Columbo: Murder Under Glass (1978) w/ Chris Woodward
Oh, just one more thing... it's a new ALTMANIA coming down the chubes for you all, this week we're joined by our dear friend Chris Woodward to talk about Jonathan Demme's episode of COLUMBO. Made in a down period of his career, hot off the flop of CITIZEN'S BAND; a fortuitous phonecall comes in the form of Peter Falk, who happened to be part of the handful of people to see that movie. He hires Demme on to direct an episode centered around the restaurant biz and a murder involving rare fish! We get into all things Columbo, our love for the show - a new love for one host and a returning favorite for the other - all of the fun idiosyncracies Peter Falk brings to the character, his populist appeal, his devotion to the show and character, the writers banging their head on the wall trying to adhere to the show's quirky structure, how the show made a good vehicle for up-and-coming filmmakers, and a whole lot more on ALTMANIA...Follow Chris Woodward:Podside Picnichttps://patreon.com/PodsidePicnichttps://twitter.com/cww_0Follow Altmania:https://altmaniapod.comhttps://estebannoel.comJONATHAN DEMME ARCHIVESupport us on Patreon:https://patreon.com/altmania
