The Case of the Gilded Lily

[@charlesashton3757]

“I’m sorry, I’m having affairs with four different men in five different states, and your thing is ____?” is now going to become my standard answer to every grand reveal I encounter. Gold. (35:40)

I haven't watched something this good since... *dramatic music plays *The War*

I didn't notice any other comments saying this, and someone has to: My goodness, Joey Richter is *excellent* in this.

[@Raghhhhhhg]

As per usual!!

[@PavarottiAardvark]

Sinead was born to deliver dialogue in that accent!

[@sineadpersaud4506]

Full disclosure: I can't believe anyone let me keep all of the cookie mentions in this film.

[@igotVoldemortsnose]

that's him!

[@jbizer]

"Let's see them cookie-holders" needs to be a saying we all say from now on...

[@emkaysmiles]

Isabelle George sure did!

[@tanzidamim5481]

"A tiramisu so spongy..." and what?! I need to know

[@webby9044]

I'm glad they did

[@ajaxbird2348]

I prefer leaning passive-aggressively against doorways

[@jackiejewel1239]

I can't unhear Tom as Oscar and I think that is hilarious.

[@CourtneyIsSleepy]

Jackie Jewel same!

[@robespierreenjoyer]

Saaamee

[@Dani-it9vc]

Yep same

[@brandihillier]

I'm loving the dialogue so much. Sean and Sinead should be so proud of this. Sinead drinking is the best. I still can't get over Mary Kate's amazing voice. I loved it. I assume I'm going to have to watch it a few more times to catch everything.

[@JeiFaeKlubs]

Mary Kate's singing is just amazing!

[@Ch1ll_0ld_Dud3]

Fig was certainly unimpressed

[@SallyB_23]

Ducks have ears. Do ducks have ears? Must do. That's how they can hear other ducks.

[@WhitneyAvalon]

Yes!!! Smart, snarky historical comedy foreverrrrr! So proud of you guys.

[@sanjuseesstuff]

+Whitney Avalon Hey, were you also on Girl Meets World??

[@WhitneyAvalon]

Yep!

[@Duskof81]

My god. If there is a short film that deserves a full fledged sequel it's this one!

[@skyjoe55]

No not a sequel. A sequel wouldn't do it justice. A series mabey. A tv show!

[@brentage5000]

​@@skyjoe55how about a podcast that premieres at the end of the month?

[@emmaraewilliams]

Oh my gosh. Bixby literally squeezed a bar rag into a drink for Dash like Ford asked him to. I've seen this a million times, and I notice something new every single time.

[@left8277]

Whoever's reading this, watch right until the very end. Shipwrecked have pulled a Marvel on us. WATCH RIGHT UNTIL THE VERY END

[@ByronicBrooder]

OMG THANK YOU

[@natashao3728]

“Pulled a Marvel”😂😂😂

[@jennygotbored]

I did a panic

[@samanthawathugala7458]

Read this and thought half the cast was going to evaporate 😅

[@catriziacat1756]

Do you mean end of credit scenes

[@ohclaire6824]

This film was better than butter on toast. As good as a chocolate cream pie on a warm spring evening. As nicely made as a rocking chair made in a small log cabin in the northern Appalachian mountains. As marvelous as a bird, specifically a blue jay, or a Cyanocitta cristata as it is known it the scientific community, singing an E-flat as around 6:43 on a Thursday evening. As...

[@jeskyaalee5363]

OhClaire and where were you going with that last one 😂

[@ohclaire6824]

Jeskyaa Lee I'm not sure, I usually get interrupted before then. 😂

[@brobro7481]

Great food metaphors

[@AnnisENB]

Halfway through, does Sean have a thing for Joey playing his rival? lol

[@danielachamorro8783]

I know I have a thing for both.

[@madisonholtze7344]

Watching this for the first time, and I lost it at the "I'm just a simple farm girl from Minnesota who sometimes slips into her regional accent and sunburns easily" because... as someone from MN, that's too accurate.

[@Okay_Is_Wonderful]

23:07 🎶Sorry I'm late guys, got a lot on my plate guys, it's hard to juggle work and life🎶

[@Vivaldimort]

LOL!!!

[@devywevy2025]

Great

[@8114梦见]

Fav song in that musical.

[@Dani-it9vc]

Those were my thoughts exactly omg

[@grumpy_bear]

You see tonight is date night You guys can relate, right? Gotta do this thing with the wife

[@deannab95]

20:00 i've watched this easily a dozen times but this is the first time i noticed bixby just SQUEEZES A RAG into a glass for dash 😂 i swear every time i watch this it gets better and better

[@corvus1374]

"Were you in a youth infantry"? All hail Mary Kate, the singing queen. I want the back story on the ventriloquist with the duck. Joey! Joey! Joey!

[@tairneanaich]

„Dish, Dash“ gets me Every Time

[@EmilyNaumer]

Anyone else notice that when Cliff is talking to Ford he’s holding a cigarette, but every time someone else enters the room it suddenly becomes a cigar? That had me dying (that and when Ford said he could feel this case going sideways and then he fell off the barstool lol) !!

[@alatarmaia7]

"surely you can betray your principles for some scotch and a new doorknob" "new doorknob?" "yeah, this fell off when we came in." i legit laughed in the middle of trying to share this bit with my roommate

[@arisymphony]

Sean waxing poetic noir about his girlfriend is adorable. Also Mary Kate is a queen.

[@tangally]

i just love the fact that they didn't have to add ford being interested vivienne, but they did anyway, just cuz its mary kate and sean. they know what we like :p

[@emmaraewilliams]

Oscar's alter ego is holding a cigar and whenever he drops the pretense, it turns into a cigarette between shots. So good!

[@Alverya]

there's a lot of side jokes just off the centre of the screen that we have to watch for. lol. i love when Bixby just squeezes limes/lemons for Dash and Dash drinks it likes it's just water. lol

[@jaynaneeya]

I thought he was squeezing out a bar rag like Ford suggested earlier

[@Alverya]

oooh could be. i rewatched it. didn't show clearly. lol

[@mrwittyone]

I only caught that the second time I watched it. Yes, Bixsby does exactly what Ford said.

[@tairneanaich]

Also Cliff‘s cigarette becoming a cigar when other people come in the room 😂

[@webby9044]

I eat lemons

[@phoenixflare2380]

Oh my god the last Change Of Scene reprise is comedic freaking gold 😂❤️ I laughed so much watching this

[@glatthorn]

:)

[@TiaMat99]

I LOVE this. I was a huge fan of Police Squad, Airplane and Naked Gun and there's not a lot of people who can write this type of sharp humor, let alone act such extremely dry humor with straight faces. Stellar work!!

[@mraes.44]

Every single time Mary Kate steps in front of a microphone within a show is pure magic. Or anytime for that matter!

[@everlasting9292]

"You couldn't buy an honest sentiment and a newspaper here for ten grand and a coupon for a free newspaper." I'm so blown away by the level of comedy in this. I'm just really sad I didn't watch it until now.

[@claregriffith1487]

can I just say that the score is FANTASTIC!? it's so lush!

[@glatthorn]

Thanks~

[@danielachamorro8783]

Joanna's sarcasm in her first line is genius. Need more Sean/Joanna banter.

[@symoneontheinternet]

I haven't seen historical comedy this good since *Dramatic pause* The War

[@shelbynamels973]

And the award for best original song in a movie goes to .....

[@liselperrine481]

Did anyone else see the Poe drawing on Dash's wall? This entire film is amazing and I love how much it makes fun of all sorts of classic movie tropes! Brilliantly written! You guys did it again!

[@amywierz]

(Whoops I'm rewatching it again) But can we just take a moment to appreciate the newspaper article that Sean is reading at the beginning??? That's why I love y'all, even in the details, you guys insert these hidden gems of humor! Also, all of the little jokes sprinkled throughout are just so great, and they make me so happy. Sean and Sinead, amazing job writing, and honestly great job to everyone who was involved because it turned out so wonderful!

[@loraprice9726]

My favorite easter egg is the list of Dash's possible names (32:10) including Curt Mega (if that is his real name).

[@kandyappleview]

I LOVE THIS if the case of the gilded lily and poe party are even the tiniest indication, headless is gonna be epic.

[@vanillaplanifoliae]

love the way joey richter says "alright?". also this film is great - love how the acting and style and stuff resembles actual films from this era :D

[@kimberleyjones17]

I am amazed how differently Mary Kate sounds in this! But I loved the Storyline and the dialogue, I can't even decide which character I like the most!

[@rine6740]

How is this less popular than Poe Party? They're both SO GOOD!

[@una_10bananas]

"oh she's not a bird. She is a person" is such a hilarious line

[@MidnightNautil1]

Bixby freaking kills every line delivery

[@bbspnch]

me: finishes the film also me: immediately restarts it watch it for the eleventh time

[@tessyb8]

I'm loving bixby crane and his cookie jar

[@jaynaneeya]

Oh my gosh I love everything about this so much!!! My favorite part was the question mark after "the end." My second favorite part was Wilhelmina failing at smoking. My third favorite part was everything else. Well done, Shipwrecked! Excuse me while I re-watch this a zillion more times.

[@no-kh1hj]

"sure i can" *crash* "it's supposed to do that"

[@brianmoney410]

Private eye, public nuisance

[@ronjasignaler]

LOVELOVELOVELOVE!!! I love the parodic/ironic use of the clichees and the 4th wall breaking ish voiceover!!("maybe I've been wearing a disguise this whole time" was amazing omygods) So Many Great Funny Oneliners. also "the war". just?? so many great momentss ahhhh!! And does that ending mean there's a chance of a Vivian follow-up?! I loved her character so much, but I would've LOVED to see more of her! (But crikey yes Fig, Ford, Wilhelmina, BIXBY, dash? so many great characters. brb gonna watch this until next autumn when there's a possibility of new shipwrecked stuff

[@quinncoleman3730]

did anyone else notice at 18:18 you can see Dash following Ford out of the dressing room

[@jennygotbored]

When Joey took that cookie I think I died

[@yasmooony]

I can't stop laughing at the "Hold on!" Ford does when he interrupts Willie and Roger's moment and then shaking his head and going away. This was brilliant! The cinematography is excellent, the acting is astounding, the story is silly but great! Well done, you guys.

[@una_10bananas]

Everyone looks SO GOOD in black and white, the lighting is brilliant in this! Also lost it at 25:50 when he looks around to see where the music is coming from

[@indefinitemistynights]

The humor is Lemony Snicket-esque and that appeals to me greatly.

[@slappedbylegal]

The names in this film are magnificent.

[@itisntcarina]

This is an absolute masterpiece. I could (and do, constantly) watch it over and over again. The writing is fantastic, the acting is fantastic, the music is fantastic. God, I love this.

[@liquidsonly]

My takeaway from this is, "Don't do murder". Oh wait! That's a different thing, kinda.

[@chicagochi4183]

That was seriously awesome! Such a fun film, and this is the best Mary Kate has ever sounded - fantastic!

[@natashao3728]

Now this, this is quality content. Brb, I’ll try to get all my friends to watch it so I can stare to my right and say “since... the war” dramatically at least once a weak

[@archanaraghavan954]

Am I the only one who's mind blown by everything that Shipwrecked does? This is so amazing. I can't even believe this. I loved it!!!

[@Eliza-xd5ck]

Don't mind me, just so hyped for Headless I had to give this a rewatch

[@99thTuesday]

Coming back for a rewatch.

[@ecrivonlunyx]

I love that so many of the characters are actually likeable and just nice people :)

[@literarylongisland7649]

YOU ALL ARE OFFICIALLY MY NEW FAVORITE FILM MAKERS! I loved this SO MUCH. Sean and Sinead were fabulous, Sarah was perfect, Joey was hilarious, Mary Kate BLEW ME AWAY... I will keep my fingers crossed for a sequel-- if you do another kickstarter campaign, I'm in!

[@existentialcrisis5027]

MK WILES JUST *KILLED* IT OH MY GOSH

[@AlexanderFaux]

Love the ~sexual tension~ between sean's character (ford) and joey's (dash) This is a joke but also not at all a joke

[@sophiekinch-lake]

The score rules! It sounds so old hollywood and classic!

[@peanutsthesquirrel5225]

This was the most confusing yet entertaining thing I've ever watched

[@esztertoth4513]

It's pretty ironic that Wilhelmina worked as a cigarette girl! ;)

[@redsands1001]

That break in the voiceover and the expressions at 30:20 crack me up

[@jeskyaalee5363]

Damn I’m in love with this!!! (Also maybe another noir with Vivian’s storyline?)

[@brandihillier]

I hope so. That would be very interesting.

[@reitonkyoju8]

He's gay. That's the secret.

[@jeskyaalee5363]

Isabelle George he’s gay that’s the secret that they are implying

[@erzatitana5450]

We definitely need a sequel, and Viv and Fig need to end up together!

[@thaliapeters949]

Mary Kate's voice is something special. It's so unique and unexpected.

[@ag1012]

Ohmygod Mary Kate's singing is beautiful!

[@darkclaw3296]

Just found this channel and as a huge fan of noir and Poe, this along with the Poe dinner party are masterpieces!

[@ShipwreckedComedy]

Thanks so much! Hope you'll check out the current audio drama we're running following Fig and Ford if that's your thing!

[@preserumcoco]

I absolutely ADORED this omg Joanna’s bit?? Perfection Also Bixby working is a mood as a service worker

[@GCWeber]

I just love that the newspaper story is actually fully written and readable.

[@AfterEmbers]

EXCELLENT!!! The puns, the rapid fire dialogue, the characters were fantastic! You nailed every bit of the genre- well done!!!

[@AfterEmbers]

Also can't wait for the further adventures of Ford and Fig!

[@brentage5000]

A tiramisu so spongy it could clean up fifth avenue?

[@courtney9602]

i'd watch a sitcom with these two every day. this is incredible. witty and so much fun. loved it!!

[@EricaElena]

"Sweetheart, it's nearly giraffe time."

[@neverendingspace]

8:25 For one second my brain went “DREW GOODEN” and then I was like- wait

[@alyburr6645]

oh lol trueeee the similarity is totally there

[@elizabethklaers]

I love gilded lily so much 💜💜💜 all of the characters are so well written, and I can't wait to hear most of their returns in the case of the greater gatsby!

[@laceystephens8800]

15:36 I love how she says that for some reason

[@Av-tw3hp]

Joey is hilarious in this! Altogether, a wonderful and mysterious short film!

[@innasfaidz]

You guys deserve so much more attention and love. I honestly cannot believe we get such amazing entertainment for free. Everyone in this is so fantastic and on point it's crazy. Love you guys :)

[@chillybeanartyt]

There are so many hidden jokes in this

[@katie5822]

I don’t know what I expected from the first 8 and a half minutes of this, but it wasn’t a call-out to one of my fave drinks. ALL HAIL THE SHIRLEY TEMPLE.

[@elizabethklaers]

The attention to detail in this creation is truly amazing. It makes the whole thing so much more enjoyable and re-watchable. I don't think I'll ever get tired of this

[@eliorak341]

This is fantastic! It captured the feel of older mystery movies perfectly and had absolutely brilliant dialogue and cinematography. It was very clever, and I loved everything about it, so I really hope there's a sequel in the works. Thank you, Shipwrecked! Incredible as always.

[@insertcheesypunhere]

I knew I saw Jessica Jade Andres and Ryan Garcia in there! Great cameos to supplement a great film. Can't wait to see the next project!

[@PRoseLegendary]

Wow. I knew Mary Kate Wiles could sing, I didn't know she was this good! Bring on Broadway!

[@elizabethklaers]

I love the lighting in this SO much !! The way lighting affects things and highlights different parts or has different effects is one of my favuorite things so to see how it appears differently in a black and white noir film is so fun!! And so well done :,)

[@emaleyrose470]

Honestly, only just discovered Shipwrecked through Poe’s Party a couple of days ago and after seeing that series and this I can honestly say that you are all incredible inspirations to me as a kid actor. Keep it up with this incredible work you guys are doing❤️

[@elizabethklaers]

I absolutly adore wilhelminas nod at 16:36

[@Izzy-Maurer]

So many tiny jokes that made me laugh out loud! Brilliant plot! Great acting + amazing singing from MK. This better have a sequel in the works!

[@Hpfan3295]

This is everything I hoped it would be and SO much more! Stylistically, musically, dialouge-ly... y'all are so talented and it had me cracking up from start to finish. Fantastic job Shipwrecked!

[@carolynjoyce]

Just saying, Sean's profile makes for a really good detective silhouette

[@elizabethklaers]

(I started watching this on gilded lily's 2 year aniversary but it is now 10 minutes past midnight) But yay to gilded lily for it's 2 year aniversary! What a wonderful creation that is chalk full of goodness!

[@Deelusi]

God, I love Joey's acting so much!

[@Illyriamars]

Holy shit, you guys. This is genius.
