e439. Legal Dramas and Pop Culture: Unpacking Courtroom Fantasies

Something occurred to us last week with the release of the very funny Coyote vs. Acme. There sure are a lot of movies, TV shows, and other properties that star lawyers. In fact, it seems like it’s one of pop cultures favorite professions. Why is that? Obviously, it can be an interesting job, but so can so many others. But TV has been full of legal procedurals almost as long as the medium has existed. So on this week’s episode we look into why. Maybe, Mav and Hannah are joined by returning guest, friend of the show, and lawyer, Josh Stroud to talk all about fictional lawyers, their popularity, and what tropes the world of pop culture gets wrong and right about the legal profession. Listen and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
