At long last, the boys are at a pivotal moment in their Murder On The Orient Express series. After a bumpy ride of with the first two major adaptations, we finally come to the hot mess that is the 2017 adaptation by Kenneth Branagh. Is it a hit? Is it a miss? Is it both?

Welcome to our review, which, much like this film, is something that nobody asked for.

We discuss:

This episode is Part 1 of our Murder on the Orient Express two-parter, and we don’t actually review the movie yet. 😅

First, Sam and Dave catch up on everything that’s happened since the last recording:

• Dave’s California trip that started with a nice restaurant and immediately turned into five days of flu
• Hitting Disney while still sick, getting the inside scoop from a ride engineer, and barely surviving Guardians / Tower of Terror
• Sam’s perfectly timed “last day of summer” Six Flags trip, where Samantha goes on TEN roller coasters and literally passes out on Medusa
• The first-year-of-marriage monthly gift tradition: ruined surprises, shared Amazon accounts, and custom stickers that don’t quite fit the vibe
• Capsule wardrobes, thrift-shop gift fails, and why buying women’s clothes is a psychological game
• A passionate side quest on Stanley vs BrüMate and leak-proof cup loyalty

At the end, they set the stage for Part 2, where the next episode will finally be their full review of the 2017 Murder on the Orient Express.
