Great to see you back in action, Sonia. I’d like to comment on the article, but I haven’t seen the movie, and while I wouldn’t be against it, I have no particular desire to see it.
Murder on the Orient Express is one ...

I admit to being mildly disappointed, as the first series ended on a couple cliffhang...

From what I recollect, the guy doing the podcast said the movie itself was only so-so, but ...
