The Good The Bad & The Ugly Podcast - Episode 22 Ex Detective Jon Wedger

The film Big Boys Don’t Cry is based on the true story of one man’s childhood and early adult life.

The British drama was released in 2020, but was only added to Netflix on 23 December and has fast become one of the most popular films on the streaming platform.

Its storyline follows a man who recalls his harrowing experience growing up in an abusive children’s home.



In the film, the main character, Paul Connolly (played by Michael Socha), is forced to confront his demonds after the death of a childhood friend.

Big Boys Don’t Cry is based on the ghost-written biography that tells the story of Connolly’s shocking childhood, with some parts of the film being fiction.

The never ending circle and slippery slope. The story of the coming of age, adulthood, freedom. Also the story of regretfully making the wrong choices during this new found freedom in life. Why were those choices made...

This week we are with Bradly Robinson. It takes a lot of courage, sacrifice and personal strength to turn up in front of a camera and speak the truths we heard and watched on this day. truths about some devastating moments during his childhood and truths about how for years it was buried deep within his own soul, causing countless problems, addiction, loss of family and almost the loss of his own life. It's time to join us now on this journey with Brad as we discuss the goo, the bad and the ugly.

Michael Branch was in his element. It was all beginning to work out. A better life, a new career in Premiership Football. Then it all came crashing down.

Join us on this amazing story of courage in the face of adversity, of a struggle to regain the power and control over ones life and the plan to make a new future by helping the youth of today deal with their own issues.

Dealing with the death of someone you know, whether it's a colleague or a friend is always going to be hard to cope with, but to also be drawn into the circumstances of how those deaths happened too can break a person. @leiversian is this week's guest. There's not much we can say about this story, it's honestly left us speechless and we can not find the adequate words to describe what unfolded on that fateful day.

The 22nd December 2016. The only way to truly know what happened and to learn from one persons perspective about this tragic story now as we hear Ian's full story.
