  • Entertaining, oh the irony!

    I haven’t laughed so much because of a podcast in a long time. Should I be laughing at a true crime rewatch podcast…but there really does need to be humour to keep the episodes going, I don’t know how else I’d be able to listen to it. My first time listening and I already know I’m gonna stick around as long as this podcast exists, keep up the great work guys from Australia

  • This isn’t the official podcast but it’s so much better

    I accidentally found this podcast while trying to find the Official SVU podcast and glad I did. I love the fact that they can’t keep up with Stabler’s family but then again who can! They make me laugh and put a smile on my face. Thanks guys!

  • Ok, You guys……

    Matt and Aviv are brilliant hosts and while there are a LOT of tangents throughout the episodes, they do review and lovingly ridicule episodes of SVU. The bonus episodes are also fabulous, mailbag being a welcome addition to my week - and hilarious even though I understand nothing of Twitter!

    A great listen and good to know I’m on the right side of history too re Stabler and Beck…

Episode 361.1 - Bonus - RIP Munchies...
Q: Which would you choose, Matt? If you had to learn a new language, what would each of you choose?
I would probably choose Spanish, being probably far more practical than anything else. Plus, after taking my trip to Spain, I was like, man, it would have been nice to have been able to speak the language in this country.
Episode 344.1 - Bonus - Forrest Gump 2, Still Gumpin'
Q: Why do you hate Forrest Gump?
I find it overly saccharine and feel it paints an unrealistic picture of generational contributions.
