Columbo - Any Old Port in a Storm

About this episode

The hosts discuss the Columbo episode 'Any Old Port in a Storm' and its connections to Ace Attorney.

Join us as Ben, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! This episode we've got a real doozy for you: the iconic Donald Pleasence performance from "Any Old Port in a Storm!" Columbo meets a murderer who is equal parts hate-able, relatable, and truly obsessed with wine. The two seemingly hit it off despite Columbo's pursuit of the truth, which results in a fascinating episode with plenty of great conversations and meandering investigations. We also discuss reaching the age of birding, Escape from New York, and our pivot in plans for next episode as well. May our enemies never be as happy as we are at this moment!
