2 years! Yes, the Not So Grand Jury's first full episode dropped on October 17, 2024, over two years ago. Thank you to the many of you who started listening back in October 2024 and continue to listen... and thank you to those who just picked it up! Many more episodes to come. And as always, please reach out to us to suggest new episodes, provide your own commentary, etc.
In the meantime, enjoy our episode di...
We cut about five minutes of Mike and Geoff just chatting about politics from last week's episode so we thought we'd include in this week's sidebar.
And, don't forget, to mark the Not So Grand Jury's two-year anniversary next week, we're going to discuss a classic: To Kill a Mockingbird

Sorry for the late episode, dear listeners. We had a tight turnaround on this one and Editor Geoff managed to come down with the flu half way through the edit!
This episode, Mike and Geoff dig deep into the just-released (but long-awaited) Coyote vs. ACME. We talk about how products liability cases actually work, whatever the hell that congressional "hearing" was, the behind-the-scenes legal issues that plagued the film, and...
We cut about ten minutes of Derrick and Geoff just chatting about general lawyering from last weeks Rebel Ridge episode so we thought we'd include in this week's sidebar.
Next week, Mike and Geoff will do a deep dive into the new movie, Coyote v. ACME, which just became available to stream on Amazon.

Sorry for the late drop on this episode! Gotta love those technical difficulties.
This week, Derrick and Geoff discuss the Netflix film Rebel Ridge, staring Aaron Pierre of HBO's Lanterns. The guys discuss civil forfeiture and whether this crime thriller gets the ins and outs of criminal procedure somewhere close to correct.

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.

Derrick and Geoff sit down to discuss the Matt Damon-led, poker-heavy legal drama, Rounders. Not gonna lie: This is about half poker and half law talk. You have been warned.

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.

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/c...
Derrick and Geoff bring a quick sidebar to everyone, discussing listener feedback and introducing next week's episode: Season 1 Episode 1 of All's Fair, the 2025 American legal drama series starring Kim Kardashian, among many others. Highly encourage you to do a hate-watch before next Thursday's episode drops.

Just Geoff and Derrick in this episode, and we go back to basics with this absolutely insane Always Sunny episode. Among other things we talk about comparative negligence, "eggshell" plaintiffs, burden of proof, admissibility of evidence, expert witnesses, and judicial/legal ethics.
The sponsor of the podcast is Moore Law PLLC, a law firm that focuses on business law and general commercial litigation. If you would...
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 Ka...
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 cr...
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 ...
Second part of a 2-part episode is here (and apologies for the one-week delay in the release). Geoff, Mike, and Derrick discuss Season 2 of Marvel's Daredevil, focusing on the Punisher Trial.

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. So you’ll have to wait for next week to hear us talk about the actual Punisher trial.

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 fi...
Two-parter coming your way! Geoff, Mike, and Derrick discuss Season 2 of Marvel's Daredevil (see Season 1, Episode 13 for our discussion of Season 1). This episode hits a bunch of issues, including whether Nelson & Murdock could exist in real life, issues with being a fact witness and a lawyer, Matt's many conflicts with being Daredevil and a lawyer, and many other things. Stay tuned for Part II where we will ...

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
