By George Dickie A podcast and a resolve to inves- tigate "Only Murders in the Build- ing" bring together an unlikely mix of New York apartment dwellers in a so-named comedic murder mys- tery series upcoming on Hulu. In the eight-episode series that begins streaming Tuesday, Aug. 31, a grisly murder in the Arconia, an exclusive Upper West Side apart- ment building, brings together three strangers: Charles Hayden Savage (Steve Martin), a veteran actor whose claim to fame is for playing a TV detective decades ago; Oliver (Martin Short), a New York stage director with major money problems; and Mabel (Selena Go- mez), a mysterious young woman with a link to the victim and no ap- parent means that would enable her to reside at the pricey address. All are true-crime aficionados and fans of the podcast "All Is Not OK in Oklahoma." Soon, the oddly matched trio resolve to probe the slaying and start a podcast "Only Murders in the Building" to docu- ment their investigation. The series was created by Martin and John Hoffman ("Grace & Frankie," "Looking") with Short and Gomez also getting executive producer credits here. "I'm actually a true crime — 'fan' is the wrong word, but I'm inter- ested in it," Martin explains. "I'm interested in the solving of crime. I really like that. And so I had this idea ... . This is one the most un- usual things I've ever done because it actually has a plot. I usually don't do things with plots." With a long partnership dating back to "Three Amigos!" in the mid-80s, "Only Murders in the Building" represents yet another effort from Martin and Short. The addition of Gomez, best known for her stint as Alex in Disney Chan- nel's "Wizards of Waverly Place," to the pair of septuagenarians may seem an odd match, but Short reports that the 29-year-old actress fit right in. "What I love about the end prod- uct of the show," Short says, "is the three different energies of the actors. I kind of play it very real. Steve goes way over the top. And Selena grounds everything in this kind of dry, hilarious delivery. And the combination, I think, is perfect. And it was a dream to work with this brilliant, young lady." For her part, Gomez was under- standably apprehensive to be work- ing with two comedy legends but those nerves vanished quickly. "I didn't know what to expect be- cause sometimes I find that comedy people can sometimes be a little bit distant and so I didn't know what I was getting myself into," she ex- plains. "And now I have like these two crazy uncles in my life that basically give me boy advice and I sing rap songs to them." "Naughty rap songs, I have to add," Martin quips.
