149. Law Enforcement - Shot/Reverse Shot

What this episode covers

Inspired by HBO's The Night Of, Matt and Ed spend this episode talking about the many varied ways in which law enforcement officials have been depicted in film and television. From slapstick dunces in silent movies to embodiments of systemic corruption, from dedicated public servants to sociopaths with authority, they run the gamut. They also discuss the ways in which England international games are like season two of True Detective, gawk in wonder at the complete implosion of the Divergent franchise (and its surprising fallout for the Marvel universe), and dig into the furore surrounding Edgar Wright's list of 1000 favourite films. 00:00:00 - 00:24:30 - Intro & News 00:24:31 - 00:52:47 - Matt & Ed discuss Law Enforcement in film and TV 00:52:48 - 00:57:15 - SRS Recommends & Outro 00:57:16 - 00:58:55 - A little extra nonsense N.B. The YA film which failed and became a TV series that Ed was thinking of was The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.
