His Parents Destroyed His Porn, So He Sued Them

You may have read news stories - or heard jokes - about the Indiana man who sued his parents this month for destroying his massive collection of porn. But his backstory is more complex and nuanced then the headlines and punchlines suggest. It's a complicated family drama we think is worthy of the big screen.On this episode, we delve deep into his life and his unapologetic about his love of porn. And we try to understand the family dynamic that we think led to his interest.As always, we have five segments: Why Now, Comps ("This story is THIS meets THIS!"), Key Scenes, Development (who should direct and star), and What Should We Call This Thing.Also: If you'd like to learn more about Paul Gonzenbach, the singer-songwriter we mention near the end of the episode, start here. He's fantastic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
