If you were living in Texas and looking for a hit man in the 1990s, Gary Johnson was your man. He was willing to take jobs from just about anyone. From scorned lovers to teens seeking revenge, no request was off limits. The catch? He wasn’t a professional killer at all. In fact, he was an undercover investigator for the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. In this episode we dive into the wild and stranger than fiction story behind Hit Man (2023), the Netflix romantic crime comedy directed by Richard Linklater and staring Glen Powell. We compare the film’s charismatic, identity-shifting antihero to the actual man behind the legend and discuss some of his high-profile cases. Join us as we separate fact from fiction in one of the most bizarre true crime stories to hit the big screen.
