## Resource

Everybody says My Cousin Vinny is the most legally accurate movie ever made. Three attorneys just watched it. They have notes. This week, Liz, Diana, and Jenny take on the 1992 Joe Pesci classic — and yes, the cross-examination scenes are genuinely brilliant. But between the fake credentials, the Miranda violations, the discovery disasters, and a fiancée dragged to the stand as a hostile expert witness, Vinny is also a walking bar complaint. Mona Lisa Vito won an Oscar. She would not have been qualified. The crew debates this at length. The hosts rate the film's legal accuracy, argue about grits, and answer the most important question of the episode: is this actually the best legal movie ever made, or are we just grading on a very generous curve?
