THIS WEEK'S EPISODE CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE - VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
Hello everyone! After a long month off, Tony and Evan reunite to discuss some pressing entertainment law topics in the news. First, Tony and Evan lead things off with the news of TikTok suing the US government for the tentative TikTok ban, alleging such a ban infringes on the company's 1st Amendment right to free speech (04:39). Next, Tony and Evan talk about the diss track wars between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar in which each artist makes allegations about the other in some heated tracks - but can Kendrick or Drake sue each other for defamation? (13:41) Later, Tony and Evan talk about an interesting lawsuit involving theater chain Cinemark, in which consumers allege that the chain has engaged in false advertising...over the amount of soda served in their large cups. Tony and Evan discuss if this is, in fact, a winnable case for the class of plaintiffs (25:03). Finally, in honor of Tom Brady's roast on Netflix, Tony and Evan share who they would want to host their roast (32:18).
