On this, the final episode of Columbo, Columbo must wade into the seedy made-for-tv world of early 2000s rave culture.  Matthew Rhys stars as a club promoter who gets stuck in a web of murder to protect his club opening. Came along one last time with The Columboys as they watch ABC wring the last little bit of juice out of the Columbo property and say farewell to this beloved character.

Columboys

69 - Columbo Likes the Nightlife

In the penultimate episode of Columbo, Billy Connoly plays a murderous film composer who's hatched the perfect melody... for MURDER. Okay maybe that doesn't make any sense but then neither does this episode of Columbo.

68 - Murder With Too Many Notes

It's the final return of Columboys favorite Patrick McGoohan in the directing and starring roles. In this Modernish Classic episode of Columbo, McGoohan plays a funeral home director who murders beloved Golden Girls star Rue McClanahan to protect his reputation. We've all thought about it, but only Patrick had the guts to actually go through with it!

67 - Ashes to Ashes

We're back from our brief and unannounced hiatus! In this episode the wife of a crooked millionaire and a forensic pathologist conspire to frame the husband for murder. Can the Columboys figure it out before Columbo? They show you who did it in the beginning so I certainly hope so! Mack looks at his phone a lot but I mean come on, dude.

66 - A Trace of Murder

George Wendt plays a horse breeder who murders his irresponsible brother and pins it on a mob bookie. Can Columbo catch this criminal without breaking numerous laws and getting help from the actual mafia? Apparently not! We're in the home stretch! Only five episode of Columbo left!

65 - Strange Bedfellows

In this episode Columbo is looking for buried treasure, and also a murderer sure why not. The audio in this one is a little rough but the Columboys are more than up to the challenge!

64 - Undercover

A pompous radio host murders an investigative reporter to stop his daughter from becoming a novelist. This episode stars William Shatner in the mustache of a lifetime. Meanwhile the Columboys are slowly going insane from isolation. 

63 - Butterfly in Shades of Grey

Faye Dunaway plays a murderous matriarch who tries to seduce Columbo to throw him off her trail. The Columboys, who don't have anything else to criticize about this episode, spend an unreasonable amount of time talking about the sound effects.

62 - It's All in the Game

After a couple weeks off because Mack got married, Columboys is back with a brand new episode, and by new I mean it's an episode that was recorded two months ago about a show that was released in 1992. This time Tyne Daly and Greg Evigan (or as my spellcheck would rather I typed: Tyre Day and Greg Evian) are unintentional conspirators in the murder of a football team owner. It's a fun episode!

61 - A Bird in the Hand

Columbo mus track down the kidnapper of his nephew's bride, in this incredibly un-Columbo episode of Columbo. Meanwhile the Columboys are struggling with their sanity. Will the podcast survive this quarantine?! Yes obviously. It's really easy to record remotely and they've been doing that for months. It's not a big deal. Thanks for listening.

Columboys - 60 - No Time to Die

Rip Torn is a jeweler who murders his lottery-winning nephew to solve his financial woes. I mean that's what happens in the show. That's not actually what happened to Rip Torn in his real life. Please don't edit Rip Torn's Wikipedia entry to say he's a broke jewelry store owner/murderer.

Columboys - 59 - Death Hits the Jackpot

Columbo is on the trail of Dabney Coleman who, along with his accomplice: his moustache, murdered his rock star lover to keep her from blackmailing him. meanwhile the Columboys discuss the May Day protests in Mack's neighborhood when this was recorded, and talk about safely protesting during a pandemic, a topic which will have no relevancy here a month later. Alright, that's the episode description down, now to take a big sip of coffee and check the news...

Columboys - 58 - Columbo and the Murder of a Rock Star

Smoking kills, especially when your cigarettes have been laced by a murderous TV host, played by George Hamilton. The Columboys discuss this surprisingly solid episode of 90's Columbo.

57 - Caution: Murder Can Be Hazardous to Your Health

The Columboys are going back to school! Columbo must catch a couple of frat boy murderers who kill their professor to prevent him from exposing them for cheating on a test. Seems like a bit of an overreaction...

Columboys - 56 - Columbo Goes To College

A loathsome lothario murders his lover when his lecherous libido is lobbed into the light. Meanwhile the Columboys are slowly going crazy in quarantine. Enjoy!

Columboys - 55 - Murder in Malibu

Columboys is a podcast all about the rumpled, wood-paneled, murderous world of Lieutenant Columbo hosted by Mack and Ben. Mack has seen every episode and Ben is seeing them all for the very first time. Episodes are released every other Sunday. Come along on an episodic journey through the 35 year history of this beloved series.
