Welcome back Reel Friends! We're kicking off November with an absolute masterpiece of a film. At the end of our last spooky episode of the season, our hosts Alex and Walker returned to their run of the mill wheel and were gifted the category of Movies Based On Real Events. Not too long ago, the boys did an episode on biopics. Keeping that in mind, they wanted a movie that focused more on an event, as opposed to one singular person. This lead our hosts to choose the 2015 Best Picture winner, Spotlight. "In 2001, editor Marty Baron of The Boston Globe assigns a team of journalists to investigate allegations against John Geoghan, an unfrocked priest accused of molesting more than 80 boys. Led by editor Walter "Robby" Robinson (Michael Keaton), reporters Michael Rezendes (Mark Ruffalo), Matt Carroll and Sacha Pfeiffer interview victims and try to unseal sensitive documents. The reporters make it their mission to provide proof of a cover-up of sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church." Thank you for joining us and listening to this week's episode of Spin The Reel!
