Vengeance (2022)
This mystery thriller follows writer-director-star B.J. Novak as a New York City aspiring podcaster who travels to Texas to investigate the death of a woman he hooked up with. Novak told MovieMaker that his opportunistic character is “charmingly pathetic,” and explained why thinks there are so many journalists in movies.
“It’s a great structural sort of cheat because it means that the protagonist is discovering the story along with you. And the discovery of the story can be the plot. So you have this amazing head start if you have a journalist character,” Novak said.
“If you have a writer character who can talk and type about everything they’re experiencing and how they’re feeling, it’s perfect.”
