Episode #474: ‘Primetime’ with Gillian Walters

Director Lance Oppenheim’s debut feature, Primetime, has a sales pitch that’s hard to deny: Robert Pattinson as To Catch a Predator host Chris Hansen. So does the movie live up to that enticing promise? We have true crime buff, former Dateline devotee, and co-host of All Things Cozy, Gillian Walters, with us to discuss the film as both a work of fiction and a portrait of real (if complicated) man and moment in TV history. Then we’ll talk about some of our most memorable morally ambiguous movies
