The Birdcage: Palimony, Deception & No Real Marriage

What happens when a South Beach drag club, a closeted family, and an ultra-conservative senator collide over one wedding? In this episode of the Let's Ruin It Podcast, three New Jersey attorneys put The Birdcage (1996) on trial. From palimony claims with no marriage to the surrogacy and adoption questions behind Val's mystery mother, worker classification for Agador the houseman, and the privacy and bribery issues when the press comes hunting a senator, we break down how much of this comedy would actually survive a courtroom. Jenny (@birzlaw), Liz (@lizcalandrillo), and Diana (@mrsladydiana) keep it smart, irreverent, and legally nit-picky, with a real palimony case thrown in for good measure.
