189. Movie Review: Thursday Murder Club, Cast Chemistry, and Pierce Brosnan

This week our hosts, Josh and Jade, dig into Netflix’s new adaptation of Richard Osman’s bestselling novel The Thursday Murder Club. Directed by Chris Columbus (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Home Alone), the film stars Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie, Pierce Brosnan, and David Tennant in a murder mystery set in a quiet retirement community that’s anything but sleepy.The hosts debate whether the ensemble’s chemistry makes the story sparkle, if the plot holds up to the hype, and—most importantly—why Pierce Brosnan was even cast in this movie. Is this Netflix’s answer to Knives Out, or just more streaming slop? Tune in to hear your favorite hosts talk trash.
