Episode 374 - S17E8 - Melancholy Pursuit

(00:00:00) Matt and Aviv Have Nothing To Say (00:25:02) Episode Review That sure is a nice townhouse you've got there. Would be a shame if there were some sort of... incident. No joke, Aviv and Matt talk about so many things that don't matter that we had to fade out their rants. Not even worth a bonus episode. Yet, you still get to hear Aviv describe a noisy nectarine that he ate. What an episode we have for you this week! A hostage situation leads us to ask the questions: Why doesn't Stabler come in on a Harley and fix everything? And, could a writer decide something about a character half-way through an episode and then just change their personality on the fly?All that and more on this week's episode of SVU. 

(00:00:00) Matt Rants about Rich Blonde Women (not the one you think!) (00:22:23) Episode Review Matt has some thoughts about Sydney Sweeney's new bathwater soap and they are 'yum yum. give me that sexy bathwater'. We also are visited by the corpse of Christmas Present, Judge Jeanine Pirro in this week's episode, Catfishing Teacher

(00:00:00) Aviv is Getting Ready for His Honeymoon (00:08:36) Episode Review Is this episode good? No. But is it interesting? Also no. But do our detectives learn from their past mistakes when a child murderer may walk free because of their interogation techniques? We'll let you guess. Tom Sizemore and B.D. Wong return on this week's episode of SVU. 

Aviv likes the new Mission: Impossible, but Matt hates the new Fear Street. Can these two ever get along?We recorded this episode in May of 2025, so the people whose voices you hear have no idea that we've just bombed Iran. Have pity on them. 

(00:00:00) Aviv is Vitamin D Deficient and Matt Hates Babies (00:24:33) Episode Review This week we learn to be cool girls instead of pool girls, Matt gets ready to immigrate to Canada, and Aviv learns about the Dodgers. Also, Mike Dodds his getting a little too close to a case of a missing, murdered girl and another guy named Ray that can't stop fucking. All that and more this week.

(00:00:00) Week Recaps, Aviv Broke His Toe (00:18:05) Episode Recap Could a family of 12 have not one, not two, but four pedofiles in their orbit? You know it! Would a pastor try to marry his 13 year old victim in order to shield himself from consequences? You bet! Aviv broke his toe. Matt went to Walla Walla.All this, and I guess we talk about an episode of SVU. 

In which we decide which donkey humping erotica cover is better, discuss phroggers, and read your correspondence.

(00:00:00) Recommends, Eat Shit, and The New Pope (00:26:52) Episode Review Finally, it's Matt who gets to eat shit, and you'll never guess why. Also a couple recommends and our first impressions of the new Pope. Oh yeah, and also Kim Rollins is back gaslighting, gatekeeping, and girlbossing. 

(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. 

We discuss the mailbag, Another Simple Favor, and some lighter viewing recommendations, the 1981 TV movie about fascism in an American High School: The Wave.Should we watch Another Simple Favor? Will Matt die? You get to decide. [email protected]
