Episode notes
This week Guy has returned from New York and the gang is back together to talk about legal dramas! They talk about the new CBS All-Access series The Good Fight, their favorite legal dramas of all time, and they get real about which TV or movie lawyer they would want to represent them in court. Wynter talks about her love for true crime, Margaret tells us what The Accused got right, and Karen talks about a Barbara Streisand classic. Plus we learn why Guy is currently obsessed with Calypso music and which documentaries you should be seeing this weekend. As with every week, we find out what the panel is all about and why jams they cannot stop listening to.
Guy Branum, Karen Tongson, Wynter Mitchell, and Margaret Wappler
Jams:
Margaret Wappler – Room 29 – Jarvis Cocker and Chilly Gonzalez
Wynter Mitchell – I Feel It Comin’ – The Weeknd
