Warning: Spoiler-heavy review! For our first episode, the sound is a bit rough, but future episodes are better, honest! Teresa Peschel has been reviewing Agatha Christie movies for two years at our Peschel Press site, so creating a podcast talking to her about them is only a natural! We start off her look at Agatha Christie adaptations with “Murder on the Orient Express,” the 2001 made-for-television version starring Alfred Molina, Meredith Baxter, Leslie Caron, and Peter Strauss.

Agatha Christie, She Watched - Agatha Christie, She Watched Ep5 “Sparkling Cyanide” (2003)
play

07/18/22 • 28 min

Warning: Spoiler-heavy review! Teresa and Bill Peschel from Peschel Press discuss the 2003 made-for-British-TV movie “Sparkling Cyanide,” which mixed Christie with “House of Cards.” Updated for the post-9/11 era, it features a vulgar football club owner; a rising governmental minister having an affair with the tycoon's wife; his star striker dating the tycoon's daughter; and a secret government agency spying on them for the prime minister!

With its pro-surveillance state politics, it could have been a propaganda movie from the Ministry of Information in “1984.” In her spoiler-heavy review, Teresa rants about the movie’s big plot holes, it’s “CSI”-like tech that China wishes it has, and why you should still watch it.
