Satan's Lawyer is the podcast where Juno-winning comedian Ivan Decker and person Andrey Summers defend the indefensible! They think fossil fuels are amazing, that gun control is nonsense, and that the earth is obviously, self-evidently flat. Each episode, they take turns defending the controversial…
Ivan Decker and Andrey Summers
You heard correctly: we're finally back for season 4! And now that Ivan, Andrey AND Satan all have sons, they circle the wagons to vigorously defend that position. Also, Andrey makes a scene at a pancake house (you gave him a year, what did you think would happen), and Ivan burgles a hospital (ditto).
Believe it or not, last year we DID record a finale for Season 3, and believe it more/less or not, HERE IT IS. Next month, finally a return to your regularly scheduled programming. Only better. And in HD. PS: This episode includes a BONUS APOLOGY WITH FIONA
Andrey and Ivan have at this point both clocked an extra birthday each, and Satan would like them to cut it out. Also, Dune is on everyone's minds because this podcast was released a billion years later than originally intended. Additionally, Ivan is a sports troll, and Andrey battles with his great nemesis the ocean. To be clear, we know it is December but this is NOT THIS YEAR'S HOLIDAY EPISODE.
Hot off the controversy surrounding his character in Satan's Lawyer: The Movie, Satan suggests the legal team get in the corner of Marvel Studios, who apparently desperately need fans? Also, Ivan is likely put on a list of some kind by CSIS, Andrey has no respect for privately displayed portraiture, and young Jennica kills a little time in the family car by free-associating some formative terrors for her little brother.
Satan's got a dinner date, while Ivan, Andrey and also apparently Vance Banzo, would argue there should be no more of those. Or at least of the places where they tend to occur. Also, Ivan's father goes full Boomer-Karen, Andrey issues an apology to wives, and Vance is what you might very reasonably call a CAT-burglar.
It's Star Wars Day and Satan is feeling the franchise fatigue, so Andrey and Ivan invite author, Mashable editor and genuine Star Wars scholar Chris Taylor on to prove that the sweet Lucasfilm tap should NEVER be turned off. Also, Ivan doesn't realize what year it is, Andrey is involved in a heinous online misinformation campaign pre-Qanon, and Chris fully leaks parts of the Star Wars Episode I script in TIME Magazine, holy crap you guys.
Australian Comedian and Podcaster Alexei Toliopoulos is abducted by Satan for the third April running to lament with our didactic duo the great curse of having any kind of sense of humour. Also, Ivan finally snaps, Andrey creates as much work as he can for exclusion specialists, and Alexei is RESUMING NORMAL LIFE IN A PLACE WITH NO COVID?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
As Season Three kicks off, our heroes welcome award winning comedian and spokesperson for the Ketchup Hater Community Sophie Buddle to discuss the joys of virtual reality. Also, Ivan is betrayed from within, Andrey can't shut up no matter the stakes, and Sophie is cheated by a cheat meal.
On the resplendent second season finale, Fiona joins Ivan and Andrey to tabulate the sins of Christmas songs and carols - which she happens to LOVE. Also, Ivan is bamboozled by an internet huckster, Andrey has dirt blindness, and Fiona is bad at keeping it secret that she's keeping a secret.
Ivan and Andrey welcome Australia's Cameron James (comedian, podcaster, wonderboy, sort-of detective, in a way) to talk about why patriotism no bueno. Also, Ivan admires/eats various water fowl, Andrey thinks Vampires are real for a bit, and Cameron abjectly spurns his local baristas' friendly attempts at familiarity and helpfulness.
With COVID Halloween and the U.S. Presidential Election looming above a climate-addled hate zoo, Ivan and Andrey invite author, poet, artist and podcaster Duncan Shields to help them take perhaps the most dubious position they've ever assumed: That things will in fact be okay. Also, Ivan befouls a new mattress delivery, Andrey gets pulled over, and Duncan just walks into traffic like it's nothing.
Nature's been a real unfit mother lately, and Satan teleports in Beaverton/This Hour Has 22 Minutes writer Emma Overton to help with an intervention. Also, Ivan does not have COVID, Andrey is attacked by a table, and Emma is vexed by her unresolved feelings regarding a man, a lie (?), and a tennis bag.
Satan's bummed out that with COVID there won't be any summer at the lake for him with his chill summertime crew. Ivan and Andrey, not on said crew, set out to prove to him that vacations are friends to no-one. Also, fully cogent adult Ivan returns to Los Angeles from Canada as its COVID cases skyrocket (really!), and teenage Andrey refuses to go to Disney World because he might miss a week of school.
Satan's had it up to here having to self-isolate with his son, but Ivan and Andrey are having none of his pro-scholastic rhetoric. Also, Ivan tries to incept cakes into existence, and Andrey just wants a little taste of that sweet, sweet nectar: condensed milk.
Satan, nothing if not productive, demands that Ivan & Andrey quit wasting time and convince the world why unceasing productivity should be the norm. Also, Ivan is the sh**ty king of puzzles, and Andrey has devolved substantially.
With Satan self-isolating down in hell, Ivan and Andrey welcome Australian comedian Alexei Toliopoulos back to talk about the flawless perfection of everyone's beloved eternal utopia Hollywood. Also, Ivan enters a forbidden tunnel, Andrey terrorizes an old man, Alexei incepts his own mother and none of those things are nearly as terrible as they sound.
After alienating Satan, Ivan and Andrey welcome country music superboy Wes Mack to talk about why there's nothing more annoying and unnecessary than friendship. Also, Andrey abuses the help, Ivan sleeps away a years' worth of work, and Wes selflessly cancels plans at the last possible moment.
They said it couldn't be done! Or at least probably shouldn't! And yet here we are with season TWO. To kick things off, Satan demands millennials be taken down a peg or two, because of all the generations they definitely deserve it most, right? Also, Ivan has a dark secret in his freezer, and Andrey is the bowl king. [This episode features Creative Commons music by Scott Buckley.]
In the final episode of season 1, and of 2019, Ivan and Andrey welcome producer of this show and famed Christmas-lover Fiona to wade into the morass on whether Christmas Specials should even exist. Incidentally, this is our Christmas Special. Also, Fiona laughs in someone's face, Ivan selects confectionary, and Andrey is not at the airport when he perhaps should be.
With Satan off trick-or-treating, Ivan and Andrey welcome The Beaverton's Alex Huntley to talk about Hallowe'en, but all he wants to talk about is Brexit. Also, Ivan is easily upsold, Andrey gets a little too close to a milk carafe, and Alex fully pilots a plane into the wrong airport.
Satan is scandalized to find out that in Canada, Thanksgiving encroaches dangerously on Hallowe'en. He demands that Ivan and Andrey cancel it, which they reluctantly do. Also, Ivan beefs online with a Scottish Pub, and Andrey throws a tree at a chiropractor.
School's back in session, and Satan is in tatters missing those long summer days with his cute little son Damien (the Antichrist). Ivan and Andrey help out by convincing him that school is no place for a child. Also, Ivan ghosts a friend in need, and Andrey unveils a Box of Lies.
It's a hot one out there, and Satan's keen to hit the beach and/or his favourite patio. Ivan and Andrey, however, HATE summer - and they're going to make you hate it too, or at the very least hate listening to them during it. Also, Andrey is given the WRONG salad (except he isn't), and Ivan leaves the airport with GREAT efficiency (except he doesn't).
Canada Day is upon us, and to celebrate Ivan and Andrey tear up the Social Contract - Canada's most cherished unwritten document. Also, Andrey hates strangers and Ivan commits toilet seat fraud.
Satan's so over-worked this month that he can't stay and chat, so Vancouver improviser, producer and general man-about-town Andrew Barber joins Ivan and Andrey to talk up the merits of the 40-hour work week. Also, Ivan comes off as deeply racist, Andrey visits scandal upon an architecture firm, and Andrew tells genuinely haunting stories about his war crimes at laser tag.
As hot goss about the Royals hits the social meeds, Satan demands that Ivan and Andrey join him on the bandwagon. They hate the bandwagon. Also, Ivan trivializes a kidnapping at his own peril, and Andrey learns the term "blue light blockers" through much heartache.
In another double-length double whammy of an episode, Satan is distracted by a (literal) flame war with some (literal) trolls and so Ivan and Andrey welcome Aussie comedian Alexei Toliopoulos (from hit podcast "Finding Drago") to extol the virtues of Social Media. Also, Ivan scams his way into some wine, Andrey steals from people in pain and Alexei admits to something that is "slightly a crime".
Hell is unseasonably cold, and it's got Satan buggin' about climate change. Our heroes marshall science, common sense and recalcitrance to convince him that irreversible global temperature increases are actually A-Okay. Also, someone gets in Ivan's personal space while sleeping on a plane, and Andrey gets into the personal space of a police officer while they're wide awake.
In a lovey-dovey double-length Febisode, Ivan and Andrey try to cheer up lonely lifelong bachelor Satan by convincing him that romantic love is for the birds. Also on the subject of birds, Ivan is menaced by a mutant one that thinks he's its father. Andrey tells a scandalous wedding tale.
This month, Ivan and Andrey try to get Satan to break his New Years' Resolution by convincing him that sugar is amazing and everyone should always be eating as much of it as possible. Also, Ivan shares a shameful holiday party life-hack and Andrey reveals another time he rocked his family with betrayal.
This month, our heroes prove that fossil fuels are absolutely the best source of energy in the cosmos. Also, Ivan works through his issues with chicken delivery, and Andrey runs into problems with his name at a coffee shop, but NOT HOW YOU'D EXPECT.
