Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and Keeping it Reel's David Fowlie explore the tabloid-terrorism of Clint Eastwood's Richard Jewell! In 1996, the titular Georgia security guard alerted authorities to a bomb inside Centennial Park during the Summer Olympics. Absent a clear suspect, the feds and the press quickly turned their suspicions to Jewell, sparking a months-long fight to clear his name.
In this spoiler-filled discussion, Ian and David take up opposing viewpoints on Richard Jewell, while finding some common ground in their debates on casting, dramatic license, and Eastwood's no-holds-barred critique of media and the government.
