Magnificent Jerk
![Magnificent Jerk](/assets/artwork/1x1.gif)
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

I think you did a fantastic job telling your uncle’s story. The good and the bad. I do NOT agree at all with the bad reviews here. I hope you find another story to tell.
A light and fun listen

So many of the podcasts I listen to these days cover such dark subject matter that I find myself waiting to start the next episode until I’m feeling better about the world because I binging them can throw me into a depression. This one is different though, it still has the drama of mistakes made and a life gone off the rails but it’s told in tandem with the story of a low budget film production. The two come together in the most satisfying of ways. I found it highly engaging and enjoyable.
