I watched Netflix's new "Edgar Allan Poe works as a detective" flick starring Christian Bale, Harry Melling, and a whoooole bunch of underused cool people. Was my inner English literature nerd satisfied by Melling's potrayal of Poe? Was my outer Christian Bale stan satisfied by his portrayal of a hardboiled tragic detective? Listen to find out more. **EDIT** In this episode I mentioned that I was confused about Edgar Allan Poe's Southern-inflected accent choice as I was under the impression that he was closely associated with New England. In doing this I forgot to double check and research that Poe did indeed spend a great majority of his formative years in Virginia and thus the accent is likely accurate. I had a feeling I was wrong as soon as I said it but I am not technologically clever enough to edit my audio. I apologize! Harry Melling does a terrific job in the role.
