Summary

Just as you, dear listener, have probably done, we have gone out and watched the Kenneth Branagh adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express! And we have thoughts. So many thoughts.... Take a listen to our off-the-cuff remarks, and then feel free to share yours with us; we'd love to hear from you. (Except maybe if you're Josh Gad. Although actually, if Josh Gad were listening to this podcast we would in fact love to hear from him. E-mail us, Josh!)

0:59.0

but we just wanted to do a special little episode here to convey our thoughts about this movie since we know so many of our

1:06.4

listeners are watching it around the same time so Catherine what did you
