We’re taking a trip back to 1998 this week with two cases about warring couples that have reached the end of their respective roads. The break-ups already happened; now it’s up to Judy to decide if our plaintiffs will get paid! Whether it’s because of a broken promise or a broken door, love is out of the question, but only the Judge will be able to say if money is still an option.

And, of course, it will be up to us to decide if Judy did her job — if she’s innocent. Because this is Judging Judy, the only podcast that turns the tables on America’s least favorite, favorite TV judge.

Our first case features a plaintiff who says she only gave up her life in Los Angeles because her new boyfriend said he’d support her in San Diego and that they’d eventually even marry. However, just six days after she moved in with him, they were on the outs and she found herself with no job and no where to live. She wants to be compensated for upending her life. He says she’s crazy and was in fear for his life. Will the judge see things her way or will she side with the defendant and decide that getting dumped doesn’t mean you get paid?

Case 2 features an abusive boyfriend who wants history stuff back from his ex. Despite beating his then-girlfriend and breaking down the door of their former apartment, he says he just wants to be friends. Oh, and he wants back his computer and his grill, too. She says he’s in violation of his restraining order and, despite whatever she may have once felt for him, he’s a creep. I can confirm, he is a creep, but the judge will have to decide if that’s grounds for him not getting back his stuff.

After all that, it’s up to us to pass judgement on the judge herself. For over 25 years, Judge Judy has been a household name, a pop culture figure like no other. Still revered for her no-nonsense attitude, Judy continues to pass judgement on Americans to this day.

But what about her?

Only now do we get to look at Judy and decide if she acted fairly! Only now do we get to look at Judy and decide if she delivered justice! Only now do we get to look at Judy and decide if she’s innocent!
A comedy podcast without any equals, Judging Judy turns the paradigm upside down by reexamining Judge Judy, a cultural icon. Fans of the Doughboys, Comedy Bang Bang, the Colbert Report and pizza will love this podcast for its unique perspective, its unassailable wit and its incisive commentary on America and American society.
