Not So Grand Jury

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's very strong opinions.But a vast majority of this long sidebar is dedicated to discussing how AI is impacting our legal practices, which we recorded immediately after our last episode on Her.  We set out to have a normal 10- to 15-minute sidebar... and kind of kept going.  But hopefully it's interesting!And a reminder to please let us know your favorite parts of 2025.  What were your favorite episodes?  What was your favorite specific discussion?   What did we screw up?  What recommendations do you have for Season 2?  We want to hear from you!Comments?

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 we will be discussed Her, the 2013 Spike Jonze movie starting Joaquin Phoenix and the voice of Scarlett Johansson.We spend most of the time this sidebar discussing the many tropes from Season 1's movies and shows.  We apologize for our audio quality - Mike's audio was lost, so we had to rely on the Zoom recording.  Nothing like ending Season 1 on a snafu...  But don't worry, stick around for after the outro where you can listen to the moment where we all learned that Mike's audio was lost.And finally, please let us know your favorite parts of 2025!  What were your favorite episodes?  What was your favorite specific discussion?   What did we screw up?  What recommendations do you have for Season 2?  We want to hear from you!Comments?

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 on a short theatre run, it starts streaming exclusively on Netflix tomorrow, Friday, December 12.  Watch it before our episode drops!Comments?
