About this episode
The episode discusses the film 'Murder by Numbers' and evaluates its relevance and quality over time.
In Episode #156, the group turns its attention to Murder by Numbers, a 2002 relic starring Sandra Bullock, Ryan Gosling, and Michael Pitt. It's a film most people remember the way one remembers a locker combination, which is vaguely, and with no real confidence it was ever correct. The hosts reopen the case file to determine whether the film has aged into something worth defending or remains a curious artifact of its era, like low-rise jeans or un-ironic faith in landlines. The post Episode #156 – Murder By Numbers (2002) first appeared on Boomstick Comics .
