I watch a lot of biopics, a lot of true crime a lot of stories based on stories and it's a very mixed bag. Some are glorious and detailed and unfold a life you could only wish to live and so dive vicariously through the window into them.

Others are trashy and awful car crashes which you cannot look away from and some are dramatic over exaggerations of what in reality are very simple events and some. Some are just bad, badly told badly done bad.

I recently watched "The founder" which is about mcdonalds and stars a favorite actor of mine Michael Keaton and I couldn't place it in my above categories. It felt wrong it felt a little bit forced and really I couldn't figure out what it actually wanted to say so this week i sit down for a little media critical thinking as i think why we like these genres and why this one just was not right.
