TLDR:

Which prompts Stiller, ever the pragmatist, to think, “Time is valuable.” That’s why he and “Severance” showrunner Dan Erickson and the writing team have been spending much of the year planning Season 3 so that Stiller can step away and direct this feature film that tells the true story of a downed airman in occupied France and how he got involved with the French Resistance. Stiller also wants to make a movie based on the Rachel Maddow podcast “Bag Man,” detailing the bribery scandal surrounding Spiro Agnew, Richard Nixon’s vice president.

My grandfather went through this exact circumstance. The French Resistance helped him get to a secret camp full of British and American soldiers, and they spent most of the war hiding in the countryside and digging little holes so they could play mini-golf with hand-carved clubs.
