Murder Magnets: A Poker Face Podcast
Poker Face is a stylishly cool, beautifully filmed, fresh-yet-nostalgic throwback to detective series of yore like Columbo and The Rockford Files, featuring the fabulous Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cade, a woman on the run, solving murder mysteries with her uncanny ability to tell when you (yes you) are lying. Join Jade, Penny, and Jason as we follow Charlie wherever she wants to take us.
