This week on Binge Yap Repeat, we’re trading reality dating drama for cozy crime capers as we dive into The Thursday Murder Club. Based on Richard Osman’s bestselling series, this witty whodunit brings together four unlikely sleuths in a sleepy retirement village who just can’t resist a good mystery.

We’ll break down the show’s sharp humor, lovable oddballs, and twisty plotting — plus LOTS of differences between the book and the movie. Do the murders keep us hooked? Do the jokes land? And most importantly: which member of the Thursday Murder Club belongs in each Hogwarts house?

Grab your tea, polish your magnifying glass, and join us as we yap our way through crime-solving retirees, British charm, and the art of a binge-worthy mystery.

Binge In Progress: Scandal, Pokemon Go

This week we’re yapping about one of the most infamous true crime sagas of the 2000s: the Amanda Knox case. From the shocking murder in Perugia to the chaotic media frenzy and the years of trials, appeals, and retrials, we unpack how the story spiraled into a global spectacle. We dive into the sensational headlines, the frustrating arrest, and the way Amanda herself became a character in a twisted narrative she couldn’t control. Was this a case of justice gone wrong—or a reminder of how easily public opinion can become its own court? Grab your espresso (or wine) because this is a ride through scandal, spin, and the strange blur between fact and fiction.
