The Pelican Brief
Mike and Geoff sit down to discuss The Pelican Brief, a legal thriller starring Julia Roberts and Denzel Wasahington, based on the book by John Grisham. The guys talk about the Supreme Court, their law school days, FOIAs, and what the word "brief" means, since John Grisham seems unaware. Comments? Questions? Corrections? Send us a message!

Sidebar 26
Geoff brings you a very brief sidebar to preview next week's episode: Rounders, the 1998 crime-and-poker drama starring... damn near everyone. We highly encourage you to give it a watch while it's still free on YouTube and before next Thursday's episode drops. And maybe play a couple hands of Texas Hold 'Em, too, just to get in the mood.

All's Fair: Season 1 Episode 1 "Pilot"
The whole crew is here this week, plus a special guest, Rose, the Director of Strategic Operations at a large law firm. She joins us to talk about just how badly the main characters in All's Fair run their law firm. During the discussion we reference a reddit post cataloging Kim Kardashian's idea of professional workplace attire. The photos we're referring to can be found here (mostly the first one): https://www.reddit.com/r/KUWTK/comments/1oooq26/kims_new_post_alls_fair_fashion_gonna_post_a_full/ Thank you to our editor Colleen!

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Season 8, Episode 10: Reynolds vs. Reynolds: The Cereal Defense
Just Geoff and Derrick in this episode, and we go back to basics with this absolutely insane Always Sunny episode.

Sidebar 24
Join Mike and Geoff for a quick follow-up on our discussion about warrantless searches from last week's Zootopia episode. Plus the guys talk about a few tropes that have cropped up in the shows and movies they've been watching. Comments welcome and encouraged. Are there any tropes you've noticed happen particularly frequently? Let us know! Also, next week we will have a special guest with us to discuss the first episode of the Kim Kardashian vehicle(?), All's Fair. Having watched it, I have a feeling this is well we'll be coming back to again and again. Comments? Questions? Corrections? Send us a message! Please connect with us! IG: @notsograndjury.

Zootopia
Apologies for the one-day delay in getting this episode out. It is probably Derrick's fault due to being distracted watching all the World Cup games... (By the way, Balogun's red card was BS!) Anyway, Geoff, Mike, and Derrick discuss Zootopia (2016), the animated buddy cop comedy film. Among other things, the guys discussed the treatment of Officer Hopps as a police officer, police unions, warrants, and the many crimes committed by various characters. The sponsor of the podcast is Moore Law PLLC, a law firm that focuses on business law and general commercial litigation.

Sidebar 23 - Poker / Follow-Up from Star Trek: TNG
Because our episode on Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Measure of a Man (Season 2, Episode 8) was already pretty long, a conversation regarding a 3-minute poker game hit the cutting room floor. It's now back as a sidebar! So, enjoy a quick intro from Geoff, Mike, and Derrick, and then a long conversation with Geoff, Derrick, and Wes Rist, our guest host for the TNG episode. Comments welcome and encouraged. Also, next week's episode will involve a discussion of the animated movie Zootopia (2016), where we will discuss, among other things, treatment of police officers, the power of police unions, warrants, and involuntary confinement.

Hey there, listeners. Our plan was to have Part 2 of our Daredevil: Season 2 discussion up this week but travel and work got in the way of finishing the edit.

Sidebar 21 - Yelling Into The Void
For this sidebar, we bring in a new segment, informally called "Mike and Geoff Yell into the Void." First, from a conversation from two weeks ago, Mike brings up his concerns regarding the (absolutely ridiculous and corrupt) $1.766 billion settlement between Donald Trump, et al. and his own IRS. Second, we go forward in time where we discussed only a few days ago all the updates to this proposed settlement. And finally, we got back in time again to Geoff discussing a situation involving the Guitar maker Fender's decision to issue cease and desists to builders of a type of generic guitar. We originally thought this would be a semi-quick sidebar. It actually ended up being quite a long one, but hopefully an enjoyable one. Comments? Questions? Corrections? Send us a message!

Stay tuned for Part II where we will discuss the Punisher Trial and more. The sponsor of the podcast is Moore Law PLLC, a law firm that focuses on business law and general commercial litigation.

Sidebar 19
A whole section of our conversation in the last episode on Judgment at Nuremberg hit the cutting room floor, mostly because we didn't think you, as the listener, wanted a 2+ hour episode. Well, we picked it up off the floor and made it a sidebar! So, enjoy a conversation amongst the three of us, mostly led by Mike, which was presented as "what would happen after a Nuremberg-trial-esque situation?", but mostly became a "Geoff and Mike's checklist to get America back on the right track." Comments welcome and encouraged. Also, next week's episode will involve a discussion of Daredevil Season 2, the 2016 Netflix series. Give it a watch before we drop the episode! Comments? Questions?

Judgment at Nuremberg (1961)
Geoff, Mike, and Derrick discuss the 1961 film Judgment at Nuremberg. Among other things, we discuss the actual Nuremberg Trials, the differences between reality and the fictionalized version of the Judges Trial in the movie, judicial independence. Excerpts from the Justice Cases discussed by Geoff can be found here: The Nuremberg Trials: The Justice Trial. The article discussed by Derrick on interpreters during the Nuremberg Trials is here: Translating and Interpreting the Nuremberg Trials. Apologies that some of our audio was less than perfect. It was a combination of corrupt files and user/host error (mostly user/host error to be honest). Thank you to our editor Colleen. Comments? Questions? Corrections? Send us a message!

King of the Hill Season 8, Episode 10: That's What She Said
Geoff, Mike, and Derrick discuss an episode of King of the Hill that revolves around a new employee Rich, voiced by Ben Stiller, harassing all of the employees. Our primary discussion is on sexual harassment in the workplace, and we also discuss some related issues including appropriate processes for investigating employee complaints. Thank you to Derrick's friend, and friend of the podcast, Kevin for the suggestion. (And hopefully we'll get Kevin on as a guest host soon....). Comments? Questions? Corrections? Send us a message!
