Susan and Cort dive into the Law & Order universe, connecting actors, episodes, and the wild web of Hollywood projects through their own version of Six Degrees of Separation. From surprise guest stars and missed casting opportunities to Netflix’s odd release models, and upcoming spinoffs, the Soup crew stir up plenty of TV and movie talk.
