The second of five episodes about the actor, writer and director Robert Culp. Film critic Phuong Le joins me, Ranjit S. Ruprai, to talk about our Columbo-based friendship, with an in-depth discussion on a later 90s episode and the first episode of “non-canonical” Mrs Columbo, both guest starring Robert Culp.

Main items of discussion

• Mrs. Columbo S01 E01: Word Games (1979)
• Columbo S10 E01: Columbo Goes To College (1990)
• Her Life As A Man (1984) 
• Highway To Heaven S03 E21 Parents’ Day (1987)

We also mention

• Coppola’s The Conversation (1974)
• Hitchcock’s Rope (1948)
• Carol Lynn Mither’s Village Voice article “My Life As A Man”… which doesn’t seem to be online but here is a contemporaneous article about the related TV movie: Her Life As A Man Tonight On NBC

Columbo at the club!

• Phuong was trying to remember this episode from 2003: Columbo Likes the Nightlife
• Ranjit misremembered the 70s club scene as being from the Nicol Williamson episode when it was actually from 1977 episode: The Bye-Bye Sky High I.Q. Murder Case
