The True Crime Story of Christian Longo vs its Hollywood Counterpart "True Story" (2015)

Cinematically Correct

This week we discuss the true crime story of family annihilator Christian Longo and the Hollywood movie made about it "True Story". While normally we like to argue with each other, True Story had us arguing with the directors as well as Mike Finkel on choices made for the direction of True Story.

In this episode we do our best to give you the details we could find about the True Crime story of Christian Longo. From there we discuss the movie's perspective of Mike Finkel and why we think this perspective did a disservice to the film. Could Jonah Hill and James Franco be taken seriously in a serious role? Does a killer deserve to have their story told?

Tyler give us a history minute talking about the history of Carlo Gesualdo the composer who murdered his family as talked about in the move. Was this a creative liberty or did this actually happen?

Audience asks this week came with some good questions, mostly about the cast. Would we have picked different actors?
