This week, in our first ever "based on a true story" film covered on this podcast, we dissect the story behind Michael Mann's critically acclaimed film, The Insider. We talk about how they were able to get this film made even with Jeffrey Wigand being under NDA, what happened when Mann met one of the real-life producers of 60 Minutes when they were filming the movie, and why we think this might be one of the best journalism movies out there.&nbsp;
Next week: Disney's Inspector Gadget.&nbsp;
