Episode notes
There’s more to a great biopic than simply depicting a chronology of events from a subject’s life. As guest Mychael Chinn makes clear in this episode, there are many factors that can impact a story, from the framing, decisions about what to include, or not include, and even legal issues that may restrict what a filmmaker can do if they want to avoid a lawsuit. Plus, jarrett tells about where he’s at in his mental health journey now that he’s past a major writing deadline.

About the show
Sometimes the people, places, and things we love don’t love us back. We’re fans, but we also have some ANTI- feelings toward them. Every week on FANTI, journalists Tre’vell Anderson and jarrett hill bring their pop culture and political expertise to things we must stan and stand up against. FANTI is a place where nuance reigns supreme with energetic, complicated, and sometimes difficult conversations that bring deep knowledge and thoughtful perspective to the things we love and rage about, from the White House to the Real House(wives).
