Legends Podcast #570; Death on the Nile (Murder Mystery)

Director Kenneth Brannagh released two films in 2021. One of them was nominated for seven Academy Awards, seven Golden Globes, and six BAFTAs - winning Best Original Screenplay, Best Screenplay, and Outstanding British Film, respectively. The other one is Death on the Nile. Brannagh's second turn in front of and behind the camera as Agatha Christie's inimitable sleuth Hercule Poirot sees him back on the case in Egypt. A wealthy wedding party featuring an heiress, a con man, some lesbians, Russell Brand, a jazz singer, and a jilted fiance naturally results in murder - but when everyone has motive and opportunity, what's a Belgian to do? The film's release was battered by production issues, the pandemic, and controversy surrounding leading man Armie Hammer, but is the mystery good enough to keep this ship afloat?    For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.
