The Columbo Files

I love Columbo and and pretty much all retro murder mysteries. Listening to this podcast scene by scene brings them back to my memory like I just watched them yesterday. I love all the details. Could live without some of the bad language. I’ve always held to the idea that you don’t have to use vulgarity to get your idea or point across. But otherwise this is a great podcast.

I really tried to like this show, but it only gets worse over time. Both of these guys miss so much, get details from the show wrong, lack historical knowledge, and are CONSTANTLY mixing metaphors / using words incorrectly. Overall, it just makes for a clunky, awkward listen where you wish you could talk to the hosts and tell them all of the things that they’re getting wrong.

I love this podcast! I hope they come back with more episodes soon!

I enjoyed John and Antonicus’ take on Columbo enough the first time through that I’m now going back through from the beginning and giving them another listen. I particularly love the depths they’ve gone to research the cast and crew. A lot of that is fun to listen to and not something other Columbo shows have dug into as deeply. Hope they’re able to return for more episodes soon!
