Welcome to You Can't Make This Up, a companion podcast from Netflix.

I'm Rebecca Lervoy and I'll be hosting this week's episode.

Here on You Can't Make This Up, we go behind the scenes of Netflix's original true crime stories with special guests.

This month we're talking about The Pharmacist.

In 1999, Dan Schneider was a small town pharmacist in Louisiana.

But after his son is killed in a drug-related shooting,

he becomes obsessed with getting justice.

Against the odds, he finds his son's murderer.

But a few months later, he also recognizes the symptoms of a growing

epidemic. I'll be speaking with directors Jenner First and Julia Willoughby Nason. In the Purdue Pharma and the opioid epidemic. We will be discussing spoilers so

make sure you've seen all four episodes of The Pharmacist. Now here's my

conversation with Jenner and Julia. I'm Dan Schneider and I'm a pharmacist. I can almost remember every piece of my life.

I have hundreds of hours from wiretapping phone conversations about what happened to me.

My son was murdered, buying crack.

The police have the attitude that these kids maybe got what they deserved.

But I was determined to get to kill off the street.

If the police wasn't going to do it, I was going to do it.

I'm so excited to be talking to the dynamic duo behind the pharmacist, Jenner First.

Yeah, great to be here.

And Julia Willoughby Nason, nice to talk to you as well.

Thank you so much.

Excited to be here too.
