Episode 4 - Maigret in Maigret (2022)

Bonjour, détectives! This week on Be Gay Solve Crimes, we bring in Commissaire Jules Maigret for some much needed gender questioning. Specifically, the Georges Simenon novella Maigret and the Dead Girl, for which the best on-screen adaptation unfortunately stars the most Brought-In-For-Questioning actor we've yet encountered. Oui, nous regrettons tout. We've watched it so you don't have to. Join us as investigate the Saddest Detective In The World. A man with the lungs of a twelve year old. A man who isn't sure what a pipe is, let alone how to get rid of his own. A man who, if the subtitles that we very legally downloaded are to be believed, sure knows how to choke every last drop of gravy out of the head of his duck (???) For more Be Gay Solve Crimes, check out our patreon, where for as little as £5 a month you can get access to a new bonus episode every fortnight, including our past bonus episodes on Disco Elysium, Silence of the Lambs, and LA Noire! Next week, we're cracking open an old case with the girls to ask whether they really got the right culprit in the classic two-part Simpsons episode Who Shot Mr Burns. Follow us on Bluesky and Twitter. The Be Gay Solve Crimes team is made up of November Kelly, Mia Mulder, and your local librarian Lucy.
