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.
