Episode 18: Tramp Stamp Stop and Frisk (S8E7 Underbelly)
It is a wonder that "Underbelly" Season 8, Episode 7 passed NBC's Standards and Practices Department for any number of reasons. It sexually objectifies real-life 14-year-olds, it is extremely racist, it makes offhand references to piss play, and it takes us on a mind-bending Pynchonian journey to an interzone where The Wire both exists and does not exist depending on the exact placement of John Munch on the Eastern Seaboard. Join Josh and Adam as they unravel a bizarre case involving Stabler, Munch, Sister Peg, Beck (wait who?), and the cast of Season 4 of The Wire and learn about vintage Ferrari pricing, chemical spills in Nunavut, and the mating behaviors of 40-something divorced Dads.
Episode 9: What Do You Propose, A Tumescence Exam? (S3E10 Ridicule)
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!
Episode 6: It Was The Best Of Culkins, It Was The Worst Of Culkins (S5E2 Manic)
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.
Episode 5: Who’s the Perfect Victim for a 90-pound Twerp Perp? (S4E19 Juvenile)
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?
