Ad Absurdum

This month, Meredith, Sarah, and special guest privacy lawyer Carolina discuss Gattaca, everyone's favorite movie about genetic discrimination! Join us as we explain how GINA is not just the name of a pretty lady, how much Ron Paul friggin' loves this movie, ways Trump could do more to mess up American Immigration, and the general fact that neither lawyers nor ethicists have any idea what the heck we're really talking about when we start looking too closely at people's DNA. ​

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

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

Join Ad Absurdum next month on May 3rd as they will like to play a War Game.

#6 -- Tic Tac D'Oh - I Blew Up the Planet (War Games)

Apologies for our 1-month hiatus: we're back! This month, Meredith and Sarah talk the 1983 nerd MASTERPIECE War Games. We think the trailer to this movie might be the sum total of what Donald Trump knows about cyber security, so we talk about how scary that is and how to stop him from blowing up the earth. We also talk about the process by which America plays the game of thermonuclear war, and calculate exactly how many months of federal prison time Matthew Broderick's character owes Uncle Sam.
