Between Knives Out and Rian being a huge Columbo fan, I am extremely onboard for this. Although, Peacock is dogshit and I hate using it.

zoux posted:Is it only streaming on Prime through IMDB with ads or is there a place I can stream it ad free? And no I won't be stealing Columbo episodes, I'd surely be caught by my overconfidence and underestimation of the investigating detective. That’s how I’ve been watching it, not sure if there’s an alternative. I just watch it on my Xbox because I’m lazy but if you watch it in a browser with an adblocker it’ll skip almost all of the ads.

There are so many great bits where a suspect is surprised to find Columbo knocking on their loving window or sitting in their living room reading a book. “Oh gee I didn’t mean ta’ impose, but uhhh while I’m here ya mind if I ask a few more questions?”

Aardvark! posted:I always thought the "oh and one more thing" bit was overemphasized but no, he does it multiple times in the same conversation! I think he did it 3 times in one scene in the one I just watched. It’s a bit of a “Beam me up, Scotty” situation where he doesn’t literally say “oh and one more thing” every time, but oh god yeah he always does that oh btw act as his gotcha. I’ve only seen the first three seasons, but the only time I can recall him breaking his own routine is the Leonard Nimoy one where Columbo gets pissed off and just lays his entire case against him on the table and says he’s coming for him.

It makes me comfortable going to the store masked. This is pretty much where I’m at. I’ll be happy to just hang with vaccinated friends finally and not have panic attacks in crowded stores anymore, but you probably won’t find me at a movie theater, indoor concert, or a baseball game until 2022. And that really sucks, but that’s the way it is now thanks to all the selfish fucks out there.

The ILD soundtrack has been part of my usual rotation since the day I saw it in theaters. I love that movie so much and it’s the reason I’ll give pretty much any Oscar Isaac project a shot. Sirotan posted:Thanks to this thread I now feel officially Old. It's 8pm, I'm tired and thinking of going to bed early, and I'm laying here watching Columbo for the first time ever. It's kinda enjoyable? One of us! One of us! Gooble gobble one more thing! Season 1 is great, there’s only one or two mediocre episodes. Season 2 is even better.

Alright, I think I’ve found my favorite example of “Columbo trolls his murder suspect” thus far. Season 3, episode “Double Exposure”; the suspect is out high-stakes golfing with friends and about to take a shot when Columbo comes barreling out of nowhere in a golf cart shouting “Mr. [Suspect]! Oh Mr. [Suspect]!” and then in their resulting conversation only drops his gotcha bombshells as the guy is about to take his shots. It’s another Robert Culp guest spot too, so it’s a great episode.

Vanderdeath posted:I know Piesse was part of the franchise beforehand but now it's known she was a willing participant in a sex cult that trafficked women. Even if she feels bad about it now, I feel like the whole sex cult thing should preclude you from being in a Disney show. (All shows imo) Unless I’m forgetting parts of The Vow, Piesse was one of the cult’s victims and ended up escaping not long after her “initiation” into the actual sex part of the cult.

I’m watching an episode of Columbo guest-starring Miguel Ferrer’s dad, Jessica Walter, Robby the loving Robot, and a kid character named Steven Spelberg who apparently invented Robby. Also there’s a running gag of Columbo trying to get all these characters to watch his dog while he investigates. I love this show.

I love season 4, but the remixed version that Netflix now features is a loving atrocity. It ruins so many great jokes. If you end up watching season 4, which you should, watch it in the original order which iirc Netflix has now buried in the Trailers & More section.

Gene Hackman Fan posted:because he's the rare example of a good cop: I’m only through the first couple eps of season 4 and Columbo hasn’t really featured many POC characters, but the few times it has they’ve just been treated like any other person on the show. The only exception I’ve seen so far was the last episode I watched, where a black character came looking for a murder victim because they hadn’t shown up to a meeting and when one of the LAPD patrolmen at the scene immediately started accusing and hassling him Columbo came over and told the cop to back off because he didn’t believe the guy had anything to do with the murder. I mean it’s baby steps and all and maybe I’m reading way too much into it, but for a mid-70s show to 1)have a beat cop show racial bias and 2)have the protagonist of the show call this out as wrong was kinda refreshing. You don’t even consistently get that from modern cop shows.

Aardvark! posted:ah. i've only watched a random selection of the seasons so didn't know. that is a shame, alien horror is my favorite horror. Tbf, part of the problem was that they were more of a secondary or tertiary antagonist force in that season and most of it was only in the last few episodes. It might be better if they go whole hog and only have aliens.

I’d be a lot more hyped for new MST3k if they were also going with a brand new host. I like the revival’s Mads and I like the bots now that they’ve found their voices, but uhhhh Jonah sucks. His personality just doesn’t mesh with MST imo. Joel is a tired everyman, and Mike is sarcastic and irreverent, but Jonah just comes off like what he is; a mediocre LA stand-up guy trying way too hard to be funny on Movie Night with his friends.

Nah. MST has opening and ending skits, an established setting, and breaks in the movie. Rifftrax doesn’t do any of that, it’s essentially just a running commentary track for the video.

feedmegin posted:I don't think most people are watching it for the skits and setting fundamentally though. Probably not, but I do think having the cheap sets and puppets made from scraps does give the show a unique charm that a lot of other riffing projects lack. It’s not necessary and it’s not the big draw, but it adds something.

I used to hate watching 70s poo poo because it always looked so disgusting and lovely and batshit, but now I really dig it for some reason. There’s something really appealing (?) about the clash of played out late-60s design leftovers with the polluted malaise of 70s reality. Even the people look worn down and schlubby, which makes sense given what society had gone through in the 60s and would continue to go through in the 70s. It’s great, it’s like instant no-effort character for your setting.

muscles like this! posted:Finn Wittrock has been cast as Guy Gardner for HBO Max's Green Lantern series. The article has more details on the series than I had seen before, mainly that it is going to take place over decades starting with Alan Scott in the 40s and moving forward in time with other Lanterns. Specifically Wittrock's Guy Gardner will be Earth's Green Lantern in the 1980s. The older I get the less I can stand Guy, so sure why not who cares. Kyle was my intro to comics GL anyway and John was my favorite in the Justice League cartoon, so it figures that DC would continue to ignore both of them. Probably better off that way anyhow.

IRQ posted:I didn't think Guy Fieri's show was about turning around failing restaurants though, just highlighting shitholes people already liked? Yeah, Guy just shows up and samples their popular dishes and peaces out. Although I do remember in the early days a couple of tiny local places that got famous couldn’t handle the new attention and had to close because their food standards slipped in an effort to try and keep up with demand. Not necessarily Guy’s fault though, and the past year has shown that he’s probably one of the most decent human beings on Food Network.
