Marc and Luke take a look at the pitch centered around journalist and cultural icon, Hunter S. Thompson. Following the arc of the pitch, Marc and Luke take a look at a very interesting period in Thompson's career and life.
"We know the Hunter S Thompson of lore, the hard drinking, gun shooting outlaw and literary genius holed up in his Colorado ranch. Who we don’t know is the man that came before and the circumstances that shaped his transformation from the optimistic intrepid reporter to the rogue anti-hero known as Raoul Duke. How did he get there and who did he meet along the way until he eventually blurred the lines between his own persona and the lead character in his most famous novel Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas?"
