After months away from the mics, Tony and Evan to start 2025 with a brand new episode of End Scene! Tony and Evan share some personal updates before diving into this week's topics. This week, Tony and Evan discuss not one but TWO defamation disputes in the entertainment law sphere, the first being between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar (10:28) and actors Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively (21:17). Tony and Evan discuss the fact patterns of each case with a discussion of actual malice, which is necessary in defamation cases involving public figures. Tony and Evan also spend some time talking about the public domain and discuss how the book turned musical turned movie "Wicked" evades copyright infringement disputes because of it's connection to L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz" (42:13). And for this week's fun topic, in honor of Evan's trip to Orlando to visit Tony and Disney World, Tony and Evan share their favorite Disney World ride (55:51).
