    (00:00:00) Discussion of Impending Fascism!
    (00:20:37) Episode Review

    SVU finally tackles Black Lives Matter... How, you might be asking yourself. In the stupidest way possible. Olivia becomes a whole-ass villain. Carisi plants evidence. And Barba does maybe too good of a job prosecuting cops that shot an unarmed, innocent black man 35 times.

    Rearrainge deck chairs on the Titanic of impending fascism on this week's episode of SVU.

    Also, Matt bought a record player.

    Whoopie Goldberg is either unbelievable or unbelievable in this episode. You get to decide which.

    (00:00:00) AC/DC Rules, Canada Also Rules
    (00:17:49) Episode Review

    Is it problematic? Yes. Is it emotional? Also yes. Does AC/DC still rock? Triple yes. Season 17 Episode three: Trangender Bridge. We repeatedly ask the question: why do we extend grace and understanding to a guilty perp only when the victim is trans. Must just be a coincidence.

    (00:00:00) Matt's Rant
    (00:28:26) SVU Review

    Matt has BDS. No not that one. In his case, it stands for Blakelively Derangement Syndrom. His news embargo is not going well, so we have a vintage Matt Reuter Rant (an MRR) for you this week. Aviv needs help vetting a podcast.

    Oh, and we've also got part two of the season 17 opener, Criminal Pathology. The Carls and Rudnicking and the Roberts are Dursting in this positively phoned in episode of SVU. Rollins is not-so-secretly pregnant, and we have unironically the funniest scene in SVU history.

    (00:00:00) Intro/Catch Up
    (00:19:48) SVU Breakdown

    What is an egg? What is pasteurization? What is tomato sauce? And what's with all this traffic? Also part one of the two part season 17 premiere. Who's creepier Yates or Rudnick?

    Also, we've now figured out how to do chapters. So you can skip right to the episode if you don't care about our weeks.
