  • Summary

  • Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! Today we're watching the first episode of the original Columbo TV movies, "Murder by the Book!" This excellent introduction to the character is a favorite of ours already, so we're thrilled to rewatch it and talk about it here! We talk about Peter Falk, Jack Cassidy, and how this episode was directed by Steven Spielberg! We also have our usual tangents about Ken Penders, Doogie Howser, and the most important thing of all: conversation pits. Also discussed are the wonderful use of light and shadow in the episode, how Columbo is like Jaws, and why does Columbo need so many bowls to make a omelette?? Find out the answers to SOME of this and more in today's pod!

    NEXT TIME: G.K. Chesterton's "The Innocence of Father Brown"
