🎧 This is the audio version of our Alto Knights episode. For the full visual experience and commentary clips, check out our YouTube channel. In this TruVue Podcast episode, we explore the 2025 historical crime drama The Alto Knights. Directed by Barry Levinson and written by Nicholas Pileggi, the film follows the legendary conflict between mob figures Vito Genovese and Frank Costello—both played by Robert De Niro. Set in mid-century New York, the film portrays the internal power struggles of the American Mafia through a story rooted in real events. With dramatic tension and political maneuvering, The Alto Knights delves into the shifting dynamics of criminal leadership and legacy. We discuss the direction, dual performances, period detail, and how the film fits into the tradition of mob cinema. The central question: Sopranos or Altos? — does this story hit a high note or blend into the background of classic mob tales? We bring the barbershop talk to the box office. It's not about the review, it's the conversation with the crew. We keep it real on the reels. 🎥 The Alto Knights is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

In this episode, the crew at TruVue Podcast takes the heat head-on as we break down Trial by Fire, a true-crime biographical drama based on the controversial case of Cameron Todd Willingham. This one ain't your average courtroom flick — it's a deep dive into justice, race, class, and the flaws that can set the whole system ablaze. 🔥 Directed by Edward Zwick (Glory, The Last Samurai) and written by Geoffrey S. Fletcher (Precious), this 2019 film stars Jack O'Connell as Willingham, a Texas man accused of setting the fire that killed his three daughters. But as the trial unfolds and journalist Elizabeth Gilbert (played by Laura Dern) digs into the details, the truth becomes murkier than the smoke that started it all. This episode gets into the fire and fury of wrongful convictions, state executions, and how evidence can be twisted to fit a narrative. We ask the hard questions — not just about what happened, but why it keeps happening. It's not about the review, it's the conversation with the crew. We keep it real on the reels. 🔥 Trial by Fire is streaming now on Netflix. Watch it before listening — this episode is full of spoilers and real talk.
