There's no movie for this episode because we finished all 50 episodes! I'm calling this "Season 1" and Mike is maybe not convinced that we should go on to Season 2. We go over our ratings and discuss the movies we rated lowest and highest. Then Mike quizzes Amber on the characters he created from this series of movies and...well, you'll just have to listen to find out how well she did. Or didn't do.

"The House of Secrets" is an old, dark house mystery from 1936. When a man unexpectedly inherits an English estate, he tries to take over the property only to find squatters there. He's later attacked by a group of American gangsters, and along with a detective friend, works to find out the mystery of why everyone wants to get into his house. Amber and Mike sum up the plot of this confusing movie, and Mike shares the original character he created based on this movie that you can download for use in tabletop role playing games.

In "The House of Mystery," an archeologist is cursed after stealing treasure from a temple. Twenty years after he goes home, he invites the investors he shrifted over to his old, dark house for shenanigans and murder. This movie, like many in the genre, is offense, because it trivializes Hinduism in several different ways. Plus, it trivializes disability and involves animal abuse. Other than that, it hits all the notes for your basic haunted house movie, including a seance which makes no sense at all. Amber and Mike sum up the plot of this movie and Mike shares the original character he created based on this movie that you can download for use in tabletop role playing games.

Editor's Note: The movie Saltburn is mentioned in a general way at 1:05:00. You may want to skip 30 seconds if you don't want any whiff of the plot of that movie.

Title: The House of Mystery
