First hour: Is it realistic to expect judges to remain apolitical?
Second hour: The new Ghostbusters movie and perceptions of women in comedy
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg touched off a national conversation about the behavior of judges when she harshly criticized Donald Trump. From all political sides, Ginsburg was criticized for abandoning the judicial code of conduct that requires judges not to voice political opinions. She later apologized. We'll discuss whether it's realistic to expect judges to remain apolitical, and why it matters when they speak about political candidates. Our guests:
- Mark Foti, chair of the Monroe County Bar Association Criminal Justice Section, and former public defender
- Patricia Marks, retired Monroe County Court Judge
- Jim Bowers, chair of the Department of Legal Studies at St. John Fisher College
Then in our second hour, is the new Ghostbusters movie any good? That's one question. Then there's the question of why it's become so polarizing. And one of the cast members recently said that she's tired of hearing the term "female comedian," because we never use the term "male comedian." Why are women treated differently on screen? We'll discuss all of that and more. Our guests:
- Beth Winslow, actor and comedian
- Eric Stevens, pop culture writer and LEGO designer
- Char Broome, comedian who performs under the name Char B
