Biopics (Mostly) Suck Podcast

by Tol House Productions

This is a strange little podcast.

On the surface, we are just another movie podcast that fact checks biopics. Scratch that surface and you will find that truth can be stranger than fiction. We are here with a mission to present the truth, gain a new appreciation of the topic at hand,and right some wrongs. The film will dictate where the discussion goes. Will it be politics, sports, pop culture, music or history? The possibilities are endless.

At the end of the episode, you will have a greater appreciation for the things you thought you knew.You might find that you fall in love the subject that we discuss. Or, what we share might make you mad. We get it. We feel the same way.

Take care.
