As much as I liked pat in the beginning, I'm not sure if he was the best person to be the lead interviewer on this project. It felt as though they could've gotten more information from everyone they talked to if they had a more professional and seasoned interviewer at least guiding pat through these interviews. It felt like no one really took him seriously and he wasn't asking them the right questions in the right way. I thought his story throughout the documentary was an interesting addition and in the beginning he was funny. But if they just randomly checked in on him periodically like the other former workers I feel like it would've been a better move for the doc. Seeing him run around and try to talk to all of these people in an oversized blazer and a cowboy hat just became sad for me. He wouldn't even take off his sunglasses in certain situations. And when they finally got the senator interview pat just talked at him. Didn't use the time to ask any questions and then started making demands. Pretty clear the senator had no clue what he signed up for and got out of there as soon as possible. Didn't even seem like he was uncomfortable with the topic of conversation just pat. I guess they brought more light to the telemarketing situation but I can't help but feel like they could've made a bigger impact and uncovered more information if they had someone professional handling the interviews.
