Victorian era
Mission Impossible, Sherlock Holmes, Carnage, all hit the big screens this weekend
It’s a weekend of new movies, though most are in somewhat limited release. Of the three big debuts, Mission Impossible seems to be generating the most positive buzz, especially when considering this is the fourth issue from a series that had sputtered recently.

WNYC’s Sarah Montague traces the character’s evolution and reveals how Holmes keeps changing to suit the times.
