Paul T Goldman

Im trying to get through ep1, but really struggling to get into this

 

I watched all 4 episodes. I really just wanted to see what was true. It was obvious he was being taken advantage of, but was hard to tell what actually happened. Then it just got really weird in episode 4 and ended weirdly.

 

I’d describe it as if tiger king played himself in a show about him talking about everything that happened, and you didn’t know what actually was real until the last episode. Then he wrote a completely made up ending

 

oh that makes sense

 

Episode 5 might be the best one. Really curious how this ends. That Cadillac guy at the end is a real guy and comes up in google

 

Might watch it. The director was on comedy bang bang and talked about it.

 

I just started a re-listen from the beginning a few weeks ago because I know I missed some chunks during the tenure of the pod. Had just listened to Woliner on episode like 40 and really enjoyed it and then was super surprised when he ended up on the most recent episode. Nothing like a little 750+ episode gap between appearances….

 

I watched the first 3 episodes last night and enjoyed it. I mean I guess the point is you are not supposed to know what is real and google searches certainly don't help in any way. At the point I am at, I guess it all could be fiction. They are certainly making it seem as if he is fantasizing about what his ex-wife may have been into. I am curious to see where this goes. I do find him funny in an awkward way.

 

Episode 4 and 5 were awful. I enjoyed it when I though there was some truth to the story but now it is just dumb.

 

I get the point, but it is not for me. It is just dumb and a one trick pony with scenes that don't matter once the trick is revealed.

 

This article helped me see it through a different perspective and helped me get through the last episode. I think he did a great job of bringing it home, but I definitely think he could have cut a lot out in the fourth and fifth episode. Ultimately I enjoyed the conclusion but part of me feels he was taken advantage of once again, and the fact that he led him on for ten years to get the outcome is a bit cruel. The flip side is he helped Paul also see the truth and it clearly was baggage he didn’t need. Maybe a win win? Regardless, I prefer the reality of the sixth episode so much more to the pure fiction of the fifth.
