King Richard
from Real Movies Fake History with Gari and Mel · host Gaz and Mel
We critique the true history behind Will Smith's Oscar winning performance in King Richard, where he plays Richard Williams, the father and coach of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams. We talk about the real reason the family moved to Compton, the complexity of the real people that the movie leaves out, and ask ourselves how the movie holds up against the real story. We also fit in a great Rotten Tomatoes game where Mel gets to guess the scores of Will Smith's filmography! If you like the show, we'd love it if you'd support us and leave us a REVIEW and SUBSCRIBE.
