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.

This week on the podcast, Justin Long stars in the Kevin Smith-directed, Tusk.

Wallace (Long), one half of a podcast duo, flies up to Winnipeg to interview a Lolcow to make fun of him. Unfortunately, the kid’s got other plans so Wallace does as well.

Needing content for his show, Wallace comes across a strange message in the men’s room and decides to pursue the lead. And does so..AT HIS OWN PERIL.

Tusk is a body horror comedy set in Manitoba that has its moments.

This is a low budget affair about three snowmobilers caught in a blizzard in the Alberta Rockies, the most Canadiana plot ever for any horror film.
