The Nero Wolfe radio show with Sydney Greenstreet is an amusing little detective series.

Another series that I remember listening to and thinking the characters had great chemistry together (though I didn't listen to ALL of it, so who know, maybe I just got lucky) was the... strangely named 'I Love a Mystery'.

wesleywillis posted:I heard The Thing On The Fourble Board on the highway today! It made an uneventful, somewhat monotonous drive pretty interesting. I heard an adaptation of that first on the Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society. A REALLY good episode from them was their episode of the Screaming Skull. It was proper spooky, with great sound design.

wesleywillis posted:The Screaming Skull, like you mean the super budget rear end movie from the 50s? Yup, the terrible one that MST3K ripped the piss out off and then some. Turns out, it makes a good story if you have competent people adapting it, who knew?

This one - https://youtu.be/7VOHTID5rWQ - is a Canadian adaptation of the Screaming Skull, which I first heard from a podcast. It's surprisingly effective, with REALLY good Foley work.

Listening to Richard Diamond is... Hilarious? Because of the cigarette adverts. Not only must Camels have bought advertising space, they must have also got in their contract that their cigarettes had to be in the show themselves. It is so unsubtle.

Blah, now I'm annoyed I offered up that Screaming Skull adaptation earlier. This is the perfect season for it.

Just make sure you don't try Dark Fantasy. Unless you're in the mood for 'pants-on-head'-level lunacy instead of spookiness, in which case go for it! I would suggest Spawn of the Subhuman as a jumping off point. Samovar fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Oct 30, 2023 |

Just heard of an old-timey detective-action show that is retrospectively hilarious now (and probably at the time) re. the setting: T-men! The adventures of the operatives of the U.S. treasury in hunting down people who cheat on their taxes.
