Popcorn Culture - Supercut: True Stories

Here's a true story - this "based on a true story" Supercut is based on a previous Supercut we did back in 2020 about movies and TV shows based on true stories. In the spirit of two critically acclaimed true event movies this week, Tetris and Air, we're revisiting our favourite movies and TV shows that are based on real people and events. We discuss the things Hollywood gets right about these adaptations, the level of creative license we're willing to accept, and when a "true story" becomes "loosely inspired by".
