Summary

Who’s to blame for the murders in the 1985 cinema classic CLUE?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes fellow podcaster Nichole Hill, host of Our Ancestors Were Messy, to discuss the iconic movie based on a boardgame: CLUE. As the dead bodies pile up, and with multiple endings to choose from, who’s really to blame for this mess? Was it Miss Scarlett in the Library with a revolver? Was it Wadsworth playing his butler in order to blackmail in the most theatrical of ways? Or is this just what happens when you keep bad company? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
