Why is it that when a movie or a TV show is based on a true story, all the sudden we become that much more interested in whatever we’re watching? Is it the IRL drama? Or is it the gag that we can’t believe real people do crazy shit like stealing airplanes or drugging the men of Wall Street and taking all their money? This week we’re talking to journalist Jessica Pressler, who wrote both “The Hustlers at Scores” (HHHHHHEYYYYY) and “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People”. She gives us an inside look at how these stories came to be, the relationships she has with the subjects of her stories, and what actually happened in those Rikers prison visits she had with Anna. If you loved “Hustlers” and “Inventing Anna” (and I know you did loves!) then this is the episode for you!
