Episodes
Profiler: 305 (The Sum of Her Parts); 306 (The Monster Within) 21.08.2025 1:15:02
Two fun episodes that are clearly precursors to Criminal Minds!
Profiler: 303 (Do the Right Thing), 304 (Double Vision) 14.08.2025 1:14:27
This is the week Profiler became Criminal Minds! We are still upset about Donald Lucas.
Profiler: 301 (Coronation), 302 (Cravings) 07.08.2025 1:21:11
Nooooooo!! This can't be Jack, can it???? However, the crimes of the week were really good.
Just Josh'n #5: Dirt - The Rest of the Show 30.07.2025 1:57:02
The end of Season 1 lived up to expectations! Season 2 was, for the most part, a wash.
Just Josh'n #4: Dirt Season 1 - Episodes 1-7 24.07.2025 1:29:28
Beware! Less violence but a lot more softcore porn than Sons of Anarchy!!
Criminal Minds Season 18 in Review 18.07.2025 1:42:07
Re-watching the season didn't change our minds about the ending. However, we are still blown away by the characters' journeys!
Criminal Minds 1810: The Disciple 11.07.2025 1:43:42
This is what it sounds like when you don't stick the landing.
Squid Game Season 3! 08.07.2025 2:16:23
It's back and here to radicalize us all! A perfect ending to a brilliant analysis of the modern world.
Criminal Minds 1809: CollateRal 05.07.2025 1:29:22
If you're not interested in hearing Dan talk about Miami Vice, skip to the 6 minute mark!
Criminal Minds 1808: Tara 28.06.2025 1:14:40
In which we attempt to figure out a convoluted plot point and somehow neglect to mention that Dan probably had a character named after him!
Profiler: 219 (The Root of All Evil) 24.06.2025 1:39:28
Doubly disappointed! One: little Jack. Two: the main plot cops out big time. And Sam is truly her father's daughter! Our best pick of the season? "Every Five Minutes"
Criminal Minds 1807: ...And All The Devils Are Here 21.06.2025 1:13:50
A horror episode and a great cliffhanger! If you are afraid of spiders, skip the opening death - just saying!!
Profiler: 216 (Lethal Obsession); 217 (Cycle of Violence); 218 (Die Beautiful) 17.06.2025 1:30:14
Three forgettable episodes that have moments of interest. We do a major rewrite of "Die Beautiful"! Warning: Don't buy a frigging piano!!
Criminal Minds 1806: Hell is Empty... 14.06.2025 51:58
Great episode, solid killer of the week. However, Dr. Redmond is still not convinced that Voit is a changed man. The last episode will decide who is right.
Profiler: 214 (Every Five Minutes); 215 (Breaking Point) 10.06.2025 1:30:02
The first one is Against Out Will as a TV episode. Almost as good at discussing rape as the soaps, which excel at understanding the impact and trauma of rape.
Profiling Criminal Minds 1805: The Brutal Man 06.06.2025 1:08:55
A. J. Cook needs an Emmy for this episode alone!
Profiler: 212 (Shoot to Kill); 213 (Bloodlust) 03.06.2025 1:13:35
Writing malpractice, that's all we can say! Too many missing elements.
Criminal Minds 1804: I'm Fine; It's Fine; Everything is Fine 31.05.2025 1:18:19
Another solid episode this week as we recover from last week's drama.
Profiler: 210 (Dying to Live); 211 (Ties That Bind) 27.05.2025 1:32:01
Two more powerful episodes. Get ready to cry if you actually manage to watch them. As the custody battle moves forward, the team seems to have forgotten about the existence of Jack.
Criminal Minds 1803: Time to Say Good-bye 24.05.2025 53:37
A beautiful send-off for Will Lamontagne.
Profiling Criminal Minds Special Edition: Fan Q&A With Criminal Minds Head Writer Breen Frazier 20.05.2025 42:56
We learned a lot from these answers. And thanks to the fans who sent us questions. We will do this again in the future!
Criminal Minds 1802: The Zookeeper 16.05.2025 59:32
Despite our personal tragedy (which we explain at the beginning of the episode), we were blown away The Zookeeper. So many questions to be answered over the rest of the season. Unsurprisingly, we have mixed feelings about the upcoming episode 3.
Profiler: 208 (Victims of Victims); 209 (Birthright) 13.05.2025 1:22:31
Two tight episodes with compelling killers. Also, a custody battle, a disappointed Chloe, and Roma has a baby!
Criminal Minds 1801: Swimmer's Calculus 09.05.2025 1:26:06
We're back and we are just thrilled with the new episode. We have questions but who cares!
Profiler 205 (Power Corrupts), 206 (Old Acquaintance) and 207 (Jack be Nimble, Jack be Quick) 06.05.2025 1:29:16
One weird episode about corrupt Chicago judges, two episodes where we have no idea who the killer is, but we do get to meet Jack's Mom!!
