The Aftermath: The 1985 Movie, Clue

The Alarmist
About this episode

New Guest Expert! On this week’s Aftermath, Rebecca speaks with literary scholar Milan Terlunen about the 1985 camp classic CLUE. Milan gets into the history of the plot twist and how difficult they can be to execute in modern day films. He also reflects on the question that in a film like this, born out of the woes of capitalism, do we really need to care whodunit? Afterward, Patreon subscribers can revisit the board with Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early to see if the initial verdict holds up. Not on Patreon yet?! Join us below!
