The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are picking apart the clues to deduce the real murderers in honor of the new twisty drawing room mystery, "Knives Out." The guys pitch variations on the Agatha Christie-style murder mysteries and then play another rendition of their closing game, "So Shalit Be," but this one goes into even extra special bizarre territory, and that's saying something.

Episode 250 includes:

-Trailer responses: "Black Widow," "No Time to Die," and "Free Guy."

-"Aladdin" spinoff time with the only white character!

-The "Charlie's Angels" reboot is a hot mess.

-Ben watched the John Cena-as-fireman-family film. and he kind of liked it. No joke.

-Nate highly recommends "Marriage Story" and says "Uncut Gems" is admirable, but boy oh boy does he not think too highly of Clint Eastwood's "Richard Jewell."

-"Knives Out" is a different kind of murder mystery and it charms Nate and mostly works for Ben.

-This Week's Pitch -- Drawing Room Mysteries!

-Ben pitches murder mysteries inside the White House, a cruise ship, a super hero gathering, and inside the mind of a really hacky writer.

-This Week's Game -- So Shalit Be!

-The guys conclude another edition by adopting the persona of America's favorite 90-year-old film critic and providing increasingly insane blurbs for the movies reviewed on the podcast. This one gets... weird.
