On this episode of Objection! You’re Fiction, Lee Bergstein is joined by Dr. Christina Bruno, Associate Director at Fordham University’s Center for Medieval Studies. The two explore how medieval law shaped the world of Game of Thrones, and its spinoff series A Knight of Seven Kingdoms, unpacking the realities behind trial by combat, ordeals, and the powerful role of reputation in determining justice. The conversation reveals how these complex legal systems continue to echo in today’s understanding of law, power, and public perception.

On this episode of Objection! You’re Fiction, Michael Flynn, and Zachary Hanby are joined by nationally recognized aviation attorney and Fox Rothschild LLP partner Mark Dombroff.

In this conversation, Mark breaks down the classic holiday film Planes, Trains, and Automobiles to explore the inherent stress of airline travel, especially when traveling with children. He unpacks the many factors that amplify this stress, from arriving early and navigating security to managing delays, all layered on top of the everyday pressures people already carry.

This thoughtful look at a holiday classic—and at surviving the chaos of holiday travel—is one everyone can relate to.
