3. Truth Vs Hollywood
Several of Hollywood's finest films are inspired by true events and personal stories of tragedy, resilience, and success.
There is something significantly satisfying about a film based on real life. There is a profound joy in learning about a captivating tale based on true events. As you are compelled by a scene there is that contestant reminder that what you see on screen actually happened.
However, Hollywood has been known to take a few liberties with their film translations of real-life stories. Often criticised for glamorising crime stories and characters, leaving key details out to keep the story tight, or providing a solution to a story that does not have one.
Truth Vs Hollywood is a podcast that takes a critical look at the real story behind popular films that are based on a true story.
Hosts David Chen and Joanna Robinson examine some of these types of films as well as the larger theme of film vs real-life overall.
They compare the events of the film with the actual series of events by using interviews with writers, journalists, and the people who were there to give you the full story behind some of your favourite films.
