Jazz is still in the nether-zone, so that means Ronnie must partake in another Marvel Team-Up! This time out it's Chris Ludovici, his partner in crime in many a writing project (Lois & Clark & Chris & Ronnie included). They try to talk about anything besides Criminal Minds, but invariably the topic drifts back to "Masterpiece", AKA the one where George Costanza dresses up like a fried chicken mascot and taunts the FBI. This is Chris' first episode of the show so he has a lot of questions. Other topics broached include what comic book roles Jason Alexander could play, the physics of Grifter's mask, what a real Joss Whedon Justice League would look like, and many more. This is a long one, folks, but how could you cut any of the gold out?
Jazz is on vacation, but have no fear, Ronnie has teamed with Daniel Daughhetee (The Canon Ball) to bring you a brand spanking new episode of Deliver The Profile! Witness as Ronnie puts Daniel through the paces with "False Flag", a later season show about conspiracy theorists. They're being murdered! Is it a conspiracy or is it just a series of stupid random events? Well, it's stupid all right. Zelda Williams guest stars as a podcaster who believes Sandy Hook never happened. Wouldn't it be funny if her conspiracy belief was that Robin Williams was murdered.
Check out Daniel's podcast, The Canon Ball, and listen through this whole episode to hear a tease for something long in the making from Ronnie and Daniel...
"Dust and Bones" is a Season 13 episode about snake people. Well, snake person. She's on a rampage and it's up to the BAU to stop her. Meanwhile, Luke Alvez reconnects with his estranged-ish crippled friend Phil "The Brick" Brooks. You'll be surprised how Alvez bridges their gap. Besides that, it's business as usual at the Deliver the Profile offices. Some riffs, some laughs, a lot of expletives. Enjoy it.
Out of Chicago, the Deliver The Profile boys hit up Long Island as a blast from David Rossi's past threatens to, well, not do much of anything. It's really a metaphor about not letting yourself let hot pieces get away. It's actually one of the better Criminal Minds we've ever covered, because the BAU fails miserably at its remit and Reid isn't allowed to join the team in the field. It's astounding how far our standards have fallen.
