On this episode of Obsessed, Matt Wilstein sits down with Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville to discuss his new documentary Man on the Run, which explores Paul McCartney’s turbulent decade after The Beatles broke up. Neville reflects on revisiting McCartney’s most painful years, the lingering blame over the band’s split, and how John Lennon’s death ultimately reshaped Paul’s identity and career. The conversation also spans Neville’s acclaimed films on Steve Martin, Anthony Bourdain, Johnny Cash, and more, offering a candid look at how documentaries can become an unexpectedly powerful form of therapy for their subjects.
