Haven’t heard of them until this article, but holy moly does the Ballard dude have a hero complex. Between the whole TV show idea, the movie, and that painting of himself, it seems to me that all he cares about is being the “chew bubblegum and kick ass” sort of action hero instead of legitimately trying to help the kids after they are “rescued”.
It sounds like to me this Operation Underground Railroad is really meant for tacticool dudebros and rich people to feel like something they’re not: a hero.
Exactly what I was thinking and planned to say here when I came to the comments. Well said. This is Meal Team Six stuff for kids who grew up watching too many bad action movies.
