Court Is In Session

Courtney Watts

🎙 Court Is in Session

Welcome to the Naughty Corner – where internet chaos stands trial. Court Is in Session is your weekly dose of feral Reddit drama, unhinged Twitter takes, fanfic meltdowns, and moral messes too cooked for real life – served hot with a side of Vegemite and rage.

Think Two Hot Takes meets Smosh Reads Reddit, if it were owned by Dropout and hijacked by Brennan Lee Mulligan.

Hosted by Courtney, each episode assembles a tribunal of tossers who spent far too much time in their school’s naughty corner – each one offering their own trash-and-treasure takes. Rather than weaponising our histories to dodge accountability, we put in the work to turn yesterday’s garbage into judgmental gold, one moral mess and spicy clapback at a time.

🔥 What to Expect

The Latest – Fresh, feral, and possibly fake internet drama

Sick Cnts & Sht Cnts – AITA hot takes and cold judgments

Tumblr Time – Because the fanfics are filthy and the ships have sunk

Callbacks & Clapbacks – Listener feedback, rage updates, and redemptions

Dungeon Daddies & Dragon Dramas – Roll a D20, unleash chaos

Pick Your Poison – Choose between two equally horrendous moral dilemmas

Intent vs Impact – Where “but I meant well” goes to die

Cyber Bin Chickens – Pecking through other podcasts’ takes for scraps

That Name Isn’t a Tragedeigh, It’s a Myrrhdurr – The spelling game from hell

From bogan blowups to digital dumpster fires, it’s all up for debate in our courtroom of chaos.
