TMBDOS! Episode 239: ”Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon” (1942).

Lee and Leah return this episode with a trip back to the Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes series, taking a look at "Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon" (1942), directed by Roy William Neill, picked to be covered by special guest host on this episode, Matt Anderson. Much of the conversation revolves around the otherwise straight-forward plot and the changes made to Holmes after Universal picked up the series from Fox. Is 1940s spy-smasher Holmes a total betrayal to the source material, or is it a cool tweaking of the character? Is Bruce's Dr. Watson unfairly shat upon? Does the series do Dr. Moriarty justice as well? What's with the size of British pound notes? Also, Matt gets to play the Movie God Game, and the hosts all talk about what they've watched as of late in a slightly longer episode than usual.
