    Groundhog Day: Can You Commit Crimes With No Consequences?

    If you relived the same day forever, would the law still apply? In this episode of the Let’s Ruin It Podcast, three New Jersey attorneys put Groundhog Day (1993) on trial. From theft and assault to kidnapping, fraud, and suicide, Phil Connors commits an impressive number of crimes, yet faces zero consequences thanks to the time loop. But does that mean those crimes don’t count? We dive into criminal liability in looping timelines, consent by deception, mental health commitments, multiverse theories, and whether redemption after decades of wrongdoing actually means anything. Along the way, we ask the real question: is Phil Connors a better man by the end or just better at hiding his crimes? Smart, irreverent, and legally nit-picky, this episode turns a beloved classic into an existential courtroom nightmare. 🎙️ Hosted by Jenny (@birzlaw), Liz (@lizcalandrillo), and Diana (@mrsladydiana) 📱 Follow us on Instagram @letsruinitpodcast ⚖️ For entertainment only; not legal advice.

    Primal Fear: Why This Trial Would Collapse on Appeal

    Primal Fear is a phenomenal movie with a legendary twist, and one of the most legally inaccurate criminal trials ever put on screen. In the Season 3 premiere of Let’s Ruin It, three New Jersey attorneys break down everything that would never happen in a real courtroom: surprise evidence mid-trial, discovery violations, questionable ethics, and a defense attorney who somehow becomes an investigator, vigilante, and moral philosopher all at once. We dig into attorney-client privilege, prosecutorial obligations, expert testimony gone wrong, and why no judge would ever allow half of what happens in this case. Acting? Incredible. Law? Completely unhinged. If you love courtroom dramas — or scream at your TV when movies get the law wrong — this one’s for you. 👍 Follow, subscribe, and leave a review to help us ruin more movies.

    Love Actually Is a Legal Nightmare

    It’s the Season 2 finale—and the last episode of the year—and we’re closing things out by ruining a holiday classic. In this episode, we put Love Actually on trial and ask whether love really is all around… or if most of these characters should be talking to HR and their attorneys instead. We break down the Prime Minister’s workplace decisions, unrequited love gone wrong, power imbalances, romantic gestures that cross legal lines, and one airport scene that absolutely could not happen in real life. Along the way, we debate whether these moments are sweet, creepy, or straight-up unlawful. Some stories still work. Others have aged like expired eggnog. If you love holiday movies, legal chaos, and smart-but-slightly-unhinged analysis, this episode is for you—and a perfect sendoff to the season. 🎙️ Hosted by Jenny, Liz, and Diana of Let’s Ruin It Podcast.

    The Santa Clause: Law vs. Christmas

    Get in the holiday spirit with a legal twist! In Season 2, Episode 23 of Let’s Ruin It Podcast, Jenny, Liz, and Diana unwrap The Santa Clause forensically — calling out dubious contracts, unexplained legal consequences, and parenting law through the lens of a beloved Christmas comedy. From the non-existent fine print to Santa’s potential liability issues, nothing is safe from this trio of New Jersey attorneys. No content notes — just holiday cheer and intelligent, irreverent legal banter.

    Shrek: Legal Chaos in the Swamp

    Shrek may be a perfect movie, but legally? It’s a full medieval dumpster fire. This week, the attorneys dive into everything happening beneath the swampy surface — from Farquaad’s mass eviction scheme to the ethics of imprisoning a child in a tower for twenty years “for her own good.” We break down whether Shrek and Farquaad actually formed a valid contract, whether rescuing Fiona counts as kidnapping, and whether Fiona’s rush-to-the-altar plan qualifies as marriage fraud. Plus: dragon liability, inter-species genetics, hybrid offspring law (don’t ask), and about four separate tangents into Twilight and Harry Potter legal lore.

    American Beauty on Trial: Ending Explained & Legal Fallout

    We’re ruining American Beauty the only way we know how—by indicting it. With guest Corey Chichizola, we unpack Ricky’s illegal filming (privacy/wiretapping), whether adultery still matters in no-fault divorce, how domestic violence can affect support, and why the final minutes don’t mean what you think. Then we play detective: who actually faces charges after Lester’s death, and what evidence holds up? Along the way we talk rose petals, the infamous “plastic bag” moment, and the messy reality of suburban criminal liability—minus the movie’s convenient metaphors. Content note: sexual misconduct, homophobia, domestic violence, murder.

    Death Becomes Her: Murder, Potions & Product Liability

    What happens when a miracle anti-aging potion meets actual law? In Death Becomes Her, we pull apart the crimes and liabilities under the glam: murder vs. conspiracy, “legal death” vs. medical death, malpractice exposure, and whether a secret youth serum would be treated like a consumer product with warnings. We also dig into why the movie’s camp and body horror still land, and how its over-the-top scenarios make perfect law-school hypotheticals. Enjoy the show?

    “Drop Dead Gorgeous”: Legal Chaos in Mount Rose

    A small-town pageant with sabotage, bribery, and a swan float that literally explodes, “Drop Dead Gorgeous” has everything a lawyer hates and a comedian loves. Journalist Corey Chichizola joins us to dissect the film’s pitch-black mockumentary style and the surprisingly rich pile of legal issues hiding under all that Aquanet. We break down how a rigged contest actually works, why “everyone got food poisoning” is not a fair tiebreaker, and what kinds of claims (negligence, fraud, breach) might stick in the real world. Along the way, we celebrate the movie’s quotable menace, its cult-classic staying power, and the scenes we can’t stop re-watching.Guest: Corey Chichizola (journalist) — @myasoulIf you enjoyed this episode, follow the show and leave a review—then tell us what to ruin next.
