As the first episode goes on, Mabel and Charles receive an email from Paramount Pictures, saying they want to arrange a meeting with the Only Murders in the Building podcasters to talk about a potential movie—and off to Hollywood they go. Similar to past seasons, this latest installment has no shortage of funny moments, from Charles and Oliver trying to negotiate their salaries for the film to Sazz’s comical flashback scenes.
But they are not the only stars of the show. Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria and Zach Galifianakis are cast to play Charles, Mabel and Oliver in the Only Murders in the Building movie; and they fit right into the OMITB universe. For instance, audiences get to see the witty banter between Martin and Levy on-screen, which is reminiscent of the characters they have played in films like Father of the Bride and Cheaper by the Dozen 2.
Of course, when Charles, Oliver and Mabel discover that Sazz is dead, they go into total detective mode and it feels like old times. This case is not like any other the core three have tackled in the past—this one hits really close to home (especially for Charles) because Sazz was a dear friend to all of them, making this season even more devastating and heartfelt to watch.
Without giving too much away, I will say that Only Murders in the Building season four is off to a good start and I can’t wait to see where the story goes from here.
