We are new fans of the classic, 80s & 90s-tastic show Murder, She Wrote. Each month we watch a new episode as recommended by you, our dear listeners! On the first Friday of every month we analyze each recommended episode from the plot twists to the phenomenal fashion to the gluttony of amazing guest stars! We also bring you behind the scenes stories, trivia and even play super fun MSW-centric games! Plus we sometimes have special guests from the worlds of podcasting and stand-up comedy!
S05 E21 & E22 "Mirror, Mirror On The Wall"
Our little podcast says goodbye by covering what was meant to be Murder, She Wrote's series finale (and what will live in our hearts as the series finale despite the show continuing for a couple hundred more episodes). We have loved every bit of this journey and thank you all for joining us for any part of it. That even one person listened to a podcast where two morons discovered the joys of JB Fletch is beyond our wildest dreams. But to have so many WONDERFUL people listen and reach out to us along the way is something we will remember for the rest of our lives. However, like Iron Man said, part of the journey is the end...

Happy International Angela Lansbury Appreciation Day! To celebrate we are dropping a bonus episode this month and you guys, the explicit tag has never been more necessary.

{Ep23} S02 E02 "Joshua Peabody Died Here... Possibly"
We go back to the beginning and you guys get to hear our reactions to seeing our very first episode of Murder, She Wrote. Ever. Needless to say, we were blown away and instantly fell head over heels in love with JB Fletch. And we almost called this podcast "Murder, She Podcasted" and a shout out to Julia WD Harrison is warranted for actually suggesting the name "Murder, We Spoke." Thanks again, JWDH ;) And be sure to drop us your entry in the Murder, We Swag giveaway! Listen to the beginning of the ep for all the deets.

{Ep22} S07 E14 "Who Killed JB Fletcher?"
Yoohoo! We couldn't wait a whole month to watch another episode so we are dropping in a little early on you guys. And we could not be happier we didn't wait because this episode is everything! There is basically a JB Fletcher cult, y'all. A cult we could not want to be a part of more quite frankly. And be sure to drop us your entry in the Murder, We Swag giveaway!

{Ep21} S01 E07 "We're Off To Kill The Wizard"
There are untold layers to this episode, you guys. First off, we meet our first true MSW sociopath. We also meet a woman who has clearly murdered at least three humans and is not at all the target of the murder investigation. Watch this episode and then join us to break it all down (and play some fun new games)! Be the JB Fletch to our Doc Hazlitt and leave us a good review on iTunes (and you know we'll read it on the podcast and tell you how much we love you!). Just as we promised, inspired by this very episode, there's a new item in our RedBubble store!

{Ep20} S07 E07 "The Return of Preston Giles"
It is the one year (and a couple months) anniversary of Murder, We Spoke! We honestly had no idea if this podcast would make it past episode two but because of how awesome and involved you guys have been we have already made it a whole year! And we never want to stop! And the happiness ends there because this episode of Murder, We Spoke is grim. Early 90s, gray and pink, grim. If you have an episode to recommend, that is how we keep the show going so let us know on Twitter @MurderWeSpoke! Help support the show by subscribing and leaving us a lovely review on iTunes and we will probably read your review on the show! And be sure to drop by the Murder, We Spoke Shoppe!

{Ep19} S01 E08 "Death Takes a Curtain Call" with KIRA SOLTANOVICH!!!
We are beyond excited to have the hilarious, wonderful, gifted, talented, lovely, hilarious (wrote it twice on purpose) Kira Soltanovich join us! She has an amazing new special out called You Did This To Me and we get to talk to her about what it was like to film a stand up special while eight months pregnant. Turns out it was whatever the opposite of "easy breezy" is. NOTE: you may have noticed that we are not covering The Return of Preston Giles but never fear! That is coming in our next episode! We had the privilege of having Kira on the show so we did a special episode that, unwittingly, had tons of mispronounced Soviet slurs. Yeah. We're classy. Help support the show by subscribing and leaving us a lovely review on iTunes and we will probably read your review on the show! And be sure to drop by the Murder, We Spoke Shoppe!

{Ep18} S06 E07 "Night of the Tarantula"
You guys, all the accents. Just Americans doing horrendous accents. I am talking about the podcast you're about to listen to and the episode of Murder, She Wrote we just watched. So, you've been warned. So bad, in fact, it almost overshadows all the racism.
And don't forget to head over to KickStarter to help Joel get enough funds to put together a fully furnished Cabot Cove EP! It is going to be so great!
4/1/2016 • 47 minutes, 10 seconds
{Ep17} S05 E03 "Mr. Penroy's Vacation"
Another cracking episode of Murder, She Wrote! There is sociopathic lesbians, train robberies, city slickers, pudgy bulldogs and oh-so-much more! Please join Ben and Marissa as they break down this amazingly Cabot Covey episode! And we play some super fun games, too!

Loretta's Ladies are back! Or should we just call them The Real Housewives of Cabot Cove? Either way, we could not be happier to see them! This episode is ankle deep in juicy gossip!

{Ep15} S05 E04 "Snow White, Blood Red"
So we watched what may well be the best episode of Murder, She Wrote ever! It had a great murder mystery, it had a surprising amount of gory realness, it was the pinnacle of 80s sweater fashion, there was crossbows, need we go on? If you have not watched this episode yet, DO NOT MISS IT! Then come join us as we break it down in all its glory!
1/22/2016 • 54 minutes, 15 seconds
{Ep 14} S12 E15 "The Dark Side of the Door" with special guests Sue & Ashton!
This episode is a crissy-crossy-double-crossover of a podcast because we have Sue Funke of the CAbernet And A podcast and, as if that wasn't good enough, Ashton from Skeet Skeet: The Noah's Arc Podcast!
First and foremost, we educate you about Stranger Danger, then we learn about the "Super Treadmill," see some top shelf guest stars and talk about how being an editor seems horrific.
Be sure to help out Joel B. New as he is getting ready to release his first EP entitled "Cabot Cove." It will consist of five theatrical pop songs based on five of JB Fletcher's novels. Awesome, right? Yes. And to make it even better he is doing it based on your votes! So vote early and vote often! Voting closes at 5 pm on Friday, 12/4.
We also end this episode by playing a new game created by the brilliant Tom McNab!
This is obviously a jam-packed episode.
12/3/2015 • 1 hour, 14 minutes, 30 seconds
{Ep13} S09 E04 "The Wind Around The Tower"
Lucky number thirteen! We celebrate by playing the Murder, She Drank bingo/drinking game (don't worry guys, Ben is your sober buddy for this one). Since the M's are a wee bit drunk this one goes a bit off the rails with side talk. Fair warning. But this episode was so much fun you guys will love it, I promise! We still talk plenty of Murder, She Wrote especially since this is the first episode we have watched set in Ireland! And if one actual Irish person was cast, I would be bloody well shocked because the accents were next level terrible!
Also, Joel B. New is doing an EP of theatrical pop songs based on the novels of JB Fletcher and he is letting us all vote on which novel titles get used! So vote early and vote often, you guys!
Don't forget we are only watch episodes based on your suggestions so let us know your favorite episode! We can't do this podcast without you! The easiest way is to hit us up on Twitter @MurderWeSpoke.
11/21/2015 • 1 hour, 19 minutes, 39 seconds
{Ep12} S03 E13 "Crossed Up"
Can JB catch two killers, during a hurricane, without even leaving bed? What do you think?
Remember guys, we are only watching episodes that you recommend so if you have an episode you want us to cover then let us know! All you gotta do is tweet at us @MurderWeSpoke!
And we would be endlessly grateful if you took a few moments to subscribe and leave us a good review on iTunes. We'll be the Seth to you JB if you do (you know, with all the condescension and sexual tension).

{Ep11} S10 E05 "A Virtual Murder" with super special guest Marco Sparks!
We are honored to have the wonderful Marco Sparks as our first return guest! For our collective viewing pleasure he chose for us the phenomenal episode where JB Fletcher breaks technological boundaries! This episode is also littered with amazing guest stars (two from Seinfeld alone)! And Boogie Nights gets a lot of attention (and rightfully so). Plus we learn of our very own Marissa's movie shortcomings. You guys, she's never seen Point Break.
Remember, we are first time viewers of Murder, She Wrote so we rely entirely on your suggestions for which episodes to watch! We can't do this without you guys! Be sure to tweet any suggestions, questions or regards at us @MurderWeSpoke or email us at MurderWeSpoke@gmail.com.
10/13/2015 • 1 hour, 24 minutes, 27 seconds
{Ep10} S08 E17 "To The Last Will I Grapple With Thee"
Bad accents seem to be a theme on this podcast lately so why not hear some bad acccents from the Emerald Isle? But aside from the questionable accents, this is actually a phenomenal episode (that has plenty of great accents, too, don't get us wrong). It had a well-woven mystery, Jess being Jess and annoying officers of the law and the single most grim death this lighthearted show has ever seen! Seriously guys, brace yourselves. It gets grim.

{Ep09} S05 E13 "From Russia... With Blood"
Today we are joined by Ben's (kinda sorta maybe drunk) relatives as we discuss the episode of Murder, She Wrote where Jessica takes her shenanigans to the USSR! Think minks. Think (Iranian-for-some-reason) caviar. Think espionage. Think great Russian accents. This episode has it all!
Your hosts are SUPES confused by the plot of this episode and the drunk relatives have to set us straight. We are legit dummies. We are the derpy-derps of the Murder, She Wrote podcasting universe. We accept that.
9/3/2015 • 54 minutes, 7 seconds
{Ep08} S01 E18 "Murder Takes the Bus" with special guest Jolene Bolinger of Murder, She Podcast!
It is a crossover event of lore and legend! Today we are joined by the wonderfully charming host of Murder, She Podcast Jolene Bolinger (she's @MurderShePod on Twitter)! We jump feet first right into this episode which is about the sheer lack of automobiles in Cabot Cove? I think? JB Fletch and Sheriff Tupper end up on a murder bus with pre-Golden Girls Rue McClanahan at any rate. We also learn how the least helpful thing in a black out is a match. You want to know how bonkers this episode is? Sheriff Tupper almost solved the murder before Jessica did! Wuck?! Yeah, you need to listen to this one.
We are covering the best episodes of Murder, She Wrote as recommended by you, our dearest listeners! So if you have suggestions let us hear em! You can tweet us @MurderWeSpoke or email us MurderWeSpoke@gmail.com!
Also, be a buddy and a pal and leave us a pleasant review on iTunes. We'd be ever so grateful, you know we would!

{Ep07} S12 E16 "Murder Among Friends" with super special guest Molly McAleer!
We are joined today by the amazing, wonderful, hilarious blogger (Molls She Wrote), author (The Alcoholic Bitch Who Ruined Your Life), podcaster (Plz Advise), Hello Giggles co-founder, Twitter monster (@Molls) and Murder, She Wrote fan Molly McAleer! The cool kids call her Molls. We call her Molly. We love her. You'll love her, too.
She helps us break down an episode where the murder doesn't happen until the last ten minutes! There are also so many characters that Jessica gets very short shrift which is, like, not cool. But the Friends spoof (lovingly called "Buds") makes for an amazing episode that us three 90s kids absolutely adored!
7/16/2015 • 1 hour, 6 minutes, 44 seconds
{Ep06} S04 E07 "If It's Thursday, It Must Be Beverly"
We may have only watched six episodes of Murder, She Wrote but this is already one of our all time favorites! Not only are we in Cabot Cove for the first time (on this podcast) but this episode is basically about watching two old men make JB Fletch talk to other older ladies about sex. It was amazing. This episode also has us 100% convinced that AIDS originated in Cabot Cove. We know you'll agree when you hear our logic.
Plus we witness the single most f***ed up morality tale ever seen on American television! And, yet again, Jessica has to fend off multiple men while she does the job of the sheriff and solves a murder.
We close the episode talking too long about a one star review we got because we are very fragile humans who, like everyone, only yearn to bring joy and garner the approval of strangers.
We are covering the best episodes of Murder, She Wrote so if you have suggestions let us hear em! We are newbs so we need your picks! You can tweet us @MurderWeSpoke or email us MurderWeSpoke@gmail.com!
Also, be a buddy and a pal and leave us a pleasant review on iTunes. We'd be ever so grateful, you know we would! Especially if you listened to this entire episode.
7/9/2015 • 1 hour, 13 minutes, 37 seconds
{Ep05} S03 E12 "The Corpse Flew First Class"
We are back to watch JB Fletch solve a crime at 30,000 feet! Well, technically, she solves two crimes I guess. And she even makes time to laugh at the misfortune of the poor. She really adapted to that first class lifestyle pretty quickly. We even venture into talk of plane bombings, dentists and how annoying grad students are. And the classy old dude that is hitting on Jess for the ENTIRE episode ends up being the bad guy. Again. So, as you can see, lots to discuss.
Plus, we introduce a new segment where we make (and review) a recipe from the Murder, She Wrote Cookbook! Yes, there is a Murder, She Wrote cookbook!

{Ep03} S01 E05: "Lovers and Other Killers" with super special guest Marco Sparks!
We continue our magical journey of getting more acquainted with JB Fletcher as we watch our second episode of Murder, She Wrote! To help us out is a Jessie Fletch veteran and fellow podcaster Marco Sparks! He walks us through a great episode that basically sees Jessica rebuffing the advances of all the men. Young and old, creepy and... well, creepy. She happens to find time to solve a murder somewhere in there, too.

{Ep02} The Pilot: The Murder of Sherlock Holmes, Part Two
After a couple false starts in our intro, we get the ball rolling and follow Jessica as she solves the murder of Sherlock Holmes in the pilot of Murder, She Wrote! We also get into some more stellar guest cameos that only Ben recognizes. I'd say just prepare for that to be a reglular feature of the podcast. We talk about how we would definitely like Jessica's wardrobe (seriously) and we design not one but two Murder, She Wrote shirts live on the show!
Plus, Jessica Fletcher also teaches us a valuable lesson; we're all racist. She's not. She's Jessica Fletcher. But the rest of us, we're all the absolute worst. Shame on us.

{Ep01} The Pilot: The Murder of Sherlock Holmes, Part One
Welcome to the premiere episode of the premiere Murder, She Wrote podcast! Your hosts (Marissa, Melissa & Ben) watched one episode of MSW and fell head over heels in love with Angie Lans (that's Angela Lansbury to the uninitiated). So, now we have ventured to watch this 80s-tastic show from the very beginning and share our journey with you. We make very good choices. As do you.
Join us as we get to know the sheer unadulturated glory that is Jessica Fletcher and Murder, She Wrote! Her origin story is pretty epic and invloves Humpty Dumpty, gay Bill Cosby, Lex Luthor's nephew and neck towels. You don't want to miss it.
