You have a favorite Matthew Lillard film or TV performance. It might be SLC Punk , the Scream franchise, Scooby Doo , Hackers , She's All That , Twin Peaks: The Return , or the new Stephen King and Mike Flanagan movie The Life of Chuck . He's been working in Hollywood for over 30 years, and has a reputation for being kind to fans. But connecting with people is exactly why he got into acting as a kid — the community that comes from putting on a play together and hashing it all out at the diner afterward. It's what drew him to Dungeons & Dragons, and then a spirits company celebrating fantasy and horror fandoms. Lillard joined Tinfoil Swans to talk about growing up not fitting in, the thrill of finding your people, the punk rock high school movie he directed, his wedding cheese wheel, and so much more.

What is the law? How does it work? What role do lawyers, litigants, and judges play in the law's development? In sum, what moves the law in American society? I'm Bob Stetson, a Boston-based trial lawyer and the host of the podcast Legal Judg(e)ments. After 17 years in private legal practice, I still don't have a perfect answer to these important societal questions. Is it politics? Judicial philosophy? The advocacy and skill of the lawyers involved? The likability or lack thereof of their clients? Is it something else entirely? I started this podcast to find out what other lawyers think about these issues. By talking about specific cases, strategies, verdicts, and court decisions, I hope to answer these important questions. Or, at the least, understand the issues a bit better. If we, as lawyers and as a society, understand how the law really works, maybe we can predict the results more accurately. Or as lawyers, give our clients better legal advice. Let's figure these issues out together. Come listen to Season 4 of Legal Judgements, starting on November 15th.…
