Playwright Paul Hood joins Wally to talk about their favorite biopics — and some famous people who deserve the biopic treatment. Inspired by this year's Oscar-nominated biopics (and biopic-adjacent) A Complete Unknown and The Brutalist, we take a deep dive into the history of the genre.
Just a few of the movies discussed: A Complete Unknown, The Brutalist, Malcolm X, Ray, Rocketman, Bohemian Rhapsody, Notorious, What's Love Got to Do With It, Strange Days, The Aviator, The Wolf of Wall Street, What Happened Miss Simone? and Hunger.
