Move fanatic Michael Scott is a regular on the film podcast The Dana Buckler Show and a huge fan of the related podcast F This Movie! When he’s not lending his expertise to an episode of “The 20th Century Movie Club,” he’s working in Utah as a prosecuting attorney.

Mike talks with Colin about his career path in the justice system–beginning with his time at Emory University law school–and gives some recommendations about films he’s been watching lately. He also lets us know which lawyer movies get the details right. Hint: his favorite legal flick may not be what first comes to mind.

Mike and Colin share an early memory of Star Wars and talk about how the movies have changed in their lifetime. Are the movies better than ever? Have crowds killed the movie-going experience? And most important of all, will the movies survive?
