This true-crime documentary begins with a bizarre and shocking case: a pizza delivery driver robbed a bank while wearing a bomb around his neck, and the story only gets stranger from there.

I remember first seeing a documentary about this guy, and I was instantly hooked – that’s how I discovered Evil Genius. It’s seriously one of those stories that’s even wilder than anything you could make up. It’s got these moments that are darkly hilarious, but then it also gets really emotional. It’s a story about love, feeling totally alone, how people can be manipulated, and how ordinary people get caught up in something way bigger than they ever imagined.

The film also features performances by Michael Chernus, Danielle Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Tom McCarthy, Gregory Alan Williams, Owen Teague, Ryan Eggold, and Harlow Jane.

David Harbour is preparing for the last season of Stranger Things, a role he’s played as the popular character Jim Hopper since the show began in 2016.

Season 5 premieres on November 26th with the first four episodes, and it will bring the story of Hawkins to a climactic final showdown.

David Harbour recently shared that the cast was overcome with emotion and cried during a read-through of the show’s final episode.
