Body Double is amazing, a Vertigo and Rear Window combined remake.  De Palma’s Hitchcock obsession was never stronger.

Agreed. I miss him so much.

I have potentially good news!

Between this and the Boseman omission, I’m wondering if Tucker Carlson is the new AV Club editor.

It’s funny that they refer to in the article as never seen on camera since she had her own spin-off but I guess they meant never seen in the main show. Or else they didn’t know about it either.

PULL THE STRING!

He did want to make one more Columbo and they had a script called Columbo’s Last Case which he wanted to do but alas.

THAT’S the one.

Most of the non-Columbo NBC Mystery Movie offerings were middling, but Banacek was easily the best of the non-Columbo offerings. Gotta love the bogus Polish proverbs like "The truly wise man never plays leapfrog with a unicorn." 

Richard Kiley, not Widmark

People also like fun.  Colombo was fun.  Knives Out was fun.  L&O is not fun.

That was such a good episode. I kept scrolling through this list expecting to see it, and was a little surprised it was excluded.

Season 3, Episode 20 needs to be on here: ‘Good-bye.’

Is there no one left in entertainment that isn’t a ginormo-gantuan piece of shit?

My roster of unplayed games (you call it a backlog, I call it a retirement plan) is in triple digits. I’ve bought exactly two of those games at full price.

Season 1 of Night Court got a proper DVD release, but that’s it - probably because Season 1 sucked and half the cast was different so no one bought it. It was doomed from the start.

I’m a big fan of the sub-sub-genre of “movies where Sam Neill goes nuts” - In the Mouth of Madness, Event Horizon, Possession, etc. Think of how much better the terrible final Jurassic World movie would be if Sam Neill went crazy and started thinking he was a dinosaur and killed and ate Chris Pratt!

“High tech green screen” would probably be my dinner-party explanation of it. Maybe “advanced rear-projection,” but I can already hear my friends drifting off to sleep.

The ITV Murder of Roger Ackroyd is totally fine. It can’t do the literary device of the novel, clearly, but it still works.

Go watch “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” and then come back and do this list all over!
