Bedroth (who is not a lawyer, but likes movies) and The Diad (who is a lawyer, and also likes movies) get together once a month to discuss a film in the "legal movie" genre. Is it a good movie? How well does it represent the legal profession? Courtroom films, law school films, comedies, dramas, thrillers. You name it, they'll probably talk about it eventually. Grab your popcorn and your briefcase and come join us at The Movie Bar!

Episode 8: The Devil's Advocate Walks Into the Bar

The Movie Bar, Episode 8: The Devil's Advocate Walks Into the Bar!

**This episode deals with topics that some people may find triggering, including religious angst, murder, sexual assault, incest, and suicide. As such, we have chosen to mark it as explicit. Listener discretion is strongly advised.**

The Diad and Bedroth dance with the devil just in time for Halloween in this supersized holiday episode, as they analyze 1997 supernatural horror/legal thriller The Devil's Advocate.

Directed by Taylor Hackford from a screenplay by Jonathan Lemkin and Tony Gilroy, and based on Andrew Neiderman's 1990 novel of the same name, The Devil's Advocate stars Keanu Reeves as promising young prosecutor Kevin Lomax, Charlize Theron (returning to the podcast) as his wife Mary Ann, and Al Pacino (also returning) in the scene-stealing role of John Milton, an immensely powerful and influential New York lawyer who may not be quite what he seems.

Once the Lomaxes arrive in New York, Kevin is swept up in Milton's world, passing a series of apparent tests until he is awarded a very high-profile case. Mary Ann is initially excited, but she soon starts to have second thoughts as Kevin's job pull them farther apart. Then there are the disturbing dreams and visions she's having about some of the people into whose circle her husband's new job has pulled them.

Will the Lomaxes weather the storm and find redemption? Will Kevin give in to temptation and risk his very soul for another big win? And what's the real story behind the enigmatic John Milton? Join us at the bar and find out!
