This week, we discuss Clint Eastwood's latest directorial effort, Richard Jewell. This biopic tells the story of a security guard Richard Jewell, who alerted authorities to a bomb... only to be accused of planting it there himself. This follows a recent string of films based on true stories that Clint Eastwood have helmed - so we talk about the appeal of these stories, and whether this film works on its own strengths.
