Episode notes
This is a brilliant film directed by Milos Forman, released in 1996 that garnered several Oscar nominations. It was co-produced by Oliver Stone and star Woody Harrelson as the publisher of Hustler Magazine, Larry Flint, Oscar nominee Courtney Love, who plays Althea Flynt and Ed Norton who plays Flynt's lifelong attorney who delivers a fantastic performance when he is litigating in the Supreme Court on Flynt's behalf, against evangelist Jerry Falwell. It's beautifully acted, it's humorous, touching and inspiring to watch, as Flynt built his publishing empire over decades, eventually publishing 29 different magazines with global distribution.
