while not all murder mysteries would adapt well in this way I feel that Knives Out would make a really fun Columbo

#you could almost edit it into columbo order #but then you have to insert columbo instead of benoit blanc and that's where it gets tricky #like technologically #nobody wants a deepfake columbo like deepfake luke on the mandalorian/the book of boba fett #(and mark hamill is still alive to do the voice peter falk has the bad manners to be deceased) #i'm less uptight about 'but columbo is an LAPD detective and that's not even california' #he was at a - a detectives' convention or something and got called in to consult #or this is retired columbo who got the mystery letter and thought what the hell I'll put on the raincoat one more time #mrs columbo was like okay (mysterious first name) i love you but it'll be nice to have you out from underfoot for a few days #(possibly frank) #take the dog with you would you honey?
