11: American Gangster, Part 1

Dave and Joanna talk about this fast-paced but very long film with so many cameos but maybe too many characters. Denzel gives a stellar performance as real-life gangster Frank Louis, but how much is real is up for debate . . . after all, gangsters aren’t known for being entirely truthful.  This episode is sponsored by: Raycon (https://www.buyraycon.com/tvh) Truth vs Hollywood’s theme is “Temples” by Six Umbrellas (http://www.sixumbrellas.de/) .
