In this 31-minute episode of the “Mentorship Matters with Dave & Liz” podcast, Dave and I were delighted to continue our conversation about Hollywood portrayals of securities law issues and securities lawyers – again featuring enthusiastic color commentary from Charles Lee, who serves at the SEC as Senior Advisor, Office of the Chairman, and Ted Yu, who serves at the SEC as Associate Director of Specialized Policy & Disclosure in the Division of Corporation Finance. In this episode, we discussed:

1. Board and compliance dynamics in “Billions.”

2. Schedule 13D anarchy in “Other People’s Money.”

3. Hollywood’s take on shareholder meetings.

4. Why IPOs are an underutilized securities law plot.

5. Honorable mentions for favorite securities law movies and tv shows.

6. SEC Historical Society’s list of securities law in film, radio, and television.

7. Wrap-up thoughts on securities law in Hollywood.

If you missed Part 1 of this conversation, you can check out Dave’s recent blog about it – and all of our prior episodes are available in our podcast archive.

In both episodes, Charles and Ted were speaking with us in their individual capacities – and as always, the SEC disclaims responsibility for any private publication or statement of any SEC employee or Commissioner, and this podcast expresses the speakers’ views and does not necessarily reflect those of the Commission, the Commissioners or other members of the SEC staff.

Thank you to everyone who has been listening to the podcast! If you have a topic that you think we should cover or guest who you think would be great for the podcast, feel free to contact Dave or me by LinkedIn or email.
