Episode 237: For Some Unknown Reason, Munch My Benson Broke Containment (S16E14 Intimidation Game)

It's been a while folks, but the Munchie Boys are officially back on the horse. No, not H. The figurative horse that having a child can buck you from. And how are Adam and Josh repaid for their long overdue return to actively podcasting about Law & Order: SVU? Well, once you move past the fact that they basically had a three-minute commercial for the podcast on primetime network television, they had to watch an episode that avid gamer Ice-T has since distanced himself from.

Episode 32: The Brotherhood of Big Bald Bosses (Part 1) (S14E1 Lost Reputation/S14E2 Above Suspicion)

Adam's Paternity Leave continues, so why not continue down the path that imperils Captain Don Cragen more than any Captain should be.

If you thought that Munch My Benson would approach the hour-and-a-half-long Season 14 Premiere mega-sode "Lost Reputation/Above Suspicion" with a pithy plot reconstruction and a few succinct comments, you were sorely mistaken. This televised love song to Dann Florek provided so much material for Josh and Adam that it had to be broken up into roughly equal parts. This week's topics include GamerGate, a Meadow Soprano drinking game, obscure Haitian rums, tulpas, Henry Winkler, and, of course, an in-depth history of the wizened, hairline-challenged, not-quite-leading men of television. Prepare for a wild ride.
