Sticking with last episode’s theme, we’ll continue looking at period pieces and films that utilize and examine history. Three of the films in this episode detail historic events — the inception of a social media platform, innovation on the baseball diamond and investigative journalists uncovering a scandal involving the Catholic Church. But the fourth film — which is the one we’ll be leading off this episode with — deals more with historical fiction. 1:42 - 20:27: National Treasure (Lucy Peterson) 20:28 - 42:41: The Social Network (Wyatt Hall) 43:04 - 1:14:11: Moneyball (Elmer Guardado) 1:14:12 - 1:46:02: Spotlight (Scott Chasen)
