The Podcast Murders

My wife and I are big fans of movies on LMN. On too many movies, we are able to figure out who the culprit is, sometimes very early in the film. The best ones keep you guessing for a long time. Without revealing spoilers, this one kept us guessing til the very end.

The writing is superb and the acting is very very good. We were especially taken by Natalie Sharp, who portrayed Ellie. We had seen her before (Baby Monitor Murders) and were delighted with her performance in this movie. We had her pegged wrong throughout the entire movie.

This movie is worthy of a second look and we will probably pick up clues and other things we missed the first go-around.

We hope we see more of Ms. Sharp in the near future.

Saw this on tv in a hotel and it was terrible. People are saying it's good but it's one of the worst movies iv seen and I wish I haven't seen it the plot is alright but the way it's done makes it terrible it also tried to hard at having a twist. The acting is terrible same thing with the cinematography and way the plots done all wrong. If you enjoy horror movies don't watch this it's not a good horror movie. So just don't watch it please it's terrible and does not deserve anyone watching it. I don't get how some people actually enjoy watching this movie. It seems like they have. Never watch this movie ever.

Chloe Joy (Lanie McAuley) is a successful true crime podcaster with an insightful dissection of an unsolved serial killer case. She keeps her private life private. She is contacted by reporter Ellie Manchester (Natalie Sharp) who wants to do a story on her. The two women get close. Someone is blackmailing her. She starts dating Josh.

This is a Lifetime mystery movie. The first half is a bit slow. The movie obviously is pushing for a final twist reveal. There are a couple of possibilities. I was hoping for something different, but the twist becomes inevitable. This is pretty ok. This is a twist looking to fill out a movie.

A solid plot that keeps you questioning who the killing is throughout the movie. Usually it's obvious, but this film does a great job of keeping you on the edge of your seat to figure things out. Overall the performances were good and I thought it had a lot of nice moments in it that allowed the audience to participate in figuring things out. An intelligent movie that doesn't skip a beat until the end. There was also a wittiness to the conversations about killers that was unique to this movie and made it more of an intellectual pursuit rather than your typical mindless entertainment that you get with these types of movies.

The Podcast Murders was better than I expected. Although my expectations were not that high to begin with. I thought it was worth watching. A couple of twists here and there were nice. First off, thank you for casting two women who didn't look alike. It seems like in too many LMN movies, the lead women all have the same hair. If I have any complaints, mainly it would be that at the end, the dialog went on WAY too long. And there were a few other times when it got a little long winded too. She must have been in great shape because, after all the workouts at the gym, she never sweat and was hardly ever out of breath. But I'm being picky with that.

Otherwise, pretty good.
