Prescription: Murder (1968)

The film/TV movie that started off the whole Columbo thing. Why post this? Because I have been doing a podcast these last few months with sometime-FakeCriterions contributor "Calamity" Jon Morris. It's called Just One More Thing.

Basically, a guest joins us each time to go through the series, episode by episode, but not in order. You can also listen via iTunes, follow us on Twitter and right here on Tumblr.

If you like Columbo, give a listen.
