This week on Jake and Pete’s Movie Talk, the boys are digging into their favorite movies based on true events.
From shipwrecks and cannibalism to financial collapses, Olympic hockey, classical composers, government whistleblowers and the Crusades, Jake and Pete put together two very different lists and ask the most important question of all: how much of this stuff actually happened?
Along the way, Jake explains why he’d usually rather watch Spider-Man punch Doctor Octopus than sit through a true story, Pete tries to convince him that real life can be stranger than fiction.
Plus honorable mentions, questionable historical accuracy, cannibalism etiquette, a very long duck joke, and the shocking revelation that Jake almost picked Moneyball again.
Based on true events. Probably.
