UNLEASH THE GEEK IN YOU!!!
Hey, hey, hey, it's Chaos Queen here, and you're
listening to the Geekcast Radio Network. Hey,
it's Mistress Carrie, and you are listening to
Studio 2009. It's a lot more than any $10 trophy
they're going to hand you. Not tonight, please.
Darling, if you're embarrassed by all your millions,
why don't you just sign them over to me? They
wouldn't embarrass me in the least. Money is
a weapon, Mark. A tool to be used for good, if
it's used properly. Properly, I see. That means
handing it out like Halloween candy to a bunch
of grifters who've never done a day's work in
their life. Because nobody has ever given them
a chance. Oh, come on. You know what it's like
to be an ex -convict trying to find honest work?
Margaret, please. Please, don't lecture me on
ex -cons. I wrote that book. There is nothing
wrong with your podcast player. Do not attempt
to adjust the volume. Hello and welcome back
into Studio 2009, only on the Geekcast Radio
Network. I'm, of course, Tio Tio and Mike, and
joining me once again is that good old detective,
Dave Draper. Hey, Dave, how are you? Not yet.
Yet? What? I'm not sure about getting better,
but I'm not dead yet. Oh, not dead yet. No, no
dying. No dying allowed. No dying allowed. I'm
not sure about feeling happy, but you know, whatever.
You started the Python nonsense. What? Go away
or I shall taunt you a second time. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. I was talking about my Gatorade bottle.
I wasn't talking about you. I'm aware. Anyway,
today we will... What? I was gonna... I can't
remember what the phrase was. You started it.
You started it. You broke the seal. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Today we continue on our journey. Actually,
we finish this part of the journey as we put
our trench coats on. That's right. Trench Coats
on and jump back in time with Columbo. These
are the Columbo Files here inside Studio 2009.
Starting at the beginning, going all the way
in order. Obviously, TubiTV is the main source
for all the episodes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Walk
it out and just be happy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Season
3, Episode 8. And we all need a friend indeed
sometimes. It's based on the old expression,
a friend in need is a friend indeed. Instead
of indeed as one word, it's indeed as an inaction.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Absolutely. And, oh boy,
this episode. It's interesting. I always say
I like it when they play with the formula. Not
only is the structure of the murders and the
mystery different, but this is probably one of
his toughest opponents. Because this is a police
commissioner. Like, this guy could take him out.
In fact, he almost does at the end. He almost
does, yeah. You just lost your badge. Yep. No,
she had to have drowned before six. Maybe even
before five. Otherwise it wouldn't have been
that dry. Long before Jessup got there. As a
matter of fact, just about the time that you
came home for supper. I believe you killed your
wife. And I believe you either killed Janice
Caldwell or you're covering up for it. You just
lost your badge, my friend. Yeah, I... It's very,
very well done episode. It's a twisty, turny,
winding road of an episode. It's 94 minutes,
but that 94 minutes feels like 187 minutes to
me. It definitely felt like, I mean, it did feel
long. Yeah, it felt very long. And I'm not saying
that is a general bad thing. No, no. I'm just
saying there is so much that they were able to
cram into this 94 -minute episode. And this is
a testament to the people who work on Columbo.
I mean, it really, really is. Because, yeah.
I mean, wow. Just amazing that they were able
to do this this way. Written by Peter S. Fisher.
Directed by Ben Gazzara. Who was an actor. Fairly
well known back in the day. Oh, very cool, very
cool. This aired May 5th, 1974. These were still
in 74. Yep, still in 74. So this would have ended
the May of 74, 73, 74 sweeps. So it would have
been May sweeps. If sweeps were a thing in the
70s, I don't know. I believe they were. Okay.
So Richard Kiley? I'm going to say Kylie because
it's spelled Kylie. You've heard him before,
Mike. Here is the Tyrannosaurus Rex. He was the
voice in the car for Jurassic Park. I get to
Transformers U for once and go back to one of
my obsessions. There you go. Very cool. That's
awesome. Yep. He was a fairly well -known actor
back in the day. Yeah, absolutely. He plays Mark
Halpern, and Michael Maguire plays Hugh Caldwell.
Rosemary Murphy plays Margaret Halpern, and an
uncredited actress as Janice Caldwell. If her
role was slightly less developed than Marianne
in the last episode. I mean... That's like Daisy
Ridley's first role. Corpse. Yeah, I mean...
So the story on this one is that Hugh Caldwell
is neighbors with Richard Kiley's character,
who is the police commissioner. They're friends,
and they're in the same social status, and he
had a fight with his wife and killed her. This
all happens before the show even begins. She's
already dead, and he's freaking out about it,
so he wants to talk to his buddy, who's the police
commissioner. He calls the house, and Richard
Kiley's wife is like, no, he's not here. He's
at the club. It goes to the club, and it's established
pretty quickly that Richard Kiley's kind of a
freewheeling character himself. He's got girls
hanging on him, he's gambling, poking a big old
cheroot. And so Caldwell basically gets him out
of the game and explains that he's killed his
wife. It was a fight. It was an act of passion.
He didn't mean to kill her. And this twigs something
in Richard Kiley's brain. It's one of those situations
that happens a lot in Columbo. We think a lot
of things happen a lot in Columbo that don't
seem to. He doesn't have any money. His wife
has the money. He resents that. He comes up with
a scheme. He agrees to help his friend cover
up the fact that the wife got murdered. In the
back of his mind, he's got a plan. A friend in
need is a friend in deed. There's been a series
of... robberies in the neighborhood. He stages
his whole thing. He gets into the house and he
has Hugh go to a bar and hang out all night and
pretend to call his wife. Richard Kiley's in
Hugh's house staging everything. Then the husband
calls from the bar and has a fake conversation
with the wife to establish his alibi. He makes
it look like this robber who's been in the neighborhood
has murdered the wife. And he goes home, which
is next door, and he's standing out on the balcony,
and he's like, hey, do you see this guy over
here at the Caldwell's house? And his wife's
like, what? And she comes up, and she doesn't
see anything, but he's like, he's already gone.
So that establishes, hey, this house was broken
into, and when the police get there, the wife's
dead. And so then plan B is then, you know, he
was like, oh, thank you so much for helping me,
and oh, it's not over yet. Phase two begins now.
So his wife is going to be like... His wife is
big into charities and stuff. There's this whole
sort of weirdly political... Because he's a police
commissioner, so he's like a conservative guy
where he's like, these people are bums and losers.
She's like, no, we've got to help people because
they never get a chance. Because when they go
to jail and they cut out, no one gives them a
break. He's like, yeah, they're scum. They're
useless. And she's getting a Woman of the Year
award. So as Columbo is investigating the murder
of the first wife, he uncovers some things. There's
a whole thing where Richard Kiley had dressed
her up in her dressing gown, but she had a habit
of putting her gown for the night underneath
her pillow, and it was still there. And Kiley
didn't know that. So it's like, well, why is
there this gown under here, but she's wearing
a gown that does – clearly whoever dressed her
didn't know her habits. And then another thing
is when he comes to visit Richard Calley's wife,
Margaret, I believe. Yes. Sorry, I'm not good
with names. She ends up tearing her outfit on
a cactus thorn. And she gives him some information
about the situation of the marriage. It wasn't
a good marriage. And that becomes relevant later
on because what happens is Richard Calley makes
this big thing. Oh, we're going to patrol the
neighborhood and we're going to double down on
the police force. And I'm going to be in this
helicopter searching neighborhood myself. Yep.
Because I saw this guy. My wife and I saw this
guy. And then what happens is he gets Hugh. He
comes home, and his wife's in the bath. He basically
drowns her in the bathtub. Basically drowns her,
yeah. No, basically he does. He drowns her in
the bathtub, and it's a bubble bath. There's
bubbles everywhere, which actually becomes plot
relevant. Yes. And he dresses her up in the clothes
she was wearing that day, which also becomes
relevant because, as I mentioned, it got torn.
Yep. And so when he's in the helicopter, he has
Hugh come in, like, dressed out in these clothes
with, like, a pantyhose over his head. Son, you
got a banyan on your head. Sorry, raising Arizona
reference. And, like, stagger out like Frankenstein,
holding the body. He's like, that's my wife.
That monster has my wife. And he throws her in
the pool. And so Richard Kiley makes this big
deal about jumping out of the helicopter, jumping
into the pool, and pulling her out. Oh, no, she
drowned in the pool. And the guy gets away. And
you can't blame me because I was clearly in this
helicopter with another guy and witnesses. Yeah.
And Columbo right away is like, check her lungs
for, check the water in her lungs for chlorine.
And the medical examiner says, well, you're not
going to find nothing. He's like, well, check
anyway. Yeah, check anyway. Check the lungs for,
yep. And then the guy shows up from the event
that the wife was supposed to go to. And Columbo's
like, well, she wouldn't have worn that outfit
to go to that event because it had a rip. I was
there when it got ripped. He knows something's
up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the initial setup.
Then there's this whole other subplot about the
actual thief who looks a lot like, what's his
name? I don't want to mention him because he's
a... He's in a very naughty business and apparently
he was not a nice guy and is in jail, I think,
now. On Jeremy. Oh, yes, yes. Mr. Pronstar. So,
anyway, of course, he's kind of put out by the
fact that everyone says that he's the murderer.
Yeah, he's just a thief. That becomes the crux
of the final solution. Columbo does this thing.
It's one of my favorite moments where Columbo
does this thing where he talks to the guy in
the robbery department because he's homicide.
If you had to analyze all these crimes, except
for the ones with the murders, who would you
pick to be the guy? He says, well, I'd pick this
guy. The burglar. The burglar, the actual burglar.
And so Columbo goes to that guy and says, look,
I know you're the guy that's been robbing these
places, but I know you didn't commit the murders.
Can you help me? This little scheme I have. Which
again, Columbo kind of, sometimes he skirts the
line on entrapment, I think. He convinced the
guy to get in this blackmail scheme with Campbell.
Caldwell. Yeah, it's a whole... It's very twisty.
It's got a lot going on. It's very twisty. It's
a lot going on. It almost feels like it's two
episodes in one. Even though it's the same time
length as every... It's the same 94 minutes,
but it just feels like it's so much longer than
94 minutes. It's got three... They're all connected,
but there's Caldwell, there's Richard Kiley,
and then there's the thief. Yep. And then there's
Columbo's car. Which is acting up this episode.
So... The point where, so when he first goes
to, during the day when Columbo drives up to
the house and he's talking to Mrs. Margaret.
He's talking to Margaret, yep. He backs out of
the driveway and he backs down the street to
park next to the house and he stops and he parks
there and I'm sitting here thinking, what? Why
would you drive backwards all the way? Why wouldn't
you? Okay, fine, Columbo, you do what you're
going to do. So he gets out of his car and he
does what he's going to do. He comes back to
the car. The car won't start. They already established
that the car had a dead battery earlier. Okay.
He shows up at the crime scene in the commissioner's
limo and he dropped a cigar. Yes, yes, yes. And
he doesn't want to blow up the commissioner's
limo, which, hey, that wouldn't be no real great
loss. But, yeah, okay. So the car had a dead
battery on it. All right, fine. My first thought,
though, was in that scene with the car on the
other side of the street after he talks to the
wife, man, you better check your tailpipe. Make
sure there's no banana in your tailpipe. That
was my first thought, even though this episode
takes place 10 years before that joke was ever
written. Well, they did that in an episode of
Columbo. Oh, did they? Remember they did that?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The potato. The potato.
That's right. The potato. Yeah. But that was
literally my first thought was, you better check
your own tailpipes, Columbo. But, okay, dead
battery. That was the culprit. That's right.
And then, like, surprisingly, like, it's a little
thing, because he flags down a car to help him
get help. Yeah. And I was like, well, you can't
do that in L .A. these days. No, you can't. Not
at all. And that's what I love about this show.
Seeing L .A. back then. Oh, man. What a completely
different town that was. Versus L .A. of today
or L .A. of even 10 years ago. It was still considered
a den of vice and wickedness. Yep. Because wickedness
was so cute and quaint back in those days. Guess
so. Well, I mean, you know, you gotta... Is it
this ep? Yeah, is this episode or is it the last
episode where he's like, I wish I wasn't this
tall. That was the one with Johnny Cash. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. He says it's a Pangborn, though.
Yeah, he says it's a Pangborn. It's like, oh,
man. Pangborn's like, why don't you join us with
the... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The air guy. He's
like, well, you've got to be a pilot. And it's
like, yeah, we'll train you to be a pilot. He's
like, I don't even like being this tall. This
tall, yeah. As a matter of fact, I don't even
like being this tall. I don't know. He just has
that quality of just... You just want to talk
to him, no matter what it is. It doesn't even
matter. That's why I think half the criminals
like him. I think that's his thing, is he's very
ingratiating. Yep. Because there's a lot of times,
I always think, because there was one time many,
many years ago, they did this thing at the local
Barnes & Noble where it was one of these murder
mystery things where it was like, you had to
play the investigator, right? And then people,
staff members were pretending, it was a Star
Trek one, so everyone was pretending to be a
cast member from Star Trek. And someone had committed
a murder, and you were supposed to ask them questions.
And in Columbo, these people would answer questions.
But in real life, people are like, I don't have
to tell you. I don't know. Nothing. It's like,
in Columbo, they tell you everything. Yeah. Absolutely.
Let's see. What else did I have written down
here? The only thing, and I understand, and maybe
it did take longer, because obviously we don't
see it on screen, but... It would have taken
the commissioner longer than the four seconds
of screen time that we see him strangling her.
Like, I know he pushed her down. I know he pushed
her under, but I'm assuming he's also still holding
her under and strangling her or whatever. Like,
that would have taken longer than what we actually
see. Like... Yeah, maybe she obviously wasn't
expecting it. She could have, like, breathed
in by mistake. Maybe. Maybe. Obviously, she did.
Yeah, because water is soap in her lungs. When
they check the lungs, they find soap. Yep. Yeah,
that's true. I mean, I guess because we've seen
Tyrannosaurus in San Francisco, I guess. Spend
your disbelief. San Diego. Whatever. It's all
California. Suspend your disbelief for a helicopter
in the backyard with the pool. Oh, boy. It wasn't
that big a helicopter, to be frank. It was a
pretty big backyard. Backyard, yeah. And then
at the end, what happens is at the end, because
Kylie is so focused on framing this guy, the
thief, Columbo lures him into a trap where he
messes with the files. He rents out an apartment
for him. But he uses that address. He puts that
address in the thief's file. When Richard Kiley
comes in and looks at the file, he sees that
address. So he gets the stuff that he stole from
the house, and he plants it in that apartment.
And so at the end, he's like, ha -ha, we found
the thief's apartment, and we found all these
stolen jewels. I was wondering where that was
going to go, and then I was like, oh, you sneaky,
sneaky, sneaky Columbo. That was the moment where
Columbo goes, sir, you killed your wife. He's
like, my friend, you just lost your badge. They
find the stolen things and it's like, ah, it
was in his apartment. He's like, but it's not
his apartment. It's my apartment. That's the
thing where he's like, my apartment, my underwear,
my brother -in -law, there was a picture of a
niece and nephew. Yep, niece and nephew. Absolutely.
So funny. So good. It almost reminded me of the
Is it Song of the Thin Man? It's one of the Thin
Man movies where it's an upstairs -downstairs
apartment thing where the murder happens downstairs
and upstairs people are, the criminal is watching
the person downstairs. It's a whole thing. But
this apartment scene at the end reminded me of
that. I was like, oh. Oh, I see what you did
there, Columbo. That's very good. But yeah, what
an episode to end the season on. Holy crap. Holy
crap. Yeah, this is really good. Anything else
on this one? Yeah, I think we got all the basics.
The car. We still, to this day, have not gotten
one more thing, sir. One more thing. No. To this
day. It's one of my favorite antagonists just
because, like, it's very rare that there are
any stakes for Columbo. Yes. At least in the
original NBC ones. Yeah. And that's by design.
I mean, he was going up against his boss. Yeah.
That made it a little more kind of exciting for
me. Yeah, and me too. I was like, oh, this is
really interesting. How is he going to go around
or get around or figure this out? How is he going
to? Work around. How are the bosses going to
trip him up? And the boss and the dude kept,
forget about all the murder stuff. Focus on the
robbery stuff. Blah, blah, blah. He's a murder
cop. He's not a burglary cop. Like, he's going
to focus on the murder. That's his job. The one
ball I think they would, like, just now thinking
about it, I think they dropped, was you would
think that a guy who works with Columbo would
know Columbo. You know what I mean? He should
have been a little bit better prepared for what
he was dealing with. Yeah, he should have been.
Because every episode previous to this, every
time Columbo has talked about his superiors,
even when he's talked about them as just a single
person, my superior, he's a very smart man. He'll
know this, or he'll know that, and I don't know
if it was supposed to be this specific character.
No, no, no, this guy's like two or three levels
above Columbo. Columbo's a lieutenant, and he'd
probably be his captain. Yeah, probably. And
this is the commissioner. The counter -argument
to my point would be that the commissioner probably
doesn't really have that much interaction with
a lieutenant. No, Columbo, like, He seems to
know who Columbo is. Columbo seems to get a lot
of cases solved. No, no, no. First of all, I'm
not even sure he's really talking about his superiors.
Is he really talking about his superiors or is
he talking about him? Those two guys don't interact
professionally in any kind of regular basis.
All right. Let's see. I don't think there's any
of the cast members we need to really go through.
We mentioned about Richard Kiley being the voice
of the Jurassic Park ride. So there's that. Yeah,
exactly. Spare no expense. Zero to five. Half
points. What are you going to give it? I'll give
this one a 4 .5. Yeah, I'm right there with you.
Four and a half. It was very remarkable. It's
very up there. Absolutely. All right, folks.
We are going to go to a quick podcast ad break.
You're going to hear some podcast ads and some
other stuff. We'll come back to close the show
right after this. I thought I saw something.
It was kind of a... Gut feeling, I suppose. I
told him to go back and to hover over the patio
area. I switched out the lights. There he was.
The same man holding Margaret in his arms. Are
you sure it was the same man? Well, I assume
that he... Yes, he was wearing the same clothes.
I see. You must have a lot of those, sir. What?
Gut feelings. What are you talking about? Well,
you had a gut feeling last night. I don't know
what you're talking about. What do you mean,
last night? When you asked for me to report to
the Caldwell house. Yes? I found out that you
asked for me when you first called in. I did.
What I mean, sir, is that the burglar had never
harmed anybody before. Yet from your bedroom
window, when you called in, you asked for me.
No, I was just trying to figure out how you knew
that the woman was already dead. I didn't. Didn't
know, obviously. But I did have some kind of
a feeling. I sensed something was wrong. Well,
the lights were on, for one thing, and the man
running from the house, the fact that Janice
was there alone, I... Well, you're a policeman.
I don't have to explain these things. Yes, sir,
I know exactly what you feel. I've got feeling
many times. You know something is wrong. You
just can't get a handle on it. All right, sir.
I'm going to, uh... Look around the house. If
it's all right with you, maybe the man got careless.

we still haven't, as of this recording, we still
haven't recorded the middle section of the summer.
So this is, you'll hear this sometime in the
fall of 2025. So we haven't planned past this
episode. Episode 179 to 200 is wide open as of
this moment because I haven't written anything
down yet. Once I write it down and once it's
in bold, it's set. But yeah, we'll have to figure
that out off air, obviously. Thank you for joining
