Tony Wirt and host Emily J. Edwards have a delightful conversation about the movie CLUE and its impact on them, including childhood experiences, the art of mystery writing, Tim Curry's performance, rurality and claustrophobia, and humor and grammar jokes.

It's bot a perfect and imperfect mystery movie!
