Episode 09: Matt Houston, S1 E13

October 15, 2020 • Zoë and Richard

What happens when a Texas millionaire moves to LA to solve crime? Oh, you want answers to questions? Well, be prepared to be disappointed as you are plunged into a world where rational decisions and logical thought are foreign concepts. We delve into an episode where a tiger is trained to kill Werner Klemperer and the suspects are Barbie Benton, a trained karate killer Sonny Bono, and Zsa Zsa Gabor and that’s probably the second weirdest thing in Season 1, Episode 13, “The Purrfect Crime.” Yeah. That’s the actual title.

Join us as we time travel back almost 30 years for Aaron Spelling’s dire warning for future generations, beware the Tigers of March…

P.S. We got Richard’s sound figured out for the next episode, we promise! If you want to hear that caper, live in progress, it’ll be free on our Patreon.
