Description

Sticking with last episode’s theme, we’ll continue looking at period pieces and films that utilize and examine history. Three of the films in this episode detail historic events — the inception of a social media platform, innovation on the baseball diamond and investigative journalists uncovering a scandal involving the Catholic Church.

But the fourth film — which is the one we’ll be leading off this episode with — deals more with historical fiction.
