On this episode of the Really Awful Movies Podcast, the quirky 2021 feature, The Advent Calendar.
A paraplegic woman, Eva, who works a humdrum job at an insurance company, gets a strange gift from her best friend: an advent calendar she purchased in Munich, Germany.
Every midnight, Eva opens a door and finds a different kind of chocolate. And of course, much more, as this strange box is a cursed antique.

On this episode of the podcast, with the recent passing of Donald Sutherland, now seemed like the right time to revisit the Bob Clark thriller, Murder by Decree.
This is a late 70s feature, imagining Sherlock Holmes and Watson on the hunt for the infamous Whitechapel butcher.
And the cast is absolutely top-drawer, with Christopher Plummer, James Mason, John Gielgud, and Dead Ringers’ Geneviève Bujold. Sutherland makes an appearance as a psychic, and he’s pretty great, though nothing like the real-life character on which his character is based.
The last time we tackled similar subject matter, was a podcast recorded in London the night after we did the Jack the Ripper tour.
For those who are interested, here is a link to Hands of the Ripper, which Jeff and I recorded after a few beers from our South Kensington hotel accommodations.
