The McMillion$ Podcast

HBO presents HBO Docs club, a podcast that pulls back the curtain on a wide variety of titles from the HBO Documentary Films unit. We wanted to give you access to the third episode, where hosts Brittany Luse (For Colored Nerds) and Ronald Young, Jr. (Solvable) discuss 'The Invisible Pilot,' a 2022 three-part docu-series that starts with a disappearance and family secrets but ends up inside one of the biggest political scandals of our time. Brittany and Ronald interview director Phil Lott and executive producer Todd Schulman about the process of making the film. They also speak with journalist and podcast host Leon Neyfakh (Fiasco, Slow Burn) about the lasting impact of the Iran Contra Affair. Subscribe to HBO Docs Club now to listen to more episodes.
