Jason Woliner on the hilarious, gripping, and cathartic Paul T. Goldman finale
kids cry. Most relevantly, Woliner was a key collaborator in, and his work with fellow needling comedian Nathan Fielder led him to the top of the docu-comic mountain. In 2020, he directed, a project he started a decade ago.spoke with Woliner about bringing his 10-year journey to an end, meeting the show’s supposed villain, and why there are so many Paul T. Goldmans on television.The A.V. Club: This show is a very relatable.
There are a lot of things that are specific to Paul, but also there are very universal things about him and his story. He was on the hunt for something that could make his life make sense. He suddenly realized his life was not what it seemed and was desperate to find a version of reality that made sense. He took this evidence that he found in the trash and that he subpoenaed in the divorce trial, and he built a functional reality that worked.
AVC: How often were you having these conversations and challenging his beliefs prior to the big reveal with Cadillac and Zwiner?I went into it with only the information in Paul’s books and evidence. He gave me all of his findings, and I was always very skeptical of the whole sex trafficking side of things. Based on the evidence that we have, it just seemed to me maybe some low-level general shadiness with the passports.there.
But I didn’t know that until the very end. It was only a few months ago that we went down there and contacted Cadillac, finally, after all these years, thinking maybe he was, like, a dangerous criminal and were afraid to call him. As soon as we met him, he was like the friendliest guy in the world, charismatic and very welcoming. And it all became what it really is.
You see me throughout the show poking a little bit and challenging him on certain aspects and trying to look at things from a different perspective. But I was never really trying to debunk anything that I really didn’t know in the end.AVC: Cadillac seems like such a chill guy in his interviews. I’m sure most people would not be so cool about the public accusations Paul’s making. How scared were you confronting him?AVC: He might be the head of a sex trafficking ring.We were scared to reach out.
