05/31/24 • 87 min
"The Savage Girl," starting with its title and continuing on to its conclusion, is a loathsome male power fantasy passing as a jungle adventure. A rich man with an alcohol dependency talks a big game trapper into traveling with him to Africa. While there, they cross paths with a White woman living alone in the jungle, and the men of the expedition fight over who can possess her. Amber and Mike go through this stinker but in the end, find nothing redeeming in it. However, Mike creates a brilliant and glorious non-player character from the ashes, which is free for use in tabletop role playing games.

Previous Episode
The Phantom of 42nd Street - 1945
"The Phantom of 42nd Street" takes the trope of the reporter as a detective a step further and has a newsletter theater critic turning detective. A wealthy and prominent theater owner is murdered and his family and employees are all suspects. Tony, the Broadway theater critic, reluctantly takes on the investigation to find the killer. This mystery from 1945 suffers from an inscrutable plot, although it's well acted and there are some high points. Mike and Amber go through the plot of this movie and share an original character for use in tabletop role playing games that listeners can download for use in their campaigns.

Next Episode
House of Danger (1934)
"House of Danger" is not really a mystery -- the audience is in on the "mystery" almost from the beginning. Instead, it's more of a romance/thriller, where the main characters work out how to disengage from the mess they put themselves in. It's an uneven film, with a few nice moments sprinkled in, and an ending that we guessed at, but couldn't quite believe actually happened. Stay to the end to hear about the character Mike created while inspired by this movie for use in tabletop role playing games.
Title: House of Danger
Alternate Title: The Great Gamble
Director: Charles Hutchison
B/W or Color: B/W
IMDB Rating: 5.2/10
Content warnings: Suicide, kidnapping, car crash, impersonating someone
Hilarious tagline: “A MYSTERY STORY OF THRILLS AND ROMANCE!"
5th Edition Character: Gordon, a villainous manservant
