## Resource

If you can dodge a wrench, can you dodge a lawsuit? In this episode of the Let's Ruin It Podcast, three New Jersey attorneys put Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004) on trial, and Average Joe's versus Globo Gym turns out to be a legal dumpster fire. From illegal wiretapping through a camera hidden in White Goodman's cardboard cutout, to defamation per se, sexual harassment and retaliation against Kate, predatory antitrust buyouts, a high schooler gambling in Vegas with no waivers in sight, and a wrongful death by falling casino sign, we dig into every crime this comedy classic gets away with. Smart, irreverent, and legally nit-picky, we break down why this movie treats the law like something to duck, dip, dive, and dodge. Hosted by Jenny (@birzlaw), Liz (@lizcalandrillo), and Diana (@mrsladydiana). ollow us on Instagram @letsruinitpodcast and subscribe wherever you listen. For entertainment only; not legal advice.
