Welcome back Headliners! This week's Law and Order (Season 4 Episode 3,) Discord tells the story of a young woman's sexual assault by a Rock Star named C-Squared. Nothing says heavy metal like Algebra, am I right folks? After Matt recaps the show, Enn tells us about what inspired it, the story of Desiree Washington. Mike Tyson, who also assaulted his ex-wife Robin Givens, raped Desiree when she was 18 years old and who did the press annihilate over it? Spoiler Alert, it wasn't the boxer...What are your thoughts on how this sensational case played out?

In this week's Law and Order, (S04 E02) Volunteers, we get a story of a neighborhood and criminal justice system, that really doesn't cater to those experiencing homelessness. Enn takes us through the episode, which guest stars Dennis O'Hare, and then Matt recounts the story of Larry Hogue that was it's inspiration. Given the moniker The Wild Man of 96th Street by the press in the 90s, Larry is indicative of a much larger issue - Where do you land on these topics?

It's a new Season and we are so excited to continue chatting with you all! In Law and Order's Season 4 premiere episode, Sweeps,  the seedy world of tabloid talk shows is explored and Matt recaps the episode. We get new cast members S. Epatha Merkerson and Jill Hennessy and the opening theme song is shortened from it's usual 756 minutes run time. From Geraldo to Jenny Jones, this episode parallels multiple cases but Enn chose the one most closely related; the story of the sexual abuse and abduction of Jody Plauché and the "revenge killing" of Jeff Doucet.

In this week's episode we cover E22, Benevolence, the finale of Season 3 - We made it through another one folks! Enn recaps the episode which focuses on a fictionalized tale of a murder in the Deaf community.

It's almost the end of our 3rd season!? This week Matt recaps Episode 21 of Law and Order's 3rd Season; Manhood- Don't even get me started... Since it had no direct inspiration, Enn takes great care in telling us the story of Jesse Valencia, and his tragic murder at the hands of someone unexpected at the time.  As members of the Queer community, this episode definitely effected us and we had a lot to say about gender and masculinity; we'd love for you to get in the conversation so please reach out and tell us your thoughts <3

This week Enn recaps Securitate, S03 E20 of Law and Order; Instead of the episode relating to the title, we meet some goth twenty-somethings and a guy named "Skank..." - need we say more?

Another week, another set of stories; Matt covers the Conduct Unbecoming, S03 E17 of Law and order with special guest Julianna Margulies!

Enn recaps Jurisdiction, Law and Order S03 E16. Matt forgot to watch in time, and so join him as he listens along to this episode with maybe THE MOST ridiculous "evidence" ever.

Emily Hoffert, Janice Wylie and George Whitmore Jr each had world-altering events happen to them while Dr Martin Luther King Jr delivered his I Have a Dream... speech.
