“I had noticed that this was on Netflix when I came across the actual documentary about Jan Lewan (also on Netflix.) Its called u0026#39;The Man Who Would Be Polka King,u0026#39; complete with actual footage and interviews with many of his true victims, and some of the actual escapades depicted are far more absurd than anything pictured in The Polka King.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe movie was not that bad, but the knowledge of the actual events makes it kinda blah.”
