Magnificent Jerk
On the last day of her grandmother’s life, journalist Maya Lin Sugarman finds a box of forgotten screenplays that sets her on a journey to uncover the truth about their author: her late uncle, Galen. She discovers that he was a leader of a Chinese gang, that he went to jail, and, in a final twist, that he poured his life story into a screenplay that was turned into a ’90s Hollywood action movie…starring Rob Lowe, Burt Reynolds, and Ice-T. Magnificent Jerk is an Apple Original podcast, produced by Pineapple Street Studios. Listen and follow on Apple Podcasts. apple.co/MagnificentJerk

A great listen

I really enjoyed this pod. I do love an investigative podcast and this was no exception. Even though it’s about a family I’m very far removed from it was interesting to hear their story unfold. And sure enough I’ve seen the main subject in a couple of movies which helps you recognise that this is about a real person, not just a story.
A family story beautifully told

Not very good

Sounded like a family tale to tell around the kitchen table, rather than interesting enough for audiences outside of the family
