New episode out now! We finally cover one of TV\\u2019s greatest crime-solvers\\u2060\\u2014Columbo! We watched the season three episode titled \\u201cLovely But Lethal\\u201d and get into this \\u201870s (and \\u201890s) era sleuth. We discuss our initial feelings about the man himself, point out how bothersome he seems when you first watch the show, and debate how effective his methods actually are. We come up with Columbo\\u2019s-wife-theories, dig the \\u201870s fashion, and wonder if Columbo is actually an incidental character in his own show. We also talk about the changing landscapes of cop shows and how while Columbo catches intelligent murderers by essentially breaking them down and catching them in a lie, modern shows need more evidence-based buildup that would hold up in the courts. Katy basically gives a lecture, Carrie does an impression of Thomas Mitchell,  Maddy shares cool medicinal facts, and Mack starts a new support group. We talk about the confusing history of the show\\u2019s run, wish we could see Columbo at a farmer\\u2019s market, and all try Columbo accents with varying success. We also rip on BBC Sherlock, love Vincent Price, and learn about wigs. Give it a listen to hear more!

Oh, and just one more thing\\u2026.Enjoy!
