The Netflix documentary Evil Genius by brothers Mark Duplass and Jay Duplass tell the bizarre true story of the Erie, Pennsylvania “Pizza Bomber“, pizza delivery man Brian Wells who literally blew up while in police custody for bank robbery. As it turns out, someone had locked a bomb around Wells’ neck and sent him on a criminal scavenger hunt in search of the key. Unfortunately, Wells was caught and could not convince the police that he was locked to a ticking bomb. After the incident, police began investigating as to who was behind this incredibly macabre plot. The series documents the progress of the investigation, the mysterious couple involved and whether or not Wells was involved in his own demise.
