We know the president has COVID-19, but we’re looking for distractions. So this week, we talk to author Carmen Maria Machado about the ethics of binging Law & Order: SVU, considering that it’s all just cop propaganda. Plus, For Life co-executive producer Sonay Hoffman talks to us about why she avoids police procedurals.

Finally, writer Gabby Noone tries to convince Scaachi into caring about the latest installment in the Twilight saga.
