Episode Details

The kids are crazy for Columbo! This week our friend Bill Black drops by to talk about the long-running detective show starring Peter Falk that's seen an unlikely resurgence in the COVID era. From its weird class dynamics and parade of villainous guest stars to Falk's truly iconic performance, we explore what makes Columbo's stories, characters, and rhythms so different from the binge-watchable content of the digital era, and try to wrap our minds around its sudden popularity among a new generation.
