Episode 67: Nancy Drew & A Killer Robot

Season 4 · Episode 67

Thursday, September 19, 2024 • Duration 01:03:59

In the our kickoff of Season 4, we delve into Nancy Drew & the Crooked Banister! Kelly wants a robot that will rub her back. Karen wants a robot that provides a “spontaneous bring”. We are both big Robby the Robot fans, we loved the cool clues but hated they went nowhere, and we love a flaming moat but hate a loose birch tree bridge. Also - Rawley totally faked his own death right?

Episode 66: Nancy Drew & Something Something Mannequin

Season 3 · Episode 66

Thursday, May 23, 2024 • Duration 59:30

In the Season 3 Finale, we get to go to Turkey with the Clue Crew –— Karen thought it was sassy, and Kelly thought it was meh but full of derring-do. We also discuss our theories on doppelgängers, our summer dreams, and how much we want to go to the Grand Bazaar and the Basilica Cistern. Some thoughts to ponder: Would you buy a life insurance policy from Ned Nickerson? Would you have known Aisha was the mannequin? Should locksmiths and librarians have a Hippocratic oath?

Episode 57: The Hardy Bros

Season 3 · Episode 57

Thursday, November 30, 2023 • Duration 01:20:37

In Episode 57, let’s talk about our very first Hardy Boys book - The Tower Treasure! (Spoiler alert, we both friggin’ love the Hardy Boys now!). But first, Kelly loves an earmuff, Karen has a brain meld with Will Shortz, the word “panopticon” is used for the first time on this show, and Aileen’s gonna hook us up with proof of robotic puppets. Over in . . . Bayside? Baywatch? Bayport?….we have our first perishing, there’s lots of reckless driving, and Joe & Frank get paid even though they probably couldn’t take a fingerprint off a moving horse.

Episode 56: Nancy Drew & A Mouthful of Tuna Salad

Season 3 · Episode 56

Thursday, November 16, 2023 • Duration 01:21:47

Let’s dig into Nancy Drew & the Moonstone Castle Mystery! But first, we’re in the chute to the holidays, Kelly’s crowd sourcing a cookie recipe, and Karen had a full-on mail mystery. Meanwhile, George and Bess are full-on BEEFING, the entire Clue Crew finally gets arrested, we’re missing a people talker to tell us about the random castle in the middle of Indiana, Nancy fears being a friendship pusher but is an #influencer, and moats are swum (ew). A group of Corvettes is a cascade, Mrs. Hemstead is an NPC, and Baby Joanie-Jolene-Judy-Jodine’s grandparents have Stockholm Syndrome.

Episode 55: Nancy Drew & A Healthy Fear of Electricity

Season 3 · Episode 55

Thursday, November 2, 2023 • Duration 01:18:33

In Episode 55, we discuss Nancy Drew & The Clue of the Dancing Puppet. First though, Kelly tells us about The Soupening, Karen is in “snuggalump mode”, and we get to see each other this week IRL! Tammy puts the A in “Amateur” but needed more villainous agency, Nancy receives a gratuitous number of head injuries, and some California-based slippery operators slap a giant puppet on a non-existent problem, which seems like a bad idea. In other news, we left in some outtakes, Kelly references a ridiculous number of movies and musicals, and Karen hates a cute little bait-and-switch ghost. Be sure to help us decide if it was it a police electrician or an electrician for the police.

Episode 54: Nancy Drew & The Rogue's Gallery

Season 3 · Episode 54

Thursday, October 19, 2023 • Duration 01:08:43

Let's go to Hong Kong with Nancy Drew in "The Mystery of the Fire Dragon"! It is well nigh Halloween, Karen has been going all around but found time to update her eyeballs, and Kelly has read so many vampire books she's terrified after sundown. This book is a solid "meh" on the Nancy-o-Meter, but on the plus side: there's a stop in NYC before a trip to Hong Kong, and a bookstore smuggling front that is giving "Joe-from-You Bookstore Lair" vibes. Everyone gets individually kidnapped, we believe in thought transference, Karen could eat a piece of cheese, Officer Tommy has 54 problems, and don't forget your lipstick in case of a 505 emergency.

Episode 53: Nancy Drew & the Vacation Boyfriends

Season 3 · Episode 53

Thursday, September 28, 2023 • Duration 01:14:43

Let's go to Adult Summer Camp & investigate "The Clue in the Old Stagecoach" with the Clue Crew! Karen wants to know which side of the tree lichen grows on, and Kelly wants to flirt around a campfire in a uniform. Then on to one of our favorite light-hearted, laugh-out-loud funny capers yet! Nancy solves the mystery of Sally the Bear, the gals are hilarious water ballet-ers, Rick demonstrates Kenergy, and we get a valuable PSA about the importance of dead tree removal. Don't forget to Googer geigle counters.

Episode 52: Nancy Drew & 24 Regular Scorps

Season 3 · Episode 52

Thursday, September 14, 2023 • Duration 01:02:21

In Episode 52, the Clue Crew heads to Hawaii to investigate The Secret of the Golden Pavillion! Karen loved the horror elements of this book, but not the gratuitous Mr. Rogers-ing. Nancy almost gets taken down by tripping off a volcano, and she probably irons her underwear. Kelly rebrands magnifying glasses and can’t remember Gilligan’s Island. Togo is a prize winner and is rewarded in scritches and helicopters. And the boyfriends survive a near-miss and help take down a bunch of scorps. All in all, an unsatisfying mystery, but Hawaii sounds fantastic!
