(By my some chance the episode&ap...

Geoff, Mike, and Derrick discuss the ninth and tenth episodes of the fourth season of Scrubs (2004).  We discuss misconceptions around HIPAA, "ambulance chasing", medical malpractice lawsuits, depositions, and Doug, the (new) pathologist.

Just like the Ludacris arc on Law & Order: SVU, it was long overdue for Scrubs to do an arc on the Not So Grand Jury.  Expect a few more Scrubs episodes to come out shortly as we get ...

Another short one today!  In next week's Not So Grand Jury, Geoff, Mike, and Derrick will discuss epsidoes nine and ten of the fourth season of Scrubs, a couple of episodes that deal with medical malpractice. Should be interesting!

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 di...

Quick one today!  First, in next week's episode, Geoff, Mike, and special guest Alison Gill, the Director of Nominations and Democracy at the National Women's Law Center (and Geoff's former boss), discuss the 1995 film The American President, directed by the late, great Rob Reiner.  To get the most out of the episode, especially with Alison's expertise, watch or re-watch it before next Thursday!

The sponsor of the podcast is Moore Law PLLC, ...

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'...

Happy New Year to our listeners!

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 w...

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 ...

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 ...

In the episode, Geoff, Mike, Derrick, and special guest Will Kent discuss Spy Game with the late great Robert Redford playing veteran CIA operative Nathan Muir and an up-and-coming Brad Pitt playing Muir's protégé, Tom Bishop.  Our guest Will Kent is a former military intelligence officer in the US Army and now works on international commercial issues in development.  

In this episode, we talk about, among other things, espiona...

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...

Welcome! Everything is fine. (Not really. At all.)

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 On...

It's the Not So Grand Jury's one-year special!  Believe it or not, our little podcast has made it a year.  Thank you to all of our listeners - we appreciate you tuning in on a regular basis to listen to us and here's to another year!

For our first anniversary, we actually chose a legal movie, Michael Clayton (2007).  Among other things, we discuss legal ethics (duh), what is a "fixer", the role of a general ...
