LotG 21 – It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s a Superlawsuit!




Law of the Geek show

Summary: SPECIAL PRE-SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT: Thanks to everyone who voted for us in the ENnies! We are also a finalist for a Parsec award for Best Fact Behind the Fiction Podcast. It's been an exciting year! Today we have an episode on a very complex "Super" topic. Melina admits to being woefully unprepared for this topic. She's also been watching a lot of Dark Shadows. A little about copyright assignment termination rights from Geoff. Are you still awake? Geoff and Melina have to take a brief time out. Intermission music provided. A little about interlocutory appeals from Geoff. Geoff likes Latin. Melina likes the Carmina Burana. If you weren't asleep before, you definitely are now. Geoff and Melina realize they STILL haven't explained what the case is about. 17 minutes in, we finally start talking about Superman and what the suit is about. Why this lawsuit is a big deal, including the new Superman reboot. How the lawsuit "got weird." The case of the angry attorney and the unlikely holiday gift. Superman as a criminal mastermind? Melina tests Geoff on his Superman origin knowledge. Melina and Geoff banter for a bit about the new movie. Don't forget to come to our panel at Gencon Indy! Friday, 3pm, in the convention center! Catch us in 2 weeks!
