In the post-edit recap we discuss how Episode 4 is pivotal to Felix understanding the heart of the story, and how romance can work. They're totally separate topics, I assure you.
If you're confused, Ben is the one who knows what's going on, Felix is the one who is lost.

We discuss Parts 3 & a portion of part 4, Chapters 16-24 of Jim Noy from The Invisible Event's 2022 debut murder mystery, 'The Red Death Murders'. Prince Prospero has died, poisoned by a cup Thomas last touched himself. The explanations are few, and the prime suspects fewer. How can one thirteen-year-old boy cope with the pressure as rumours abound that his life is about to take a turn greater than he ever could have predicted? Jim Noy has left Herds with a dastardly list of questions, but will he have the power to unravel them all?

It's Review Season, and in 13th place, we’ve positioned several of Japan’s most renowned creative houses, with both film adaptations of ‘The Inugami Clan’. Author Seishi Yokomizo continues to haunt japanese mystery fiction, with spinoffs and adaptations of his leading detective, Kosuke Kindaichi, continuing production over forty years after his passing. Kon Ichikawa was perhaps more prolific, even if his comparisons to other contemporaneous Japanese directors are less universal.

We discuss chapters 14-21, in John Dickson Carr's 'The Crooked Hinge' with Brad Friedman of 'Ah Sweet Mystery'. Our charming little murder mystery takes a bizarre tour through the romantic proclivities of both our detective's assistant and a suspect. At last, an explanation of motive emerges for the crime, but it's even more bizarre than we had predicted. Dr. Gideon Fell announces his solution, only for a challenge to be raised and a cliff hung. Finally, an invitation to meet from the culprit concludes the true nature of the case.
We're also joined by Aoife Clifford to talk about her latest release, 'When We Fall', ahead of her appearance for 'Small Town, Big Secrets' at the Sydney Writers' Festival. Flex also spoke about this book on ABC Radio National's 'The Bookshelf'.

We discuss chapters 4-6 of 'Decapitation' by NISIOISIN. A second murder occurs. The two rivals, Kanami Ibuki and Akane Sonoyama, are both decapitated. The protagonist's plan to keep everyone safe from the killer using Mafia strategy has backfired. His reputation is starting to fray as even the silent maid, Teruko, confronts him for his incompetence. Kunagisa's computers are destroyed, and what little evidence it stored along with it. How can this ordinary boy on an island full of geniuses keep himself and his unlikely acquaintances safe? Why is it left to him?

I've had it with you, Keiichi.
Also for the record, I tried to rerecord Keiichi's monologue and did it in less than half the time so I guess I did it faster than me, so take that, Ben.
If you're confused, Ben is the one who knows what's going on, Felix is the one who is lost, for now.
