Today, we look at the Only Murders in the Building opening title Easter Egg for the ninth episode of Season 3, “Thirty.”
In Pop Culture Easter Eggs, I share with you pop culture “easter eggs.” An easter egg is a joke/visual gag/homage/in-joke that is hidden in works that you are meant to find (just like an easter egg). They range from the not-so-obscure to the really obscure. So come check ’em all out and enjoy!
The excellent Hulu TV series, Only Murders in the Building, created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman and starring Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, has a brilliant opening title sequence that include Easter Eggs hinting as to the plot of the episode in question.
Season 3 is currently airing, so I’ll share the easter egg for each episode after it airs.
Obviously, SPOILERS AHEAD!
THIRTY
This is a simple one. The three heroes of the show, Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short) and Mabel (Selena Gomez) have reunited as a murder-solving, podcast-having team, and their reunion is celebrated in the Easter Egg at the top of the episode…
There’s even a BONUS Easter Egg of the three working together later on in the credits…
