The format of this show is very well planned and succinct with great content. Just started listening after seeing it recommended in a TikTok comment section and I’m skipping around to the movies I’m familiar with!
I really enjoy this podcast. While it's obvious that Hollywood takes a few liberties - sometimes more than a few - with the truth when adapting a real story to the big screen, it's interesting to hear where fact deviates from fiction as the plot rolls along. In some cases, such as 'The Hunt for Red October,' I wasn't even aware there was a basis in fact. In others, such as 'The Sound of Music' or 'Free State of Jones,' it was cool to hear the factual details behind the tale. Overall, it's an enjoyable show. I'll keep listening since Tinseltown keeps cranking out movies with a basis in real life.
This is a valuable show and a bit underrated when you consider that Americans watch more movies than we read books. Dan takes the time to bridge the gaps between Hollywood entertainment and historical facts. If you want to learn history from a relatable point of reference, this is a must-subscribe show for you!
Titanic comparison was down very well. I was quite impressed with his story and timelines. However, learn to pronounce names correctly please. Zodiac - Melvin Belli pronounced as Belly? Come on. Good show. Enjoyable, informative and takes you into the story “feel” quite well.
