'The Wolf of Wall St:' Truth or Fiction

Hosted by Kim Masters Jan. 09, 2014 Hollywood
The ethics of basing movies on true stories.

Kim and John discuss a number of films that have been based on true stories and weigh whether they are considered accurate representations of them. They mostly focus on Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street starring Leonardo Di Caprio as the con man Jordan Belfort, who ruined many people's lives and life savings. There's debate that audience backlash against the movie could hurt the film's box office or award's chances.
