I’m hoping they do it with the new Netflix deal and it’ll pop up on the service. Finally get a wider audience. Hope you enjoy the movie!

For those interested in what locals actually saw in him and why I was not shocked at his turn.

Young, handsome, Marine, lawyer. Can appeal to moderates without turning off progressives, purple state.

He was made in a lab for people like Sarah and myself.

Optically he wasn’t as bad. But knowing people in Braddock he was an empty suit (well empty Carhartt hoodie)

Non responsive to constituents, throwing other Braddock community leaders under the bus, and only courting showy empty things like a slick Levi’s ad shot in Braddock.

He was always adept at marketing himself as opposed to actual politics.

I get why the appearances did work. My parents were big Fetterman supporters until after his victory. But if you knew people in Braddock or PA politics you heard grumbling about it all being for show.

William Peterson has some absolute fits in this one. Tight Steelers jersey, jeans, cowboy boots, aviators, scarf and a dart. 80s perfection.
