Summary

In this new interview Tim Pilleri and Lance Reenstierna speak with documentary director Patricia E. Gillespie about her excellent new film They Called Him Mostly Harmless, now available to stream on Max. When an unidentified hiker is found deceased in the Florida wilderness, authorities release a sketch. Multiple hikers call in claiming to have met the man. There's only one problem – he never told them his name. It would take two years, thousands of devoted internet sleuths, and a miracle of science to identify him, and that's when the trouble really starts. A character-centric reimagining of a classic true crime genre, THEY CALLED HIM MOSTLY HARMLESS is about finding yourself when you’re looking for someone else.
