Bonus: Fyre Fest, ft. Movie-Go-Round!

Oh snap that’s right! It’s some between-season goodness, featuring the awesome folks at Movie-Go-Round! Brett, Nicole, and David join me (Greg) to discuss not the one, but the TWO Fyre Fest documentaries. We discuss the festival, the documentaries, and dive into the pros and cons of both films. Is it ok to pay your subject 6 figures for his story about conning people? Is it ok for the media team behind the festival to be involved in the documentary production? Who’s to blame? Let us know your thoughts!

Check out Movie-Go-Round on their website and wherever podcasts can be found! Also, follow the gang on twitter! Brett, Nicole, David.
