Ronnie and Jazz finally have something to talk about in Season 3's "About Face", the episode of Criminal Minds that introduces Joe Mantegna into the mix! The boys discuss what makes him a different animal from Mandy Patinkin and comb through his filmography to determine why he might have chosen the relaxing 9 to 5 of procedural pabulum. The unsub this time strategically places "have you seen me?" fliers of women before he abducts them, but it seems more appropriate for those to be of the actor playing the unsub, considering he never acted in anything after this. Of course, it wouldn't be Deliver The Profile without talk of Donald Trump dildos, robots, babies, Power Rangers, why Texas sucks and, most importantly, the revelation of who exactly Jazz is. DOWN!
You know it's a rough episode of Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior when the boys are unfavorably comparing it to The Following! "Lonely Heart" takes us to Ohio, California, wherein a serial killer is getting someone to murder for him from behind bars and that someone is a SHEsomeone. That's all there is to it, so don't be surprised about the free-ranging discussion of topics as diverse as Red Shoe Diaries being a pyramid scheme and Jeff Goldblum being the only way for Ronnie to go to a hotel room with a complete stranger. It turns out buying the series DVD doesn't make it better, but why would it?
We don't want to spoil the surprise in this episode, so all we'll say is that Criminal Minds goes to Alaska, which looks a lot like California, and Garcia is more annoying than usual in "Exit Wounds". Those who are filling out their Criminal Minds episode maps, remember that they've not gone to Hawaii, nor have they met those Hawaii Five-O guys that still have a fucking TV show. There's some comics talk, some God talk, cuckolding, the usual.
It's Deliver The Profile's customary Halloween episode, recorded and aired in April as usual! "The Good Earth" has a woman using men as fertilizer, which sounds like an EC Comics story that no one remembers for good reason. It's forgettable enough that this is a more unwieldy episode than usual. Granted, these descriptions say that about every other episode of the podcast, but never before have Ronnie and Jazz discussed vaccinations, hypothetical rape, marijuana, the movie Dream House or mouthwash in such vivid, stupid detail. But Inspector Rex they've talked about, and so they do again.
It's April, the weather's improving and Ronnie and Jazz are still stuck doing a podcast! In “Breath of the Dragon” the team has to contend with an unsub whose proclivities include arson and martial arts and that is not at all racist, no sir. Will they be able to save Chinatown or will the 'The Dragon' (yes he's actually called that, multiple times even) reign supreme? During this, we've got surprise birthday parties, rebellious children and even some ladies of the evening!
