Profiling Criminal Minds takes an in-depth look at the most successful serial killer-themed television show of all time.

In addition to this exhaustive look at Criminal Minds, the hosts also compare, contrast, and contextualize other serial killer-themed fiction, from Manhunter through UnSub to The Inside and beyond! Join them on their journey through one of the most interesting explorations of the heart of darkness ever aired.

Episodes
Profiler 203 (It Cuts Both Ways); 204 (Second Best) 24.04.2025 1:21:52
Two Great episodes - who knew!
Profiler 201 (Ambition in the Blood); 202 (Primal Scream) 17.04.2025 1:21:48
The plot of the first episode makes no sense; the second isn't much better. The most important thing is that Jack is now in the opening credits!!
Turns Out We Love the Collector and the Collection 10.04.2025 1:42:31
Who could have seen that coming?
Profiler - Season 1 In Review 03.04.2025 1:29:43
The roulette wheel makes the whole show work - at least, in creating a sense of unpredictability.
Profiler: 120 (Into the Abyss); 121-122(Venom) 27.03.2025 1:23:29
For sure that was a season ender but honestly, do we really care! Then again, Coop's back.
Profiler: 118 (Blue Highway); 119 (Field Training Exercise) 20.03.2025 1:21:49
Crazy entertaining episodes. We kind of like the consistency in the characterizations.
Profiler: 116 (Film at Eleven); 117 (Crisis) 13.03.2025 1:07:17
Two decent episodes once again. Once again, however, they just don't seem to be taking Jack seriously enough!
Sunday Show: We Need Your Questions!!! 09.03.2025 1:04:28
Here it is! "We are Canadian" - the updated Molson Beer commercial from the 1990s: https://youtu.be/_OzbmriDgQc?si=90TX3e9_oM73fr8T
Profiler: 113 (The House that Jack Built), 114/115 (Shadow of Angels) 06.03.2025 1:15:25
The show has finally got some momentum! Will it last? Plus Dr. Redmond's crazy prediction!
Sunday Show on Tuesday: Gretzky Better Not Show His Face Around Here 04.03.2025 1:40:44
Dan was really, really upset. Somehow, he couldn't manage to upload the episode until this morning. Then again, I finally managed to vote in the Liberal Leadership election yesterday!
Profiler: 111 (Doppelganger), 112 (Learning from the Masters) 27.02.2025 1:28:15
Rewriting episodes is so much fun! However, the real problem is that the show doesn't treat Jack as a real threat
Profiler: Episodes 109 & 110 20.02.2025 1:13:02
Dr. Redmond seems to be warming slightly to this show, while Dan is far more on board.
Profiler 107-108 - Night Dreams, Cruel and Unusual 13.02.2025 1:06:08
Not enough Jack and A. Martinez is our conclusion :-)
Sunday Show - We're the Second-Best! 09.02.2025 1:54:11
Until 45:30, we ramble about being 2nd place in a list of the best Criminal Minds podcasts and other stuff. Then we get political. Warning: Dan is just #$%^ angry about what is going on in America!
Profiler 105-106 - Unsoiled Sovereignty, Modus Operandi 06.02.2025 58:23
Pleasantly surprised at how good these episodes were.
Profiler 103-104 - Unholy Alliance, I'll Be Watching You 30.01.2025 1:12:07
These 2 episodes are so blah that you will hear us segue into a discussion of David Hasselhoff and the Berlin Wall!
Profiler 101-102 - Insight, Ring of Fire 23.01.2025 1:22:49
Dr. Redmond is still not convinced but will give it some latitude - after, all it was the 90s!
Yakuza Season 1 16.01.2025 1:57:36
Yakuza, the game (Dan) vs. Yakuza the TV series (Sheila). Nobody won!
Those Who Kill: Darkness 09.01.2025 1:03:18
This reboot of The Danish Those Who Kill left us so unimpressed that we decided that we wouldn't watch the next (or subsequent) season.
Those Who Kill (Danish) 106: Shadow of the Past 02.01.2025 1:07:50
Burn It All Down. That's what they did and thus, we hated this ending to the show.
Squid Game Season 2 28.12.2024 1:43:22
OMG!!!! What a season, We discuss the complicated ethical issues at the heart of this season. We are thrilled and can't wait for season 3
Those Who Kill (Danish) 105: Solitaire of Death 26.12.2024 1:24:50
Not the horrible end that was the American version but still a problem. We have one more week to go: the movie!
Those Who Kill (Danish) 104: An Eye for an Eye 19.12.2024 1:06:19
A perfectly good crime story about the Russian and Lithuanian mobs. I guess everyone needed a bit of a breather after the prison episode.
Those Who Kill (Danish) 103 - Bad Blood 12.12.2024 1:10:34
For the first time, we are issuing a trigger warning and a sexual violence warning - ignore this episode if you want. It is a brutal prison episode beginning with the first scene.
Those Who Kill (Danish) - 101 102 05.12.2024 56:28
This is the original "Those Who Kill". Similar story line but we posit quite different in character motivations. We shall see going forward.
