The Trio In Only Murders In The Building

It’s the show that started it all!

Life goals — Martin Short will one day realize I’ve named an entire murder mystery newsletter in his honor, come to the conclusion I’m a genius for my incredible insights into murder and the human condition and…send me a nice text? Or a video message? Let’s aim high, guys — he’ll subscribe!

And let’s talk about Steve Martin. Back in 2004, Steve Martin wrote an amazing parody of studio notes for Passion of the Christ. It was the sort of thing in television and film that struck such a chord with any producer who’s ever had to juggle the creative demands on one side of production with the (usually absurd) demands of a network or studio on the other, at one point every producer in Hollywood had a xeroxed copy of it pinned next to their storyboard or edit bay door.

It’ll age me to admit I don’t have a funny story or Kevin Bacon degree of separation for Selena Gomez, but hey…that’s what my kids are for, right? Although, in the most recent Season 3 episode, “CoBro,” my husband swears the giant gold cobra is from Taylor Swift’s Reputation tour, ‘cause, you know, Taylor and Selena are besties. My teenagers give him a dubious look, but hey, probably! I’m just hopeful I’ll find a cheap knockoff of her Season 1 burnt orange faux fur jacket one day.

So, who’s your favorite of the trio? And most importantly, who killed Ben Glenroy? Leave your comments below!
