  • Deadly State of Mind actor

    The victim in this episode also played the would-be father-in-law in the movie Arthur. He was equally terrifying in that movie!

  • They spent a ton of time speaking about other TV shows, movies, the movie business and other irrelevant topics. It was hard to sit through all this chaff to get to the tiny bits of wheat that they grant us.

  • A different but great take on the legend that is Columbo

    One of my favourite podcasts.

    Love the way they have a meal / drink etc based on what was in that actual episode.

    And yes, as a Columbo geek - Liz and Paul do know their stuff
