That's Not How It Went Down

Auteur(s): Lewis Howard & Elliot Fitzpatrick
  • Résumé

  • Many movies claim to be 'based on a true story', but how much truth actually makes it onto the silver screen?

    Whilst one of us queries the less believable moments from the film, the other takes a deep dive into the fact behind the fiction to educate us and answer… is that really how it went down?

  • 'The French Connection' (1971)
    May 6 2025
    With the recent passing of the legendary actor Gene Hackman, it felt only right to revisit the most iconic performance from his stellar career. His turn as Popeye Doyle not only won him an Academy Award, but cemented his place among the greatest actors of his generation. But as the public were introduced to this rough and ready NYPD narcotics detective it begged the question; just how much of the story was true? Did a French TV star hide drugs in his car? Did Popeye dress as Santa during stakeouts? And did they really pick their feet in Poughkeepsie? Join us to find out on That's Not How It Went Down!
