After reckoning with the horrific current events aspect of this week's installment, Adam and Josh get down to brass tacks with "Military Justice," which depending on where you watch it is either Episode 7 or 8 from Season 15 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. We discuss the essence of Galveston, the most heinous crime in the Boschiverse, the general self-preservation skills of ensigns, and Rollins straight-up laying a dude out, while marveling at a shockingly good episode of SVU complete with efficacious character development and some real tearjerking moments. And a lot of peen.

In an alleyway on the Upper West Side, there is a portal to realms that lie beyond human comprehension. Of course, the dedicated detectives of the Special Victims Unit do nothing to investigate this mystery. They also neglect to investigate the sudden, shocking death of a mostly innocent man. In fact, it’s not clear that there is a proper investigation going on here at all. Still, Adam and Josh do their level best to reckon with “this insane fever dream of an episode” called “Blast,” Episode 13 from Season 7.

Adam and Josh wrestle with GHB, a reality in which Benson was in a sorority, the continued mistreatment of the homeless, super rapey college bars staffed by enabling deviants, theorize the genesis of Christopher Meloni's entrée into Wet Hot American Summer, and apocryphal baseball lore which can only mean one thing: they watched "Consent," Episode 10 from Season 2 of Law & Order: SVU.

This week, Adam and Josh tackle a bonafide Munchisode (Law & Order: SVU Season 1, Episode 20, "Remorse"), one where John Boy's feelings are on full display and directed at the victim, a local news anchor played by Jennifer Esposito. Wrestling with emotions and contending with delightfully tactless bomb squad techs, the ground between bizarre Czech-to-English guidebooks and the proper way to puke in a toilet that's not your own is covered. 

The Randomizer gave the world "Ridicule" (Season 3, Episode 10) this week, and it's a magnificent gift. Featuring guest stars Paige Turco and Diane Neal as not Casey Novak, this one delves into the spicy world of male strippers and autoerotic asphyxiation while asking the age-old question: can a woman rape a man? What about three women, commonly called a rape troika? It's an episode for the whole family to enjoy, so do yourself a solid and watch and listen!

To quote Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "Into each life some rain must fall / Some days must be dark and dreary." In the life of Munch My Benson, S2E07 "Asunder" is one of those dark and dreary days. Though the subject matter is almost as grim as the acting, we hold our heads high as we break down the cringe-iest lines and the worst performances. Have you ever considered the efficacy of social distancing in the year 2000? Are you familiar with the lethal range of an airborne cast-iron skillet? Are you brave enough to play street ball against some bad cops? The MMB boys keep a stiff upper lip as they answer these eternal questions, and more.

Despite the world being on fire, Adam and Josh are back this week to talk about Episode 7 from Season 1 of Law & Order: SVU called "Uncivilized," probably the wildest episode we've done yet. Leopold and Loeb? More like the Bestie Boys. Covering the bases on the most deliciously problematic episode we've covered yet, we go down a DOM rabbit hole, marvel at the words the writing staff puts into the mouths of its main cast and Canadian indie rock front men, determine the perviest drink you can order at a bar, and talk fellately--er, philately, before reckoning with some fatally shoddy police work. The pictured children will never play touch again.

This week we watch "Manic," Season 5 Episode 2 of Law & Order: SVU. In it, Big Pharma, global capitalism, and a few incompetent middle school employees conspire to place a loaded hand gun in the deranged hands of one Rory Culkin. He humiliates then murders two of his bullies on the order of the voices in his head which belong to none other than the legendary carnival game and romantic comedy icon, Zoltar. We discuss important topics including revolutionary theory and whether or not this episode constitutes the peak of the extended Culkin universe. Come along for the ride. Be safe.

The Randomizer bestows upon us the gift of "Juvenile," Episode 19 from Season 4. The Unit faces a real doozy of a case when an unlikely pair of tweens breaks in to the improbable apartment/grow-house of a terminal cancer patient, who gets kid-raped and stabbed 38 times with a paring knife. As the investigation and trial proceed, we're exposed to the wonderful world of dumpster markers, azoospermia, and delicious ruminations on vomit, before being forced to reckon with the existential quandary of our times: who is the perfect victim for a 90-pound rapist?

Baby Doe gets kidnapped. Olivia Benson loses her shit.

We dive into another ep of Law & Order: SVU. This time we learn about West Virginia, colostomy bags, how to pronounce Klatch properly, and the 2013 Miami Heat. We are watching Season 19 Episode 8 "Intent." In the podcast’s first foray into Ripped from the Headlines fare, the squad investigates a rape that isn’t quite what it seems. An MMA fighter nicknamed ‘The Monster” jarringly rapes an Instagram star, only to find out that she asked for him to rape her. Or did she?

Have you ever wanted to know how to sauté meth? Is it ok to use vast amounts of public resources on a quixotic quest to heal personal wounds? What is a Vance Dennis? To find answers to these questions and more, join us on a dizzying journey through an another random episode of SVU.

Come along as Adam Schwitters and Josh Duggan start things off at the beginning with Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Season 1, Episode 1 - Payback, the only episode penned by the one and only Dickwolf in the 21 seasons of SVU. Let them guide you through the rough-and-tumble world of architecture, Bosnian cuisine, tawdry art galleries, cabbie culture, genital mutilation, Serbian war criminals, and Dickwolf’s career.
