The actual live footage of the real Sherlock Holmes solving the case Watson would write up as "The Engineer's Thumb" is analyzed by King and Miller, as their investigation of the Watson documentary footage continues. They test the footage with an audience again, this time pulling the entire John H. Watson Society into the testing lab with mixed results.

Sherlock Holmes Is Real

The footage of the Shoeless Engineer tested

The two men who definitely haven't drank the "1954 TV" Sherlock Holmes Kool-Aid (because one of them doesn't know what Kool-Aid even is) are back to not only analyze Watson's documentary footage -- now they're testing it on human subjects!  The trans-Atlantic investigation of the fictionalizing of the real Sherlock Holmes continues!

The footage of the Red-Headed League tested

Talon King, Victorian film expert Paul Thomas Miller, and special guest, social anthropologist Raquel Rodriguez, look at some of the most disturbing of Dr. Watson's documentary footage to date -- his recordings of the serial killer called "Mother Hubbard" by the conspirators attempting to portray Watson's work as "just a TV show."

Man about town Talon King and Holmesian boy genius Paul Thomas Miller examine the found footage of "The Case of Harry Crocker," and note how many people in Victorian England looked similar to each other, the one-sided nature of London houses, and more indications of Sherlock Holmes as more criminal than detective. Sherlock Holmes is real, and the footage is out there!

We're one hand short this week, but we still get the scoop on body-less deer, what Watson is missing in Sherlock Holmes Year One, how long a makeshift mast lasts on the good ship Lady Emma, and that special place in Paddington where Watson was happy for a time.

March 22, 2021 -- Was Watson a Paddington bear?

Paul Thomas Miller and Talon King are back, with one of the worst sound engineers in the podcast industry, Jimmy "Army" Buckles. Is the result a listenable podcast? We don't know, but if you make it to the end, you can hear Talon's mum play a jaunty tune on her squeeze box.

Casey Hills from "The Final Podblem" podcast joins Talon and Paul for some of the weirdest documentary footage so far, wherein a single word seems to derail logical thought, and at some point the guy who does the sound editing seems to come in and take Talon's place. It's an hour and a half of content nominally about less than a half hour of YouTube video. You can find The Final Podblem at https://semiautomagicinc.com/the-final-podblem and wherever great podcasts are downloaded.

It was the best of episodes, it was the worst of episodes, as our panel of experts analyzes the footage filed under "The Case of the Shy Ballerina," referencing Billy Wilder, the myth of British sex, Victorian hat use, the Watsonic poetry style, and then completely fall out of character by the end. Better luck next time, listeners!

Does adding a professional counsellor help the show, or does it just lead Talon and Randy to more perversity as Paul tries to keep a modicum of dignity to the proceedings? And it's October, so a Watson-abusing ghost is as seasonal as pumpkin spice scones! Join the our documentary-analyzing team of supposed experts for an hour or so of supposedly analyzing evidence that this supposed Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson were real and . . . supposed!

With our resident Victorian film expert out of action this episode, amateur podcaster Talon King and Sherlock Holmes superfan Randy Davis attempt to analyze "The Case of the Texas Cowgirl" on their own. The results, missing the input of the more intelligent member of the team, are probably at the level this footage deserved.

Talon King, Victorian film expert Paul Thomas Miller, Sherlock Holmes superfan Randy Davis, and special guest Professor Amity Cannon, expert in secret societies, all join forces to break down the documentary footage that Watson based his novel "The Valley of Fear" upon, which was released to the You Tubes as "The Case of the Pennsylvania Gun."

In our second review of Watson's documentary footage, Holmes and Wilkins spend a day in a questionable laboratory, Watson and Lestrade find a common bond, and Watson gives Lady Beryl her close-up. As we saw last time, John H. Watson left a lot out when he got around to writing about Sherlock Holmes instead of filming him. "The Case of Lady Beryl" reviewed as only a podcast called "Sherlock Holmes is Real" would do it.

In season five's bold new adventure for "Sherlock Holmes is Real," new host Talon King welcomes Paul Thomas Miller for a thorough analysis of found documentary footage filmed by Dr. Watson himself, hidden on the internet under the guise of a 1954 TV show that no one really remembers being on TV. In this first episode, they cover Watson's first day with Holmes and "The Case of the Cunningham Heritage."

With the former hosts of the show lost to investigations and quarantine, Talon King pitches the new "Sherlock Holmes is Real." Because THIS time, Sherlock Holmes is really real.

The NEW Sherlock Holmes Is Real

The pandemic has kept the usual hosts out of the studio, and their replacement tries hard to fill the void with a new Mary Morstan revelation . . . and a song.

Episode Twenty-Six: The Secret of Mary Morstan

A fictional docudrama about a supposed conspiracy to turn Sherlock Holmes from a historical figure to a fictional character over the last hundred years by person or persons unknown.
