Judging Judy Episode #6 - Cruisin' for Disillusion | a comedy podcast

Case #1: He thought it was love; she thought they were gifts. It’s a classic he said, she said. It’s a sad sop cruise director vs. a flighty flight attendant. The only thing the two can agree on is that they are no longer in love. It’s up to Judy to decide if she owes him back the money and TV he bought; otherwise, she gets to watch the Super Bowl on with her new beau.Case #2: His dreams of karaoke fame and stardom relied on one thing: her money. But when they broke up, he kept on singing without paying her back. He claims that it was a gift and didn’t even need her money thanks to his lucrative hair cutting business. She says he’s a loser, a failure and kind of a weirdo. Will Judy side with the slighted ex-girlfriend who, all things considered, should have never given the guy money to begin with? Or will she side with the guy who’s proudly only working two nights a week at a bowling alley doing glow-in the dark karaoke?This is Judging Judy! The only show that turns the tables on America’s favorite TV judge. Or least favorite! It’s really up to you.It’s our duty to judge Judge Judy.Not familiar with Judge Judy? No problem! In each episode, I first set the scene by reminding you what was going on in the world when the episode originally aired; after all, it was on for over 25 years, so you can be forgiven for not remembering every single detail. Then, I do a play-by-play of the case, explaining what happened; I watch it, so you don’t have to. Finally, I decide if Judge Judy truly did her job that episode. I’m looking not only at the rulings themselves but the Judge’s conduct as well.Did she act like a child?Did she yell and scream and pout?Did she showboat?Did she roll her eyes too many times?Did she, ultimately, treat those who came before her with dignity and respect?If Judge Judy acted fairly, she’s innocent. If not, she’s guilty.Judge Judy is a comedy podcast like no other. With that said, if you like movie podcasts like Cinephobe, I think you’ll like Judging Judy.
