The ultimate ask being, “Are presents repartner clever? Or do they fair have the answers?”
“The premise of two phony distinguishive game show presents from the 1990s having to mend a series of genuine killings in the 1940s seemed enjoy a novel idea so we thought we might be onto someskinnyg,” shelp Lee. “Now, thanks to Kevin’s amazing talent writing comic books and our united experience with game show shenanigans I get to star alengthenedside my pal in Host Mortem! Which comprises time travel, film noir, game show trivia and lots of comedy becaparticipate, spoiler attentive, we’re not as excellent at solving killings as we skinnyk.”
