(00:20:52) Episode Review

Aviv tells a story that had to be heavily censored. Lily sends a clarification email that doesn't actually clarify anything. Matt lets us in on his history with pre-mature ejaculation. Our hosts share their darkroom experiences. What does this all have to do with 9/11? Find out as we view and review SVU season 17 episode 12: A misunderstanding.

(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 hosta...

(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.

(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.

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. specialviewingunit@gmail.com

(00:00:00) Show Intro: Aviv's Got a Leak
(00:22:00) Episode Review

Whoopie Goldberg is either unbelievable or unbelievable in this episode. You get to decide which. Aviv has sprung a leak in his apartment, and Matt has sprung one in his brain as we discuss how Barba got so ripped and Rollins got so pregnant so fast on this week's episode: Season 17 Episode 4, Institutional Fail.

We read Matt's birthday messages and find out that bees don't have lungs.

(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.

In which we read the mailbag, talk about the movie Sinners, and honor our very-much-alive-king, Delroy Lindo.

(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 e...

(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.

In which we talk about secret dungeouns, apartments, the Kool-Aid man's sexual habits, and all the things we got wrong in the last episode.

We wrap up season 16 with the big finale: Surrenduring Noah. The episodei is bad. But it also seems like everyone knows the episode is bad. Olivia makes decisions for reasons. And Matt can't name a single city outside of Canada. 

Aviv insists on a new game: Guess the Froot Loop color...

We're back at it after a week off. No one is happy. Especailly not us. Season 16 Episode 22 involves the world's worst mom weaponizing the police against her Iranian ex husband just because he maybe kidnapped their son. But it all would have been fine if she had just answered her phone. 

Also, Aviv eats sour patch kids.
