Ladybugs (1992): Every Adult in This Movie Gets Sued | Let's Ruin It29 Jul45 min

<p>Can a childhood favorite survive a rewatch by three attorneys? Ladybugs (1992) could not.</p><p>In this episode of the Let&#39;s Ruin It Podcast, we put Rodney Dangerfield&#39;s soccer comedy on trial, from negligent hiring and background checks (the federal Safe Sport Act exists for a reason) to league fraud and ringers, child endangerment, and the emotional distress claims of an entire girls soccer roster. We map out the full lawsuit pileup, where the parents go after Chester, the company, and the league, we rule that the Ladybugs forfeit their championship, and we debate whether Chester lands on a registry. We also pay tribute to the late Jonathan Brandis, who deserved a much better movie than this one. Smart, irreverent, and legally nit-picky, this episode ruins a movie that honestly ruined itself first.</p><p>🎙️ Hosted by Jenny (@birzlaw), Liz (@lizcalandrillo), and Diana (@mrsladydiana)</p><p>Follow us on Instagram @letsruinitpodcast</p><p>For entertainment only; not legal advice.</p>
