EP 17: BASED ON A TRUE STORY...? (discussing the accuracy and quality of movies based on true stories and actual events)

<p>Wes is a history geek AND a movie nerd so we wanted to chat a little bit about 'based on true story' movies. we discuss movies such as 127 Hours, 12 Years a Slave, Apollo 13, Zodiac, Richard Jewel, First Man, Social Network, 15:17 to Paris, Fargo, Assassination of Jesse James, and more! we also answer questions such as:</p> <p>how accurate do films based on true stories need to be?</p> <p>does the filmmaker have a responsibility to the sources material?&nbsp;</p> <p>can it be deceptive to an audience if the movie says based on a true story even if the movie isn't accurate?</p> <p>follow us on instagram: instagram.com/thispodcastisnotforyou</p>
