Despite this, men the world over collectively spend hundreds of millions of dollars to attend seminars, download online courses and have one-on-one coaching sessions with instructors they feel can give them the dating life of their dreams. In the minds of students, many of these instructors become more than just teachers. They become idols. From the glossy exterior, where courses are packaged as self-improvement, to the dark underbelly of sexual assault, pyramid scheme marketing and secret collusion The Pickup Game pulls back the curtain to reveal a world that is fascinating and horrific in equal measure.","wins":0,"nominations":null,"casts":[{"name":"Maximilian Berger","code":"nm16442883","characters":"Self - Executive Coach, \u0027Real Social Dynamics\u0027"},{"name":"Marcus Nero","code":"nm10646059","characters":"Self - Instructor, \u0027Justin Wayne Dating\u0027"},{"name":"Robert Beck","code":"nm10646060","characters":"Self - Founder, \u0027The Beckster Lifestyle\u0027"},{"name":"Shaun Michael","code":"nm8724860","characters":"Self - Founder, \u00273 Second Rule\u0027"},{"name":"Minnie Lane","code":"nm10646061","characters":"Self - Dating and Personal Development Coach"},{"name":"Ross Jeffries","code":"nm1177096","characters":"Self - Author: \u0027How to Get the Women You Desire Into Bed\u0027"},{"name":"Paul Janka","code":"nm5230017","characters":"Self - Founder, \u0027Attraction Formula\u0027 \u0026 Harvard Graduate"},{"name":"Michael M","code":"nm16442884","characters":"Self - Former Pickup Marketing Expert"},{"name":"Nikolaos Brahimllari","code":"nm3423766","characters":"Michael M"},{"name":"Andrew","code":"nm16442995","characters":"Self - Pickup Student"},{"name":"Lisa Fox","code":"nm10646064","characters":"Self - Prosecuting Attorney \u0026 Deputy District Attorney, San Diego County"},{"name":"Erik von Markovik","code":"nm2743204","characters":"Self - Pickup Instructor, Founder of \u0027Social Dynamics\u0027 \u0026 Creator of \u0027The Mystery Method\u0027"},{"name":"Bruce Roth","code":"nm13664349","characters":"Self - Instructor, \u0027Justin Wayne Dating\u0027"},{"name":"Jennifer Li","code":"nm10646065","characters":"Self - Founder, \u0027#TakeDownJulienBlanc\u0027 Campaign"},{"name":"Alex James","code":"nm10646066","characters":"Self - Former Instructor, \u0027Real Social Dynamics (RSD)\u0027 \u0026 Founder, \u00274 Week Natural\u0027"},{"name":"Todd Valentine","code":"nm6459180","characters":"Self - Former Instructor, \u0027Real Social Dynamics (RSD)\u0027 \u0026 Founder, \u0027Todd V Dating\u0027"},{"name":"Jackie Speier","code":"nm2763412","characters":"Self - Congresswoman: 14th Congressional District, California"},{"name":"Linda Boisvert","code":"nm10646068","characters":"Self - Property Manager, San Diego"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[{"text":"online community"},{"text":"pickup artist"},{"text":"misogyny"},{"text":"early internet"},{"text":"cult of personality"}],"production":[{"id":"co0020360","text":"Ivy Film"},{"id":"co0743687","text":"Two Man Crew"},{"id":"co0548122","text":"Voodoo Productions"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":null,"moreLikeThisTitles":[{"code":"tt21391242","title":"Confidential Informant"},{"code":"tt8610036","title":"Captors"},{"code":"tt13686748","title":"Sin"},{"code":"tt15300538","title":"Tom"},{"code":"tt13039008","title":"Kill Shot"},{"code":"tt14349032","title":"The Good Neighbor"},{"code":"tt10004108","title":"Sacrifice"},{"code":"tt5598578","title":"Baa Baaa Black Sheep"},{"code":"tt16987912","title":"Singles"},{"code":"tt15552494","title":"Dungeon"},{"code":"tt10846008","title":"Bobcat Moretti"},{"code":"tt18284880","title":"I Am Rage"}]}
