Show Notes

Gali and Devlin are back with another classic Columbo episode discussion - 1977’s Try & Catch Me, featuring Academy Award-winning Hollywood legend Ruth Gordon as an unusually sympathetic perpetrator, a famous mystery novelist driven to kill in revenge. “Is there murder in our civilized hearts? Obviously, there is in mine, and I'm well-paid.”
