful.
In Penny Dreadful.
Oh, he's so good in it.
But it just
it broke my heart. He's so sad.
He is very sad.
Why have I not seen hysteria? Yes.
Jesus, I need to watch this movie today.
So that,
dear listeners, is the eye of Apollo.
Our next Father Brown episode, our third
one, and this little group of episodes
is season one, Episode six,
The Bride of Christ, where we will see.
Sister. Bonuses for the first time.
For perhaps.
Because she was not in the train station.
I don't care what you say. That's not her.
We'll discuss that.
Okay.
To the.
Death? No. Yes.
Some other people have weighed in
and we will bring those things
up next week when we talk about it.
And there was one person online who's
just like, no, they're tired comments.
I agree with that person.
That person is correct.
It's not her. No.
Another thing that we'll do next week
besides a pit fight about Sister
Boniface in the train station, as we will
tell you, the watch list for October.
Yes, for Halloween spook.
Bye, maniacs. Bye maniacs.
You know, we have.
We're really funny people.
I laughed the whole time.
Funny looking.
We it's so weird
that I listen to our old episodes now.
I was in our old episodes.
I edited our old episodes.
I published our old episodes,
and then I listened to our old episodes
and I still laugh at the jokes were funny.
Do you think so?
I think so.
So at the end of that,
one of our segments was a horrible movie.
I bet Mark seen it. Yes.
And this horrible movie.
Is called Hysteria.
Hysteria. Did you watch it?
No, it is Patrick McGoohan.
And I think. You should.
Oh, I. Think we need. To like homework.
We need a report out from Marc
for next week's
re max of what Hysteria is actually like.
Well, let me see here.
The other episode that we're doing is next
week's episode.
Oh, there's like. Two seasons.
One episode six Bride of Christ, Sister
Tumble Dryer. Yes.
I think there's two back.
To back movies in that one,
The Maze and Cross Talk.
I promise viewers to watch
all three of these hideous movies.
Oh yeah.
And report back
next week on how bad they were.
So tune into next
week's Re Max to hear Mark's report.
If he survives watching three bad. Movies.
In a week. Oh.
No problem. No problem.
You do that
every. Week to that. Every week.
All right.
Thanks for listening to the remix.
Maniacs By maniacs. By maniacs.
