Summary

Tyler Measom is an ex-Mormon filmmaker of incredible documentaries like "An Honest Liar" and "I Want My MTV." He recently co-directed the Netflix miniseries "Murder Among the Mormons" and joined Jess for a bonus interview. We discussed how Mark Hoffman's actions affected the Mormon Church, what happens when experts are fooled, and what he learned from the people he's interviewed. We would recommend watching "Murder Among the Mormons" before listening to this episode since we discuss the conclusions at length and spoilers abound. (Also: It's really very good!)
