Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 6: TV Cop Shows: Faster Than Justice
Q: Do you think they had a positive impact on public's perceptions of police or a negative one?
When I was younger, I was excited because these shows were fun and depicted a sense of family within the police force, which was appealing.
Episode 6: TV Cop Shows: Faster Than Justice
Q: What do you think those shows got right, if anything?
They did a good job with reinforcing that idea of the daily grind, that it was a hard job, that it is physically tiring and maybe emotionally tiring as well.
Episode 2: Hot Fuzz – Small Town, Big Guns, and Excessive Paperwork
Q: So, Tommy, if Hot Fuzz were submitted as a police training video, what grade would you give it?
He would give it a solid D- for realism but an A+ for sheer entertainment.
