On today’s episode of Talking Movies with My Mom, we take on the idea that truth is stranger than fiction with two movies based on real life stories – "Sully" and "Pain and Gain." We learn there’s no easy path to achieving the American Dream, that teamwork makes the dream work in overcoming any crisis, and that trying to get away with murder can be, well, murder.
