‘Based on a True Story…?’: Biopics at CineClub

Biopics are a relatively new genre so the team of Matthew, Ben, Samanatha and Jake have some fun highlighting the key elements and emerging trends in this type.

There’s a review of Air (2023), A Complete Unknown (2024), Rocket Man (2019) and Patton (1970). The team wonder about ‘truth’ claims in some of the films and whether the tendency to represent only a small section of a person’s life will continue in future biopics.

Our presenters are Matthew, Ben, Samantha and Jake. The episode was engineered and edited by Emily Main.

Let us know what your favourite biopic and what would you like to see on the CineClub Podcast in the future by using the email below or sending a message on our Instagram.

This episode was recorded and produced by the CineClub members at the University of Sunderland. Special thanks to our technical team and academic staff.
