The first rule of Murder Club is DO NOT TALK to the Magnus Institute about Murder Club. The second rule of Murder Club is run.

Nice of Elias to have Jon picked up from the airport by Daisy even though she was one of Jon's former kidnappers

So I had on my wolf mask as I entered the party, but it slipped down and covered my eyes so I couldn't see. Decided to make an entrance anyway, stumbled into the room and waved my fake knife about. Not the best masked party I've been to - they killed me, the pricks.

The idea of a friend group who just consentually hunt each other for sport is so fhdhsisbehcufh

"murder club wasn't supposed to be like this" i--

Well. If anyone ever grows concerned about my true crime obsession, at least I can tell them I've never joined a club and murdered all my friends for sport!

i started my TMA experience here, then started using Spotify for a bit for it, but then realized i sorely missed the community and comment section under each episode on UKposts. y'all are great

Oh my gosh, did Basira start out trying to do a deep, professional voice like Jon at the beginning before going "nah"? I love that, I love her

Hmm. I wonder if that was hints that Daisy was of the Hunt for a bit and is now suffering withdrawal

If a group of pals just wanna hunt each other for sport, i see nothing wrong with that

Julia 2 episodes ago: I don't understand True Crime fans. Do they see no difference between fictional people and the people they haven't met? Lisa: Horror stories don't do it for me cuz they're fake, but finding all the details about how real people died...

no one's gonna talk about ananya and evelyn??? murder wives

When I heard Daisy’s knock I jumped so high. This podcast is not good for my health lol

the opening line of this statement absolutely DECIMATED me upon impact

"friends murder each other all the time" -shane madej

This feels like a mix between the hunt and the slaughter, both having each others themes in this episode. The hunt bc of some of the wording and how they hunted eachother, and The slaughter bc of the hint at music when lisa was grabbing the knifes, and the fact that no one really seems to know why they suddenly decided to start killing one another

"We were just about to dive in, where there was a knock on the door-" *insert knocking sound * Me, terrified: THATS ILLEGAL

her statement kind of reminds me of Jude's or Jane's. you can kind of hear the human part of them, that one that got them there, the one that finds it a bit weird now.

It’s just so funny to me that when she was engaged in the hunt, she was like ‘huh, this is weird, let me just make a statement real quick.’ And after that just went and continued

daisy is a . .. hunter ??? werewolf?? the mention of teeth growing sharper makes me think of werewolves and it fits with the whole vibe of The Hunt entity u kno;..

Daisy knocking on the door just after Basira read that there was a knock on the door is just perfect timing xD

Ep 109: Julia talking about how disgusting it is that some people treat real life tragedies like some fiction entertainment, how they lack empathy and feel excited those horrible things actually happened. Ep 112: HeHeHe MuRdEr ClUb (Thre fact they probably found amusement in talking about her dad... makes me so mad)

"dont want him grabbed again" yea this man just keeps getting kidnapped that now he just rolls with it and even got more useful info out of it so for Jon i think thats a win

That was the Hunt I guess ^^

My theory from this episode and what we know so far: This episode really supports what Gerry said in the last episode about the lines between the fears being blurred. It had elements of both the Hunt and the Slaughter, but I believe that the main fear here is the Hunt mostly because the Murder Club was so invested in the methods and timelines and statistics and how things happened how they happened and why and such, in other words they were too focused on the murders they were reading about for the main fear that was drawn to them to be the Slaughter 'cause the Slaughter, in my opinion, is very aimlessly just killing anyone, mostly focusing on the end result which is the killing/murder, while the Hunt is about the process and the thought behind the murder, if you know what I mean? I believe that in this episode we get the info that helps us distinguish which fear this episode is about when Lisa says she thought about testing her knife in her flatmate but she didn't because he wouldn't understand. If it was the Slaughter, she would have killed him, but because it is the Hunt instead, she was choosing her preys and the flatmate wasn't worthy enough to be a prey for her. Also, we're now also getting why the fears were also drawn by people who loved doing things that was somehow connected with them (like the skydiving episode or the diving episode or the cave one etc), it might be because, as Lisa described it, those activities still scare them but they like the scare and that's why they keep doing them. So, maybe the others also loved the thrill they were experiencing because of their fear, and that's what made the fears to be drawn to them. Now, for the part of Basira and Daisy, Basira is worried that Daisy might also be turning or turned into a part of the Hunt. But, from what they're talking about, maybe Basira was also linked with the Hunt too, because they're talking about some dreams/nightmares they both had but Basira, ever since she became linked with the Eye by working in the archives of the magnus institute, she stopped seeing them, while Daisy still is. And that's probably also why Elias chose to have Daisy been working for him without actually working for the magnus institute, because the avatars of the Eye are mostly passive, while the avatars of the Hunt are more active, and Elias needed an active pawn to do the his and the Eye's bidding.

Playing tag is a great way to spend time with your friends, even as adults! :D

whole statement read by basira, i'm in love

This case sounds a bit like the origins of the killer(s) known as Legion in Dead by Daylight

I love Daisy and Basira so much!! Hoping nothing too bad happens to them

Basira is a fast learner knowing when someone's been touched by the hunt

The thing that make me smile this episode is that 1) Daisy is a clingy one and wants to be with her partner, and 2) The narrator here... she is enjoying this. To hunt his friends, to be running from them. Amazing

That relatable moment when your friend group starts murdering each other

i love how everyone has their little things on how they start the statements

Hearing her door actually known gave me slight panic for a moment. Also, I love how casually they talk about murdering Elias.

The Hunt's favorite story must be The Most Dangerous Game

this is what the true consentual relationships are all about

I had the strongest sense of deja vu regarding Basira and Alice' end conversation, when Alice said "I'm not one of your bloody puzzles" until "worry about yourself". I can't figure out if we've already heard some similar conversation or if it's just me being crazy

The poor person who took this statement. Yeesh!

I feel like the last 2 episodes feel like RQ just bullying the viewers for liking fear and I for one enjoy it

The Hunt is the whole reason I started listening to this series, really. Aesthetic blogs got my attention and I asked about it. Now I'm here.

When she described the bit of her friends not running when they had a chance, I just knew she had a pack.

I feel like we've heard about a couple named Ananya and Evelyn before...

Reminds me of something a friend of mine (couple years younger) was in with her classmates. They were having a Nerf war, so I drove her around for a night, trying to get the drop on someone else, haha. Obviously much more wholesome than everything that happened in this. O.o

Aaaah this is very cool because I've been to the True Crime Museum of Hastings and it was fascinating! I'm getting nostalgic listening to this ^^

this is personally one of my favorite episodes

I definitely feel like the first part of the Murder Club, the part where they all descended on the guy and killed him was more Slaughter like, but it's almost like they're obsession with true crime, the "organized" killings of serial killers opened them up for the Hunt to take influence. Like the Slaughter marked Fears influence on them but they chose the Hunt for themselves.

One of my favorite episodes, such a fun and delightfully strange and primal concept

Soo Daisy knocked just as the statement got to that part FORESHADOWING AND I DONT LIKE IT

I think this is quite possibly my favourite episode of The Magnus Archives so far, alongside Stranger and Stranger

"Okay, I know how it sounds but murder club wasn't supposed to be like this." Uh oh.

What was that end tapping? Is it why Basira and Daisy needed air? Is it code between them?

7:33 Ayyyy Lithuania mentioned! Always fun to hear even if it's just for a second

Great episode!! Also I need more interactions between Basira and Daisy, I want them to be partnets again ❤️

Seems like multiple entities can or can’t have their hold over people??? I’m not sure yet

I might be an avatar of the hunt becouse the idea of a friend group consentually hunting eachother seems appealing, I might just need help tho

Two lesbians just hanging out in a supernatural basement. They might kiss !

Seems like Daisy is becoming a part of it the Hunt, she's been hunting down monsters and hunted down peoole.

honestly every episode i need to skip the music intro because thats actually the one thing that *really* creeps me out

Murder club should be the name of my creative writing class

I originally though this was The Slaughter because of the inaudible music she taps her toe to. It's now obviously the Hunt

Low level dread. I love Basira!

aw the talk at the end ):

You guys are seriously the best!!!!! My client told me about your channel several weekes ago, and i just cannot stop listening to your podcasts!

So, was this the slaughter or the hunt? It seems huntish, but she said that it was like a dance when they first killed the guy, and that she tapped her foot to music. Music is more the Slaughter's thing, right? Drums of war?

anyway murder club killed me in one hit

I actually think what they are talking about isn't their actual plan and just another distraction but maybe I'm over thinking this

is daisy related to the hunt somehow?

I'm assuming this is some aspect of slaughter? One of the gods that were mentioned in the last episode

Daisy: comes in while Basira reads about the Hunt, and knocks on the door just as a Hunter arrives in the story Me, slightly-bitter with future knowledge: real subtle, guys

Elias: Got me a Huntress doin' some killin, got me a Slaughterwurst tryin to kill me, got me Tim the Desolator, killin it on the dance floor, got me them randomly appearing distortion doors. Got me the NotThem stuck in a book, but two Lonelies so I should trade one away, got the Buried in a coffin, I am assembling the ultimate team. The Web:

Yep, this just reminds me of some anime * W * about teens killing each other, and having time loops.

statement by light yagami

This episode feels like it’s calling out the audience.

112 episodes and Hastings finally gets a mention! 💗 cursed town

that is actually what true crime fans are like, it's true

oh this has to be a favourite of mine

Daisy and Basira casually bonding is kind of cute ngl

It’s cool being able to guess which fear each episode is about, I think this one is about the hunt Edit: :)

Daisy actually knocking was just french kiss

Average true crime fan tbh

Murder club rly was a Murder club

Look at the other comments, they'll say it better < w

the tw listenings for this ep said “death of gay”

Awe❤ Daisira

tl;dr: Hotline Miami player turns a serial killer fangirl/fanguy club into a slasher movie Battle Royale

Start 1:05

The slaugther 🤝 The hunt

Does anyone else kinda love Basira and Daisy together?

Why do people keep calling Daisy "Alice"? Like I get that's her name but no one else calls her that.. Or is it some kind of fuck you to her?

dl h4h (hunter 4 hunter)

Spoiler rest of the season JON T-SHIRT! She noticed it when he came back and that's the moment she realised dreams are more than that. That's why she's so disturbed here. Gosh I love relistening

Book club gets attacked by low cost fursuiter - all members end up killing eachother

I'm sorry, 40 years old is OLD now?!

Daisy loves Basira 🥺🤌
