About this listen
It's Halloween season, so today we're bringing you a spooky Halloween special all about Kenneth Branagh's latest Poirot film, A Haunting in Venice, which is based on Agatha Christie's 1969 novel Hallowe'en Party.
The film joins Poirot (played by Branagh) as he navigates the narrow streets of creepy post-war Venice. Soon Poirot finds himself embroiled in a horrifying murder mystery at the home of Rowena Drake, a famous opera singer whose daughter Alicia tragically fell from her balcony and drowned in the canal below. After Rowena Drake holds a séance with the famous medium Joyce Reynolds (played by Michelle Yeoh), guests are horrified to find Reynolds brutally murdered after she hints that she may know the truth about the mysterious death of Alicia Drake.
In today's pod, we talk spooky hallucinations, haunted houses, creepy children and ghostly bees. We'll also be offering up our opinions of Branagh's Poirot and Tina Fey's Ariadne Oliver, and chatting about the (very loose) source material and how the book compares with the film.
Join us as we discuss all this – and more!
