93 - They Still Manage to Wedge in Some Racism, but Its a Little Too Professional (S13E6 True Believers)

Published: Jan. 31, 2022, 8:35 a.m.

b'After kicking things off with Adam\\u2019s tales of neglected hot tub maintenance, the Munchie Boys step into the world of early Season 13 where a new writing staff ventures off into a Stabler-less world. Where some episodes may not be as boldly helmed and written, this is a fantastically directed, process-concerned contemplation on how a rape and its ensuing investigation affects the victim in the days and weeks that follow.

It also features Munch\\u2019s former Homicide fellow detective after an apparent name change from Frank Pembleton to Bayard Ellis, who is apparently now a civil rights defense attorney. Yes, this one\\u2019s got none other than 11-time Emmy nominee (and two-time winner) Andre Braugher. Don\\u2019t worry, we also talk at length about a cast member\\u2019s involvement in a meditation cult and how it colors our undying appreciation of Mandy, the undeniable sexual energy between Braugher and Hargitay, and the notion of an SVU without Olivia Benson which was apparently in the cards.
