S2E18: How Porn led to a deep dive investigation into a massive movie production house

His tales stretch from directing commercials and music videos to rubbing shoulders with celebrities like Courtney Love. But it"s not all glitz and glamour; Captain doesn"t shy away from pulling back the curtain on the darker side of the industry, recounting incidents of intense pressure, humiliation, and the constant hustle required to stay afloat.  Venturing beyond Hollywood, we unfold the controversial Hobbit Law in New Zealand, a legislation that has stirred up a storm in the global film industry.
