Pop Culture Mysteries is a new feature on the Bookshelf Battle Blog, hosted by a storytelling nerd of world renown, the one and only Bookshelf Q. Battler!
Jake Hatcher, a hardboiled 1950’s film noir detective in the tradition of Sam Spade and Phillip Marlowe, has agreed to solve one hundred pop culture mysteries and file his reports right here on bookshelfbattle.com

LADY: Oh Detective, can you solve the Mystery of Why BQB Only Has 3.5 Readers?
HATCHER: Because he stinks worse than a swamp at low tide, ma’am. Now that’ll be five bucks.
SOME CASES CURRENTLY ON HATCHER’S TO-DO LIST:
1) How the hell did Doc and Marty from Back to the Future know each other?
2) Why didn’t Rose take a seat in one of the life boats so Jack could keep that lousy piece of driftwood in Titanic?
3) Who shot first? Han or Greedo?
All these and more coming soon…but first up tomorrow…What happened to the original Brady Bunch spouses?
