  • Less SVU please

    I like this show. But the majority of the episodes are SVU. There are already so many podcasts about that franchise… can we hear more episodes of L&O original or criminal intent please.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SVU: Was she really kidnapped or was she a "Gone Girl"?
Q: Can you tell me the name of the actor playing attorney Dan Olin?
The actor is Joshua Leonard, noted for his roles in The Blair Witch Project and other works; the hosts discuss how he was portrayed in the episode versus the real people involved.
L&O: The lawyer knows where the bodies are buried - literally!
Q: Why does Schwimmer refuse to break attorney-client privilege even when faced with potential consequences?

SVU: Marcia Gay Harden goes after eco-terrorists and Ebon Moss-Bachrach
Q: What was the guest's perspective on Marcia Gay Harden's performance and casting in this episode?
The guest described Harden as charming and compelling, while acknowledging the character's morally complex arc and the producers' decision to place her in a high-stakes undercover role that split audience sentiment between admiration and discomfort.
SVU: Dude thought the cam girl was actually into him
Q: How does the episode handle consent and the portrayal of sexual violence on screen?
The panel discusses the nuanced treatment of consent, noting that while the act depicted is presented as role-play, the victim did not consent to the actual assault, and the show uses this to explore jury perceptions, victim voices, and the potential for misinterpretation by audiences.
SVU: Dude thought the cam girl was actually into him
Q: Why does the episode title Turn Me On Take Me Private fit the plot?
The hosts explain that Turn Me On references the cam girl's audience-enabled performances, while Take Me Private alludes to the camming dynamic where fans pay for private access, which mirrors the episode's central tension between performance, consent, and exploitation.
