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 answerโฆ is that really how it went down?

My mother and I sit down and watch a random cult classic movie, give listeners an overview and maybe a few opinions before we move on to talk about literally everything else. The gimmick is that I *love* movies and she hasn't seen a movie in a cinema since the 90s.

Mel Columcille Gerard Gibson was born on January 3, 1956, in Peekskill, New York. He was the sixth of eleven children in a devout Catholic family. When Gibson was 12 years old, his father, Hutton Gibson, decided to move the family to Australia. This relocation was motivated by Hutton’s concerns about the Vietnam War draft and his belief that Australia offered a safer and more stable environment for his children. Settling in Sydney, Gibson experienced significant cultural and environmental changes, which would later shape his identity. Gibson attended the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in Sydney, where he studied acting alongside future luminaries such as Geoffrey Rush and Judy Davis. While at NIDA, Gibson honed his craft and developed a reputation for his charismatic and intense performances. After graduating, he began his career in Australian television and theater, earning early praise for his dramatic range. Gibson’s breakout role came in 1979 when he starred as Max Rockatansky in George Miller’s Mad Max. The dystopian action film became a cultural phenomenon and cemented Gibson’s status as a rising star. The success of Mad Max spawned two sequels, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior in 1981 and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985, both of which were critical and commercial hits. These films showcased Gibson’s ability to balance action-driven roles with emotional depth, making him a household name. In addition to his action-hero persona, Gibson demonstrated his versatility as an actor in films like Gallipoli and The Year of Living Dangerously. Directed by Peter Weir, these films explored themes of loyalty, morality, and the human condition, earning Gibson critical acclaim and establishing him as more than just an action star. His move to Hollywood in the mid-1980s marked the next phase of his career. It was here that Gibson achieved global superstardom with the Lethal Weapon series, beginning in 1987. Starring as Martin Riggs, a brash and unorthodox police detective, Gibson brought humor, intensity, and vulnerability to the role. The chemistry between Gibson and co-star Danny Glover was a driving force behind the series’ success, leading to four installments by 1998. During this period, Gibson’s personal life also attracted public attention. In 1985, he was named People magazine’s first “Sexiest Man Alive,” further solidifying his status as a Hollywood icon. His fame allowed him to transition into directing, and his first feature film, The Man Without a Face in 1993, showcased his talent behind the camera. The film, in which Gibson also starred, was a modest success and served as a stepping stone to more ambitious projects. In 1995, Gibson directed and starred in Braveheart, a historical epic about the life of Scottish hero William Wallace. The film was a critical and commercial triumph, winning five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Gibson’s portrayal of Wallace and his direction of the film demonstrated his ability to balance grand storytelling with deeply personal and emotional moments. Braveheart remains one of his most celebrated works. Following the success of Braveheart, Gibson continued to challenge himself creatively. In 2004, he directed The Passion of the Christ, a depiction of the final hours of Jesus Christ’s life. The film, financed entirely by Gibson, became one of the highest-grossing independent films of all time. It was praised for its technical achievements and powerful storytelling but also faced criticism for its graphic violence and accusations of antisemitism. Despite the controversies, The Passion of the Christ solidified Gibson’s reputation as a risk-taking filmmaker unafraid to tackle complex and divisive subjects. However, Gibson’s career was not without significant setbacks. In 2006, he was arrested for driving under the influence and made antisemitic remarks during the incident. The public and industry backlash was swift, leading to a temporary decline in his career. This was compounded by a highly publicized domestic dispute in 2010, which further tarnished his public image. For years, Gibson remained on the fringes of Hollywood, with only sporadic acting roles in smaller films. Despite these challenges, Gibson mounted a career resurgence in 2016 with the release of Hacksaw Ridge. The film, a World War II drama about conscientious objector Desmond Doss, marked Gibson’s return to directing. Hacksaw Ridge received widespread critical acclaim and earned six Academy Award nominations, including Best Director for Gibson. The film’s success reminded audiences and critics of Gibson’s exceptional talent as a filmmaker. In recent years, Gibson has continued to work both in front of and behind the camera. In January 2025, he made headlines when his Malibu home was destroyed by wildfires while he was recording a podcast in Texas. Although devastated by the loss, Gibson expressed relief that his family and pets were safely evacuated. During the same podcast, he criticized the handling of California’s ecological crises, calling for more proactive measures to address the state’s wildfire problem. Gibson also provided updates on the long-awaited sequel to The Passion of the Christ. Titled The Resurrection of the Christ, the sequel is set to explore the events following the crucifixion, with a narrative that spans from the fall of the angels to the death of the last apostle. Gibson described the project as ambitious and transformative, hinting at a broader and more spiritual exploration than the first film. Throughout his career, Gibson’s personal life has been closely tied to his Catholic faith, which has influenced many of his creative choices. He was married to Robyn Moore from 1980 to 2011, and they have seven children together. After their divorce, Gibson had a daughter from a subsequent relationship. His family remains a central part of his life, and he has often spoken about the importance of balancing his professional and personal responsibilities. Mel Gibson’s legacy is a complex tapestry of artistic brilliance, personal controversy, and resilience. As an actor, director, and producer, he has left an indelible mark on the film industry, creating works that are celebrated for their emotional depth and technical mastery. At the same time, his public controversies have sparked debates about accountability, redemption, and the intersection of art and personal behavior. As Gibson continues to take on new projects, his career remains a subject of fascination, proving that his influence on cinema is far from over. This has been a Quiet Please production.

Mindy Kaling was born Vera Mindy Chokalingam on June 24, 1979, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her parents, Avu Chokalingam, an architect, and Swati Chokalingam, an obstetrician/gynecologist, immigrated from India. Growing up in a multicultural environment, Mindy showed an early interest in comedy and performing arts. She attended Dartmouth College, where she majored in playwriting and was a member of the improvisational comedy troupe, The Dog Day Players, and the a cappella group, The Rockapellas. She also interned on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," gaining early exposure to the entertainment industry.

Over the show's nine-season run, she wrote 26 episodes, including the acclaimed "Niagara," and directed several episodes. Her work earned her multiple nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series.

The show, which she wrote, produced, and starred in, showcased her unique voice and comedic talent. It ran for six seasons, moving to Hulu after its third season. "The Mindy Project" was praised for its witty writing and Kaling's performance as Mindy Lahiri, a quirky obstetrician navigating her professional and personal life. Continued Success and Ventures Kaling continued to expand her footprint in Hollywood, taking on a variety of projects. She co-created and produced the NBC sitcom "Champions" and the Netflix series "Never Have I Ever," which is inspired by her own childhood experiences. "Never Have I Ever" received critical acclaim for its authentic portrayal of a first-generation Indian-American teenager. In addition to television, Kaling has made significant contributions to film. She wrote, produced, and starred in the 2019 comedy "Late Night," opposite Emma Thompson. The film, which explores themes of diversity and sexism in the late-night talk show industry, was well-received and showcased Kalingโs ability to tackle serious issues with humor. Authorship Kaling is also a successful author, with two New York Times best-selling memoirs: "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)" (2011) and "Why Not Me?" (2015). Her books offer a blend of personal anecdotes and comedic essays, providing insights into her life and career with her characteristic wit and humor. Personal Life Kaling is known for her privacy, particularly regarding her personal life. In December 2017, she gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Katherine. In September 2020, she welcomed her second child, a son named Spencer. Kaling has chosen to keep the identity of her childrenโs father private.

As a pioneering woman of color in the entertainment industry, she has broken barriers and paved the way for future generations of diverse storytellers. Her work, both in front of and behind the camera, continues to inspire and entertain audiences around the world. In conclusion, Mindy Kaling's journey from a young comedy enthusiast to a celebrated writer, producer, and actress is a testament to her talent, determination, and unique voice.
