On the podcast, we break down the first two episodes of MGM+’s new true-crime drama American Hostage, starring Jon Hamm: “My Town Indy” and “McMahon, Martinis & Madness.” The series, based on a scripted podcast of the same name, revisits the 63-hour standoff through the eyes of radio journalist Fred Heckman, who finds himself caught between reporting the story and trying to save a man's life.

With so many versions of the event, we do our best to sort through what matters most and discuss whether the show's expansion is justified. We also draw comparisons to Network and Dog Day Afternoon, as well as other Jon Hamm performances involving interviews and interrogations, including Black Mirror’s “White Christmas” and Richard Jewell.

Tune in to hear our thoughts and rating. Welcome to Today’s Episode!
