The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Part 1)

About this episode

The hosts discuss the inspirations behind Ace Attorney, focusing on Agatha Christie's 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd' and its characters.

Join us as Ben, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! We're doing it! We're finally doing it! It's time for the queen of mysteries herself, Agatha Christie, to make her UAR debut! We're quickly enamored by the cast of characters here, such as our sexist narrator Dr. Sheppard, his gossiping sister Caroline, and the sweet yet stalwart Flora. Of course, it all orbits around our clever and persnickety detective, Hercule Poirot, who apparently was a surprise to Tiago! We theorize about the possible murderer, the motive, and whether you should listen to our podcast when you have a fever. Also discussed: high society, Mr. Robot, and TUBI!!!!
