THE INSIDER

After seeking the expertise of former “Big Tobacco” executive Jeffrey Wigand, seasoned TV producer Lowell Bergman suspects a story lies behind Wigand’s reluctance to speak. As Bergman persuades Wigand to share his knowledge of industry secrets, the two must contend with the courts and the corporations that stand between them and exposing the truth. All the while, Wigand must struggle to maintain his family life amidst lawsuits and death threats.

Craig, Alan and guest Brendan Agnew talk about whistleblowers, movies our parents loved, popcorn buckets and the movie “The Insider” on this week’s Matinee Heroes.
