December 11, 2020

Sam hosts Alex Pareene (@pareene), staff writer at the New Republic and host of The Politics of Everything podcast, to discuss the stories of the week and depravity of Big Law. Film Guy Matthew (@langdonboom) also stops by to discuss the newly released film on which he worked, “Black Bear” starring Aubrey Plaza.

Sam hosts Alex Pareene (@pareene), staff writer at the New Republic and host of The Politics of Everything podcast, to discuss the stories of the week and depravity of Big Law. In his latest article, he spotlights attorneys like Neal Katyal who make morally repugnant arguments in their private careers and expect that not to be an issue when it comes time for political appointments. More at The New Republic.
