Tom Slick, born in 1916, led a life straight out of an Indiana Jones movie. He was the son of Thomas Baker Slick Sr.—“The King of the Wildcatters”—a Pennsylvanian who made a fortune in the Oklahoma oil fields. In 1933, his stepfather was abducted from their family home by Machine Gun Kelly, a crime that ultimately landed the infamous gangster behind bars once and for all. And during W.W. II, Slick worked for the U.S. War Department doing covert operations in South America. Most outlandish of all, he was an avid monster hunter, leading expeditions to find the Loch Ness Monster, the Yeti, and Bigfoot. A new podcast puts a dramatic spin on the tale, casting Owen Wilson as Slick and Schuyler Fisk as his granddaughter, Liv Slick. With the help of old cassette tapes that Liv finds in her mother’s attic, an utterly cinematic story unspools. —Paulina Prosnitz
