Join us as Ben, Dessy, Tiago, and Rose cover the inspirations behind Ace Attorney! Today we're watching the first episode of the original Columbo TV movies, "Murder by the Book!" This excellent introduction to the character is a favorite of ours already, so we're thrilled to rewatch it and talk about it here! We talk about Peter Falk, Jack Cassidy, and how this episode was directed by Steven Spielberg! We also have our usual tangents about Ken Penders, Doogie Howser, and the most important thing of all: conversation pits. Also discussed are the wonderful use of light and shadow in the episode, how Columbo is like Jaws, and why does Columbo need so many bowls to make a omelette?? Find out the answers to SOME of this and more in today's pod!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
