Hello friends! This week Enn recaps a particularly problematic episode (Wedded Bliss; S03 E04 of Law and Order,) that was inspired by the crackdown on illegal 'sweatshops' in the 90s. Matt then talks about the 2021 murder of Jeyasre Kathiravel that exposes the gender and caste based violence and discrimination occurring everyday to Dalit women in the garment industry.

This week's episode features Enn spilling all the Tea about S02 Episode 21, Silence, which features the 90s treatment on Queer folk; I'd say use your imagination but Enn did it for us all (literally, Matt forgot to watch...) What Matt did instead was recount the story of Paul Broussard and the Woodlands 10. Listen along as Enn & Matt give some personal perspectives on the issues raised, and let us know your thoughts via social media or email!
