It was iconic, man.
Yeah, it's called American Hostage.
It's about a real thing that happened in the 70s in the states in Indianapolis.
It was a hostage situation where a guy took a bank manager hostage, tied a gun around his neck, and walked him around for 63 hours straight.
Jesus.
Yeah, it's real.
It was 1977.
I was six years old.
You guys weren't born yet.
But I vaguely have a recollection of this incident when it happened.
But it was kind of the first thing that happened where local story kind of blew up into national news.
And I play the radio reporter that the hostage taker, he was his favorite radio guy, newsman.
So he said, you got to get my story out.
You got to tell the people my story.
And so he's kind of conflicted.
He's going live on the air with this guy who's a loose cannon who also has a dude at the end of a shotgun that could go sideways at any moment.
So it's very tense.
It's very exciting.
Fuck yeah.
It's going to be a good one.
