Top 10 “Based on a True Story” Movies (Chaos Edition)

00:00 — Jim Forgot the Topic The coldest open imaginable. Jim admits he thought this episode was about remakes. Geoff and David lose it. 03:00 — “Okay, Welcome to The Critics Club…” The trio finally introduces the actual episode: Top 10 Movies Based on a True Story. Geoff goes first because apparently he’s the only one prepared. 05:30 — : Cool Runnings (Geoff) This immediately causes a fight about Fargo, movie disclaimers, Coen brothers, and whether Geoff’s childhood Jamaican accent was appropriate (it was not). 12:00 — : The Founder / McDonald’s Lore Geoff drops McDonald’s history facts. Jim debates accuracy. David threatens to reorganize his list mid-episode. 17:00 — : The Imitation Game This turns into a side detour about Cumberbatch, Cillian Murphy, Peaky Blinders, and who would break whose face. 23:00 — : October Sky Surprisingly wholesome. Rockets, NASA dreams, and childhood inspiration. Also someone immediately compares it to Oppenheimer for no reason except chaos. 28:00 — : Killers of the Flower Moon Leo plays “a box of rocks,” crimes against the Osage Nation, and the bleakest section of the list. 32:00 — : The Wolf of Wall Street Everyone loves it way more than they want to admit. The theater-reaction tangent is pure gold. 40:00 — / / (David’s Wildcard Zone) Includes: Zero Dark Thirty accuracy debates Catch Me If You Can (“IT’S NOT A REAL STORY” fight) Hacksaw Ridge Letters from Iwo Jima A surprise Ip Man entry 53:00 — : Oppenheimer Everyone saw this coming. Everyone still talks about it too long. Score appreciation. Nolan speculation. Sea monsters?? 1:04:00 — Bonus Chaos 300 trolling Ridley Scott disagreements Mel Gibson chair-yelling stories A brief existential crisis about sad dog movies ( Hachi ) Friends come and meet once a month at the Critics Club to discuss their favorite movies, tv shows, video games and much more. Some are more right than others, but that’s half the fun. Join Jim, David and Geoff as they duke it out over their latest opinions. Tune in to our podcasts and read our lovely reviews at
