Ad Absurdum

If you were wondering where the Pop Culture Legal Team has been for the past few months, it's because they were trapped on Manhattan but now....they ESCAPED. Join Sarah and Meredith as they discuss the legal possibilities of the John Carpenter film, Escape from New York. They talk about how the government would take control of an island, the reach of prison capabilities and how prisoners can legally be treated. Also they decide if Snake Plissken is a great name or the best name.

--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.

It's a Christmas miracle! A man fell off your roof and died! Also Ad Absurdum is BACK.
