  • Super professional!

    Great recaps and interesting facts about the cast and the real world events that inspire the eps. I really appreciate J&A’s deep knowledge and passion for film. I love when a podcast is hosted by people who genuinely get along and have great banter. Super professional, as the guys say :)

  • Great analysis and hilarious hosts

    I love this show and it’s my favorite of the SVU-related podcasts — it deserves a bigger audience although I selfishly love the in-crowd feel it has. Josh and Adam are very funny and I love their in depth explorations of relevant topics and their off topic diversions. I look forward to each new episode every week! 😊

  • Weezy laugh and dumb politics UNSUBSCRIBED

    Look, there take and talk is slow but can be interesting about SVU.

    But I unsubscribed today when they spent several minutes just railing against the Democratic Party. Not even in context they just seem to clutch at any excuse to be a social Special Victim.

    I'm here to listen about the shows, not the increasingly cringeworthy takes on society and surface-level political views. I did find them via Kevin Flynn's "These are there stories" another broader and superior L&O podcast and I enjoyed M... more
