Paul and Corey Cross the Streams: S5E6 [RICHARD JEWELL (2019)]

Based on Corey's Waiting for Guffman (1996), Paul wanted to take a deeper look at people who struggle with being deluded (in so many words). And so... Richard Jewell (2019). Directed by king Clint Eastwood and written by Billy Ray - who brought us the "We Make Movies Better" campaign with Nicole Kidman, Richard Jewell tells the true story of Richard Jewell. He was working as a security guard at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, discovered a bomb on the grounds, saved hundreds of lives, became a hero in the media, and then... The film is packed with amazing performances. Paul Walter Hauser is simply stunning in the title role. The film garnered a fair amount of pushback around its representation of journalist Kathy Scruggs, and there's a lot to discuss there. A great film, and a great episode of PACCTS. Take a listen!
