  • Detective Millie De Chirico

    Fabulous podcast. Thank you. Now, Millie De Chirico has more than once described herself as the sorta person capable of ferreting out a friend’s boyfriend’s infidelity. This may have been a hypothetical example, but if not, I’m intrigued and would love for her to elaborate.

  • Love the pod! Small suggestion: Casey be aware that he sometimes steamrolls the conversation

    Men tend to steam roll the conversations and I can tell Millie is shut out of conversations, especially when a guest joins

  • Yay!

    I’m glad I waited to review the new pod until after I gave it some time. I think so many people jumped to possibly unfair opinions following the immediate end of ISWYD by comparing the two. I was obsessed with the former, but have come to love and appreciate the dynamic between Millie & Casey just as much. The banter has eased into their own flow, following the first few episodes where they were still finding their footing. Keep it up, friends. 🫶🏻

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Millie & Casey Were on My Favorite Murder!
Q: What are three movies you would recommend to people who love movies but are intimidated by the cinephile community?
Millie suggested indie films from the 90s like 'Stranger Than Paradise' and 'Gas Food Lodging', while Casey recommended Paul Thomas Anderson's films and 'Blue Velvet' as great entry points.
Millie & Casey Were on My Favorite Murder!
Q: What movies have you watched recently?
Millie watched 'Better Man', while Casey watched 'Truly, Madly, Deeply' and was very moved by it.
Best of 2025! Plus, Cartoonist Mimi Pond!
Q: Millie, how should we do this? We both have our top three movies of the year.
I feel like we have some similarity, so I don't really know.
Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)! Plus, Johnny Pemberton!
Q: How is voice acting in comparison to live acting? Do you prefer one to the other or is it just kind of different things?
Voice acting is so much more difficult than live action acting. You have to generate everything that you're doing has to come through your voice.
Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989)! Plus, Johnny Pemberton!
Q: What do you think about like, this is sort of an offshoot of the non-actor, but like, when you can tell, I feel like this happens a lot where you can tell it's like the author of the book the movie is based on, like they have a line in the movie?
They feel shoehorned in and it's sort of like they're acting sort of stilted, but not quite like a non-actor.
