Ad Absurdum

Take a break from the news to go back to the joyful days of the 90s when a constitutional crisis was a delightful comedy concept. Kevin Kline starred in an Ivan Reitman movie about an impersonator to the President ends up secretly being the President for a few months. The Pop Culture Legal Team look into how much of this is illegal. Beyond just saying, "ALL OF IT," they break down the legality of the AutoPen, how the 25th Amendment was almost evoked, and the real life first female President. There's also a lot of interesting information about how crazy a motorcade is. Also that Donald Trump guy may be mentioned a few times...

--Leave any questions you have for the duo in the comment section at TheArtImmortal.com

--Leave a review on iTunes so more people can find the show and learn their fictional rights.

#10 -- Spirit of Christmas, LLC (The Santa Clause)

It's a Christmas miracle! A man fell off your roof and died! Also Ad Absurdum is BACK. Sarah and Meredith are joined by Calli, a privacy lawyer, to answer all the big questions about The Santa Clause. Is the fine print on the card similar to iTunes user agreements? Can you treat a belief of Santa like a religious allowance? Is the North Pole illegally spying on you during the year? How much of a bummer is it to deal with child custody issues in a silly Tim Allen movie? You'll find out all of this and more!

#12 -- Bucky Deserved Better (Captain America trilogy)

Happy Fourth of July! Your pop culture legal team are back to look into the films of Steve Rogers aka Captain America. His role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is usually as the moral center but how does he fair as a law-abiding citizen? Sarah and Meredith dive into how much medical information Cap should have received before taking the super soldier serum; if Bucky Barnes' brainwashing works towards an insanity defense; and the necessary types of superhero classification that would be needed for the Sokovia Accords. Also is one of our hosts a secret mutant?!?

They are joined by attorney Mike Godwin, who works at the R Street Institute and is famous for "Godwin's Law" which states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."
