226 - Inferno The Musical (S2E12 Secrets) 1:17:42

1d ago1:17:42

1:17:42

We all remember that great teacher from high school who would go the extra mile for all of their students. This episode of SVU presupposes that said exemplary educator is most likely a gang-bang-addicted sex-club enthusiast on the side. This wild ride takes us from the heights of the pre-2.0 internet to the depths of "Dante's Inferno" and to every …

225 - Soda (S12E11 Pop) 1:07:29

1d ago1:07:29

1:07:29

Stepdads can really be jerks, right? This episode of SVU definitely agrees with you. Your stepdad might be a one-of-a-kind A-hole, but I'm guessing he didn't get you into an underground fight club run by the white cabbie cabal where their adolescent children or charges throw down instead of them. This being Season 12, the episode careens all over t…

224 - We Know Whether JD Vance Shaves (or Not) in His Grindr Profile (S25E12 Marauder) 1:02:37

8d ago1:02:37

1:02:37

In our first brush with Season 25 of SVU, we are immediately thrown into a deep backstory flashback featuring a character hitherto unknown to Munch My Benson. If that wasn't jarring enough, a certain hit single from the seminal '90s album Pocket Full Of Kryptonite features heavily in said flashback, which obviously means the Munchie Boys have A LOT…

17d ago1:17:17

1:17:17

There are strange episodes of the longest running primetime drama in television history, but none come close to matching what is happening in this week's entry. To say that the last four minutes of this episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is unlike any moment in any other installment in the show's 25-plus years of existence would be a grot…

222 - Speaking Of Stereotypes (S17E13 Forty-One Witnesses) 1:20:07

1:20:07

The rape of a woman just outside her apartment building frays the social fabric of New York when so many of her neighbors saw something happen but none of them took action to help or even notify the police. This being a Season 17 SVU one can't help but notice the racism bubbling very close to the surface in the portrayal of the three bad teens who …

Picking up where we left off in MMB 219, we had a SUPER bad dad who was just found not guilty of ummm, SAing his son to show him what a real man is.

Who loves ya, baby? That's right, the Munchie Boys do. This month we did an entire bonus Movie Club entry for all of our audience, not just the Munchies on Patreon who get one of these a month.

This Season 12er takers us on a wild ride from unionizing dry cleaners, to piss-wielding nurses who just need an early-morning quickie, to militant environmentalists, and finally to the first installment of the Calvin Arliss saga which might have spared us all from the horrors of Baby Boy Doe, but for the fact of a clearly non-legally binding guard…

Realizing they had added an actor to the main cast but given him very little to do in the intervening episodes, vics tangentially related to Velasco via his parish priest back home bring Juárez screaming into this week's installment of SVU.
