Episode 16: Nancy Drew & the Dowsing Locket Jul 08, 2021

Show notes

In Episode 16, Karen & Kelly discuss how "Nancy Drew & the Clue of the Broken Locket" snatched defeat from the jaws of victory by under-utilizing a ghost ship and over-utilizing orphans and twins. Kelly is annoyed, Karen is hot, and both have some suggestions for plot improvements, along with concerns about food sanitation standards at the confectionary and bait shop. If you want to hear about their shared trauma from seeing Titanic with their parents, you've come to the right place. Kelly mispronounces yacht and Karen thinks the past tense of squeeze is "squoze".
Rated 5.5 out of 12 Iron Flamingos.

Episode 15: Nancy Drew & the Night Night Pudding Jun 24, 2021

Show notes

In Episode 15, it's all-things "Nancy Drew & the Password to Larkspur Lane." Karen is not cranky BUT KEEP YOUR VOICES DOWN, and Kelly is a man with no country after hours of stalker shows. Karen hates planes but somehow knows the word “fuselage”, and Kelly feels all men should be held to the Ned Nickerson boyfriend metric standard. HELEN IS BACK, Nancy is a titian-haired butterknife, and we daydream about Donald from the IFAHPF. Rated 11 out of 12 sprained ankles. Now with more bad-ass than ever.

Episode 14: The Inheritance Games + Reading List #4 Jun 17, 2021

Show notes

In this month’s Super Sleuth Special Episode, Karen and Kelly fully geek out over “The Inheritance Games” by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. In addition to this AMAZING book (think “Westing Games” meets “Twilight”, but in the best way possible), K&K commiserate over their nameless house beasts’ simultaneous reigns of terror. If they won billions, Kelly wants to learn to cook amongst the chickens and Karen wants more room for activities. Kelly gets confused about alcohol branding, and Karen graciously goes along with it rather than calling her out mid-recording. The “Invest / Cultivate / Create” birthday challenge is pondered, the science of fandoms is touched on, and Reading List #4 is revealed!

Rated 12 out of 12 glass ballerinas.

Episode 13: Nancy Drew & the Systematic Pilfering Plot Jun 10, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, Kelly and Karen discuss "Nancy Drew & the Sign of the Twisted Candles," which naturally leads to TikTok candle trends and plotting a Nancy Drew-themed inn experience. Karen provides a more-than-adequate number of Nancy-verse fun facts, and Kelly has an on-air epiphany about her own superhero origin story. They also ask - What makes someone a healthy friend, and why is it Helen?
Favorite book to date and, as such, rated 11 out of 12 chimney bats!

Episode 12: Nancy Drew & the Money-O-Meter Jun 03, 2021

Show notes

In Episode 12, Kelly and Karen dig into "Nancy's Mysterious Letter" by Carolyn Keene (aka Walter Karig). This book features 100% more sass, football, and phone calls to priests than ever before. There's a Lonely Hearts Club scam (aka more mail fraud), Karen makes up sports ball vernacular, Nancy and Co. are all "boo'd up", Hannah has a secret admirer, Kelly obsesses over the naming convention deviation, and Rory the Cat makes his presence known.
Don't forget - July 1st is Ira Nixon Appreciation Day!

Episode 11: Nancy Drew & the Exploded House May 27, 2021

Show notes

In episode 11, Karen and Kelly cover "Nancy Drew & the Clue in the Diary" by Carolyn Keene. Just like Nancy loves a sport dress, Kelly loves a frame job and a stakeout. Karen gets deep into the science of graphology (pscyh!), the term "Venn diagram of setting things on fire" is uttered, and we finally meet Ned Nickerson, a hunky car savior who is thirsty AF. Also, is everyone worried about Nancy? Bonus: an actual Swedish chef, and a fictional Karen. Rated 5.5 signet rings.

Show notes

In episode 10, Kelly and Karen talk about one of Karen's childhood faves, "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" by E.L. Konigsburg. Join as they discuss great places to run away TO, the joy of a great plan and a juicy secret, and the mysterious phenomenon of Sibling ESP. Karen solves a mystery using only the Internet, Kelly literally pulls out her hair, and both cry multiple times when hit directly in the feelskies. Also, who wants an episode about "Ghostwriter"? Rated 11.5 out of 12 gray underwear.

Episode 09: Nancy Drew & the Missing Extraction Plan May 13, 2021

Show notes

In this week's episode, Karen & Kelly lovingly re-hash their new fave in the series, "Nancy Drew & the Secret of Red Gate Farm" by Carolyn Keene. And y'all - this book has everything: a cult, a non-implied snake, a counterfeiter's roadside attraction....need we say more? Also, Karen's in library jail, and Kelly alienates everyone who dunks their fries. Rated 8.5 out of 12 cult masks!

Episode 08: Nancy Drew & the Continuity Error May 06, 2021

Show notes

It's time for "Nancy Drew & the Secret of Shadow Ranch"! Join Kelly and Karen as they mourn Helen, talk about an evil (or was he bad?) magician from Seattle, review the benefits of a water horse versus a standard road horse, and reflect on the difficulties of cleaning phosphorescent paint off horses, dogs and small children. All this while tossing around some "varmints" and "desperadoes". Rated 6 out of 12 prairie dogs.
