Some stories are too good to be true and others are too true to be good. Fortunately, this film is great, but the claims of the real Frank Abagnale Jr. are inconsistent and muddled at best and it's time to take a closer look. How much money did he fraudulently make? Did he escape through an aeroplane toilet? And how do I contact the FBI? Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!

Ah, jeez! This week we're defrosting the Coen Brothers' classic 90s crime caper, "Fargo" - a movie claimed in the opening scrawl to be based on true events, ooh yah… you betcha! But just how true? Did Jerry organise a bungled kidnapping of his wife? Was there really a murder involving a woodchipper? And who the heck is Paul Bunyan? Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!

It's the turn of arguably our 'greatest' film so far as we do one of my favourite things and track down the truths of the Von Trapps. Something good will come from our discoveries and I have confidence that we won't spoil its legacy when we climb ev'ry mountain of curiosity. Why did the children need a governess? Did the Baroness exist? And what is it Maria can't face? Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!

"When you're the best of friends you"… start a podcast about the veracity of movies. But surely this is a train bridge too far? A tale of two anthropomorphised animals in rural America with a basis in fact? This week we're keeping our noses to the ground to sniff out the truth. Was there really a fox and a hound with a vendetta? Did an old dog get led onto the train tracks on purpose? And can foxes really catch fish? Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!

Unfortunately, we can't spend a whole episode talking about 'The Departed', but we'll do our best to tie it into the discoveries we make about Johnny Depp's turn at Jimmy "Whitey" Bulger. Who was informing who? Did he really win the lottery? And what on earth is Jai Alai? Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!

Goooooood morning listeners! On this episode we take a look BTS between the US and the VC to discover all that was kept on the QT in this classic Robin Williams comedy. Did he really use THAT intro?

Come gather round people wherever you roam and listen to us as we fingerpick our way through the formative years of the great Bob Dylan in Hollywood's latest music biopic.

Welcome to Facebook. It was the film nobody thought needed making but we had a hunch a story about computer programmers falling out had to have been embellished somehow in some quarters. Did he make Facemash in one night? Did the Winklevoss Twins actually have a claim? And what exactly did Sean Parker even do?! Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!

Have that fly-spray ready as this week the boys take a look at the movie which started perhaps the most bonkers franchise in horror history. What really happened before the Lutzes arrived?

As a bonus treat this Valentine's Day, we're brushing up on our pickup lines and revisiting the classic date movie "50 First Dates". With real life inspirations which feel too close to the movie's storyline to just be coincidence, it's time to dig a little deeper. Did Lucy's memory reset every night? Was she really involved in a car crash? And what's with all the Reggae music? Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!

Surely one of the tallest collaborations was when Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Stephen Merchant tag-teamed to create this feel-good family film - but just how tall was this tale? Did Paige come from a wrestling family? Did The Rock give them a pep talk? And why is a man from Norwich an Arsenal fan? Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!

You are now about to witness the strength of film knowledge as we tackle our first music biopic.

With Robin Williams at the height of his power in the mid-nineties, a family friendly comedy with a heart of gold felt like a recipe for success. But just how close did it come to the real-life events? Was he almost kicked out of college? Did his girlfriend really get murdered? And did he moon at his graduation ceremony?

We’re not skating over anything this week as we unpick what on earth went on in 1994 as depicted in the Oscar-buzzed “I, Tonya”. The film admits from the off that some of the accounts are contradictory so we felt it was up to us to try and set the record straight. Whose idea was it? How difficult is a triple axel? And is Shawn Eckhardt really that ridiculous? Join us to find out on That’s Not How It Went Down!

This week, we’ve got all the required documents to explore the history behind Spielberg’s romcom “The Terminal”.

This week it’s time for a deep dive into the behemoth that is “Titanic”. Lauded for its scale and ambition, bringing this story to life was no mean feat. But how much of the wreck footage was actually used? Was this journey doomed from the start? And did Dunkin’ Donuts pay for some product placement? Join us to find out on That’s Not How It Went Down!
