Munch My Benson, the seminal SVU podcast, is the twisted spawn of co-hosts Adam Schwitters and Josh Duggan, celebrating the splendid and often wildly inappropriate lunacy found only on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Each week The Randomizer spits out a new episode, and they dive deep into the heinous murk before rating it in terms of overall quality, guest star performances, the degree to which the episode was problematic (the more, the better), and the depth and breadth of lives ruined (more=better). So come along for a wild ride through the uproarious darkness of the Dickwolfiverse.

97 - I Don't Like the Idea of Having Ninja Pedophiles Out There, That Scares Me (S12E12 Possessed)

Episode 97

Monday, September 2, 2024 • Duration 01:17:14

In conjuction with this week's interview with Michelangelo Milano, who plays Patrick Binder, Larissa/Brandy's boyfriend in this episode, we are dropping this classic episode back into the feed. Make sure to listen to Michelangelo's interview which dropped today, and check out his podcast, The Return Slot... Of Horror (YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify).

Wanna hear what happens when an episode breaks the Munchie Boys and their patented SVU-episode scoring system? Well, “Possessed” (Season 12, Episode 12) broke it like the Kool-Aid Man. Next to every other of the 96 episodes they’ve watched so far, this beautiful piece of art had Adam and Josh contemplating some pretty grand concepts like: was Jerry Horne’s Twin Peaks walkabout really a representation of the liminal state at the end of his life where he was just looking for his Brandy? what exactly was contained within the pages of Buzz’s skin mags that Kevin couldn’t wrap his head around in Home Alone? where is the line where we progressives can stomach police brutality? are we seeing the tripartite peak of pedo performance?

If this were a podcast that employed trigger warnings, it’d probably have to get tagged with all of them. Instead, you are advised to hold onto your butts. There is simply an abundance of insanity that’s too fantastic to ignore. Bask in the glow of “Possessed,” listen, and rejoice.

Interview with Michelangelo Milano

Monday, September 2, 2024 • Duration 01:30:02

We were fortunate enough to have been graced by the presence of Michelangelo Milano this week, who dedicated listeners will know as Patrick Binder, the boyfriend of Taryn Manning's character, Larissa in Season 12, Episode 12 "Possessed." Not only does he appear in one of just TWO EPISODES OF SVU TO RECEIVE A PERFECT 10.0 FROM US, but he plays a huge part in what might be the most memorable scene we've ever seen in the history of this show. We had a great chat with Michelangelo, who told of his life's path to a random apartment in New York where he just so happened to grapple for hours with the older brother in Home Alone (who was wearing nothing but a creepy mask and a pair of whitey-tighties) and where he's been since.

Michelangelo Milano can be contacted via his website: http://www.michelangelomilano.com/

MMB Movie Club 00 - The Heartbreak Kid

Thursday, July 4, 2024 • Duration 01:11:54

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.

And we didn't do just any old movie. We did the anti-rom-com that might just have been the origin of cringe comedy, Elaine May's 1972 masterpiece The Heartbreak Kid, starring Munch alums Charles Grodin and Cybill Shepherd, along with two different Academy Award nominees for their work in this film, Eddie Albert and Jeannie Berlin. Did those two ever earn their nominations here. Wow. Great film. Come along for a blast.

You can watch this film (which has otherwise evaporated into the ether on account of its distributor shuttering more than two decades ago) on: Archive.org or YouTube.

226 - Inferno The Musical (S2E12 Secrets)

Episode 226

Monday, August 26, 2024 • Duration 01:17:42

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 lurid second unit photo shoot in between. We need to give special mention to both art department, who spared no depravities in their work for this episode, and for the outstanding quality of the background actors, who give (too much?) life to their wordless roles.

225 - Soda (S12E11 Pop)

Episode 225

Monday, August 19, 2024 • Duration 01:07:29

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 the place, but it ends up with Elliot case-blocking Hardwicke in a prime Fatherly Stabler moment.

Econofoods! - Interview with Johnny Pemberton

Monday, February 5, 2024 • Duration 01:13:22

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a very special installment of Munch My Benson.Johnny Pemberton was kind enough to spend far too much of his time with Adam and Josh, discussing his life, career, one-man show, and guest appearance on the Season 23 episode of SVU “One More Tale Of Two Victims” which we talked about back in MMB 184 - He’s Never Going to Get the Cum Blankie Back. He also talks a bit about his upcoming roles in the highly anticipated Amazon Prime series Fallout, what could have been with the Bo and Cheyenne Superstore spinoff that NBC passed on, and his upcoming leading man role in the dark comedy Mermaid from visionary Butt Boy director Tyler Cornack.

Johnny Pemberton can be seen performing his solo show at The Den Theatre in Chicago February 14 - 17. Tickets can be found here:

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

Episode 224

Monday, August 12, 2024 • Duration 01:02:37

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 of reminiscing to do about Spin Doctors. In a shocking twist, Vice Presidential candidate--and couch lover--JD Vance might have made an appearance here as well. Lots to unpack folks.

223 - Why Don't They Have Someone Sexily Peel off a CPAP? (S24E15 King Of The Moon)

Episode 223

Monday, August 5, 2024 • Duration 01:17:17

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 grotesque understatement. Featuring guest star Bradley Whitford, the mold wasn't just broken in this one, it was disregarded entirely, and the effects are, ummmm, interesting?

BONUS EPISODE - What Did the Season Five Writers Room Have Against Mothers? (with Special Contributor Natalie)

Friday, August 18, 2023 • Duration 40:51

Josh sits down with special contributor Natalie, who graciously dives into the themes of Season Five, chiefly just what had happened to the members of the SVU Season Five Writers Room to make them devote more than half a season to how horrible moms can be? Move over, men, because the damage moms do in this season is IMPRESSIVE.
