    Hey y'all! One more Winter Holiday Break and we will be back on Jan 5th to continue our season into 2023 with you folks! <3

    This Week on Law and Order Season 5, E08 Virtue, we get powerful performances but a dangerous narrative. Enn takes us through the red herrings and navigates the multiple plot jumps with grace, and then prepare for the true story that this episode was based on. Anita Hill made sexual harassment allegations against Clarence Thomas in the early 90s, and was made a target for public harassment and jest by the media. Thomas would join the Supreme Court, and Anita has since been a voice, advocate and keep player in social change and support for survivors and victims - do you remember this landmark trial?

    This week we dive into S05 E07 of Law and Order, Precious. Matt recaps the episode which features a couple of horse cops, a red herring and a few strange character choices- but the acting by the lead suspect, was compelling to say the least. Then, Enn tells us one of the horrific true stories that this episode was based on - take a deep breath folks it's not an easy one. Marybeth Tinning is known for having multiple children pass away from  variety of ailments, but was there more to the story then originally met the eye?
