The Pez Outlaw (2022)

Steve Glew has some great stories about traveling to Europe, somehow getting direct access to PEZ factories, loading up with tons of dispensers not sold in the states, and getting the haul through customs. You're on his side against the seemingly petty "Pezident" in charge of American sales. He's scrappily living the American dream and seems to have found an appealing way to get rich with very little capital.

But, eventually, Steve contracts with a factory to produce PEZ dispensers of his own design. Despite his attitude (seemingly shared by the trading community and the documentarians) that he's the little guy and PEZ should calm down, I was firmly NOT on his side. I mean... what if I took a Nike tennis shoe and had a factory copy it but in alternate color combos? That wouldn't be clever, it would be illegal and what Steve did was no different. Once he lost the moral high ground, I ceased to be interested in his story.
