Hollywood Reporter's Chief TV critic Daniel Fienberg is the podcast guest this week. Fienberg joins host Saqib Ali to talk about Alex Gibney's documentary on former wimbledon champion Boris Becker. Becker's a compelling sports figure whose rise and fall has taken place in the public spotlight.
Fienberg weighs on many aspects of the documentary along with Gibney's style of filmmaking. Conversation also explores blatant comparisons with another fallen hero - Lance Armstrong.
If you are a tennis fan from the 90's this episode covers one of the biggest names of that era and Feinberg does a thorough job of separating Becker's lies from his irresponsible financial actions.
