Derrick is away this episode so we brought in someone with actual relevant experience for a change! (Note: that was Geoff's comment. Of course.) Alison Gill has nearly 2 decades of experience in federal legislative and policy matters. Currently the Director of Nominations and Democracy at the National Women’s Law Center, she spends her days opposing biased and unqualified judicial nominees and advocating court reform. (Full disclosure: Her last job was as Geoff's boss) This episode we remember the late, great Rob Reiner by discussing his 1995 film, The American President. Mike, Geoff, and Alison discuss what it takes to get legislation through Congress and whether the crime bill and environmental protection bill highlighted in the movie could survive in the courts today.

Lincoln Lawyer is back... on the podcast.  In this episode, we discuss Season 2, Episodes 1 & 2 of the Lincoln Lawyer Netflix Series.  Among other things, we discuss the supposed "ethical dilemma" that Micky faces, his decision to allow his client to meet with the police, allowing another client to talk to the police without him present, and sexual relations with a client.

The first sidebar of 2026!  So first thing's first, next week we will be coming back to the Netflix show Lincoln Lawyer.  We did Season 1 of the Lincoln Lawyer in Season 1 of our podcast, so it's only fair that we discuss Season 2 in Season 2!  Confusing?  Probably.  Anyway, next week we will be discussing Season 2, Episodes 1 & 2, of the Lincoln Lawyer.  Watch it so that you can follow along with Geoff and Mike's very strong opinions. But a vast majority of this long sidebar is dedicated to discussing how AI is impacting our legal practices, which we recorded immediately after our last episode on Her.  We set out to have a normal 10- to 15-minute sidebar... and kind of kept going.  But hopefully it's interesting! And a reminder to please let us know your favorite parts of 2025.  What were your favorite episodes?  What was your favorite specific discussion?   What did we screw up?  What recommendations do you have for Season 2?  We want to hear from you!

Happy New Year to our listeners!   In the first episode of Season 2, Geoff, Mike, and Derrick discuss Her, the 2013 Spike Jonze movie starting Joaquin Phoenix and the voice of Scarlett Johansson, which is set in the distant past of the year 2025.  In this episode we discuss AI services, intellectual property, and real-life litigation related to the movie. Among other things, we mention the following: - Kevin Reviews Everything, "Movie: Her" (link: https://www.kylereviewseverything.com/movie-reviews/movie-her2016/5/1) - SNL Spoof of Her by Jonah Hill (link: https://vimeo.com/735181162) The sponsor of the podcast is Moore Law PLLC, a law firm that focuses on business law and general commercial litigation.  If you would like to set up a free consultation, please fill out the form located at https://www.mooreatty.com/contact.

Merry Christmas, Happy Festivus, and Happy Holidays to all of our listeners!  This sidebar is not only the last one of 2025, it's also the last sidebar of Season 1!  Season 2 starts next week.  (Having a new season does not really mean all that much, although we are excited that we've done enough episodes to call something "Season 2".)  The first episode of Season 2 will be released on New Year's Day, and we will be discussed Her, the 2013 Spike Jonze movie starting Joaquin Phoenix and the voice of Scarlett Johansson. We spend most of the time this sidebar discussing the many tropes from Season 1's movies and shows.  We apologize for our audio quality - Mike's audio was lost, so we had to rely on the Zoom recording.  Nothing like ending Season 1 on a snafu...  But don't worry, stick around for after the outro where you can listen to the moment where we all learned that Mike's audio was lost. And finally, please let us know your favorite parts of 2025!  What were your favorite episodes?  What was your favorite specific discussion?   What did we screw up?  What recommendations do you have for Season 2?  We want to hear from you!

Geoff, Mike, and Derrick discuss the latest installment of the Knives Out movies, Wake Up Dead Man, which was released for a brief theatre run on November 26, 2025 and started streaming exclusively on Netflix last Friday, December 12, 2025.  HUGE spoiler alert for this one (maybe more than others) given the recent release.  For the first time, all three of us watched the movie in the theatre and recorded this episode before having the ability to watch it on streaming. In this episode we talk about Benoit Blanc's assumptions, acknowledgement of parentage questions, priest-penitent privilege, murder v. manslaughter, audio recording consent law, and other issues.

As is normally the case when we invite on guest hosts, some of the conversation that we had with Will Kent in last week's Spy Game episode did not make it into the original edit.  So, we present it along with a little background on NDAs and SCIFs, for those of you not familiar with them.  Enjoy! Our next episode will be released on Thursday, December 18.  We will be discussing Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.  Currently on a short theatre run, it starts streaming exclusively on Netflix tomorrow, Friday, December 12.  Watch it before our episode drops!

Quick-ish sidebar this week to discuss a correction to our commentary in last week's Good Place episode and some separate listener feedback.  As discussed in our listener feedback: Here's the link to Kevin Goldberg's co-authored piece for Freedom Forum on Bad Online Reviews: Can You Get Sued for Leaving a Bad Review? Maybe.  Here's the link to John Oliver's Last Week Tonight segment:  Felony Murder: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO).   Our next episode will be released in a week, when we will talk about the movie Spy Game with guest host Will Kent a friend of the podcast, former military intelligence officer, and currently working on international commercial issues in development.

Welcome! Everything is fine. (Not really. At all.) In this episode, Geoff, Mike, and Derrick discuss Season 1 of The Good Place (2016-2017).  We discuss multiple scenes involving Eleanor and Jason's time on earth, including Eleanor's shady fake medication job, Jason "impersonating" Acid Cat, Eleanor and her friends taking advantage of the "Dress Bitch" situation, Jason and Pillboi (attempting to) rob the Mexican restaurant, and Eleanor's apparent emancipation from her parents. If you have not watched The Good Place, MASSIVE spoiler alert here.  While we try to focus on season 1, it's hard not to at least hint at future seasons.  Hopefully you have already watched it.  It's good.  Or at least entertaining.

In this episode, Geoff, Mike, and Derrick discuss Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022).  We discuss Benoit Blanc's role as a detective, hearsay, how a Court would look at the all-important napkin "agreement", comparative/contributory negligence, and generally whether or not Miles Bron is an idiot (spoiler alert: he is). As part of our conversation, we dissect the napkin that's integral to the plot in Glass Onion.  One image can be found here:  Napkin Image.  We also talk about some of the Easter eggs in this movie, especially callbacks to the original Knives Out (see, e.g., Guimaraes Collider Article).
