Inventor of Doom

Thomas Midgley Jr. may not be a household name, but the inventor is responsible for some of the most world-changing breakthroughs in history. And not in a good way. Anthony and Jeff take a look at the life of man who was part visionary, part carnival barker, and all bad for humanity.
