ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING SEASON 4 REVIEW
They say the first rule of real estate is “location, location, location”. While that’s mostly true for Season 4 of Only Murders in the Building, the showrunners seem to have embraced the second rule of sitcom television: “guest stars, guest stars, guest stars”. Considering the number of murders that have occured in Manhattan’s most deadly upscale apartment complex, it’s surprising that anyone would still want to move into the Arconia. Nevertheless, it continues to attract new celebrity tenants and visitors, and all of them are potential suspects – or murder victims. Season 4 picks up right where Season 3 left off, with our intrepid trio of podcasting investigators Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short) and Mabel (Selena Gomez) investigating yet another murder in the building. This time though, it’s personal, as this season’s special guest corpse is Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch), Charles’ former stunt double and best friend. Meanwhile, the success of the podcast has attracted the attention of Hollywood filmmakers who want to adapt their story for the big screen. As usual, this season throws a plethora of characters, subplots, and red herrings at the viewer, but has the show’s well established formula grown deadly? Has the show become clueless, or is it still killing it? To find out, listen to our own trio of podcasters, Frank, Harmoni, and Marco as they examine the evidence, and render their verdict.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Marco Noyola (Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, Audio Editor)
By day, Marco is a mild-mannered office worker, but by night he is a mild-mannered movie watcher. He does other mild-mannered stuff too.
“You don’t need to follow me. You don’t need to follow anybody!”
Harmoni Anderson (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews, Unstabletop Gaming)
Harmoni is a mermaid-haired, millennial, rum drinking, Section 31, Slytherin (who’s divorced J.K. Rowling) preschool/nursery teacher and multi genre geek who also loves all things film, tv, fashion, makeup, and an embarrassingly huge BTS stan. Like really embarrassing. As in, mention them and then sit back and watch the insanity. Harmoni likes being able to game and talk movies/TV with people that aren’t 3 feet tall or all that demanding of her. Plus she can curse at us and not get fired….so bonus!
Frank Calvillo (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)
Born and raised in South Texas, Frank currently lives in Austin and has been in love with movies ever since his father showed him some Three Stooges shorts when he was five years old. Today he loves all kinds of film, regardless of era, country, budget or genre. He believes every film has an audience and is at least one person’s favorite movie. After writing for Sight & Sound and Slackerwood, he now writes for Cinapse where his increasingly random taste in all flavors of cinema (from Rashomon to Mars Attacks!) continues to thrive. His ultimate goal is to write a script for his boyhood crush, Michelle Pfeiffer.
