Episode Description

Oz and Curtis are grabbing the candlesticks, checking the secret passages, and trying not to get crushed by a falling chandelier to break down the definitive Ensemble Comedy: Clue!On a dark and stormy night in 1954, six strangers with colorful pseudonyms are invited to a secluded New England mansion. They quickly discover they are all being blackmailed by the sinister Mr. Boddy. But when the lights go out and the host turns up dead, the guests—along with a frantic butler named Wadsworth (Tim Curry)—must sprint through the halls to figure out whodunit, where, and with what weapon before the police arrive.We break down the film’s brilliant, breathless execution: the unmatched comic timing of the cast (including Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Martin Mull, and Lesley Ann Warren), Jonathan Lynn’s razor-sharp script, and the legendary gimmick of the Multiple Endings that confused theatergoers but built a permanent home video legacy. Is Clue the funniest Murder Mystery ever put to film and a masterclass in ensemble acting, or just a movie that proves that flames on the side of your face are a perfectly reasonable reaction to blackmail?
