Episode Description from the Publisher

Chris Hansen joins Tyrus on Planet Tyrus and responds to Primetime, the new film starring Robert Pattinson that draws inspiration from Hansen’s famous predator investigations. Hansen says he was not consulted during the making of Primetime and strongly pushes back on what he saw in the film’s trailer, calling its portrayal a dark, fictionalized version of events. Chris Hansen explains why he believes the real story behind his investigations was already dramatic enough and why he thinks Hollywood got it wrong. Chris also reveals how he plans to respond: by putting his own message directly in front of moviegoers. Hansen says his team purchased 30-second ads scheduled to run before Primetime screenings across thousands of theaters, featuring his famous message: “Have a seat.” Learn more about your ad choices.
