Collider can exclusively present a new clip for Paul T. Goldman, the weirdest true-crime limited series you’ve ever seen. The exclusive clip comes from the miniseries' fourth episode, set to premiere on Peacock this Sunday, January 8.
To understand what’s happening in the exclusive clip, first, we have to discuss what’s Paul T. Goldman all about. As the name implies, the series is about Paul T. Goldman, an actual person who fell in love with a woman and discovered she was part of an international crime ring. Goldman wrote a book about his misadventures, titled Duplicity: A True Story of Crime and Deceit, which enthralled Borat Subsequent MovieFilm’s director Jason Woliner.
After falling in love with Goldman’s book, Woliner decided to make a series about his story, a metalinguistic experiment mixing reenactments and behind-the-scenes exploration. Woliner worked on the miniseries since 2012, and do you know who he called to play Goldman? Well, Goldman himself! That’s right, folks, Paul T. Goldman stars Paul T. Goldman playing the role of Paul T. Goldman, based on the book by Paul T. Goldman.
In the exclusive clip, we watch the scene of a trial where Goldman has to explain to a lawyer how he met his former wife, Audrey Munson, and how he uncovered her schemes. During the trial, Goldman often rambles about his early life before meeting Audrey and constantly jumps to unfounded conclusions. His behavior angers Audrey’s lawyer and the judge himself.
The clip also underlines how weird is the Paul T. Goldman experiment. We are watching Goldman play himself based on his memories, in a limbo between fiction and reality. The scene is not crazy enough to distance itself from the true-crime tradition, but it’s mind-boggling to see Goldman reenacting his own life. So, we could say the exclusive clip is the perfect example of what awaits you on Peacock.
