On tonight’s edition of Scottscope Talk Radio, the Roundtable reviews Straight Outta Compton!  Is it as good as the hype suggests?  Could it be F. Gary Gray’s best film to date?  Might it be the best Hip-Hop biopic released thus far?  Does it offer the real story of the villains in Black, or a diluted and sanitized version?  Is it more of a hagiopic than a biopic?  Does the direct involvement of Dr. Dre and Ice Cube compromise the integrity of the final product?  Should biopics be expected to tell the undisputed truth about their subjects?  Does the film offer a fair and balanced portrait of Jerry Heller and Marion “Suge” Knight?  Does it properly capture the popular zeitgeist of the late 1980’s and early 1990’s?  Can it be considered a feature length hate latter to police officers nationwide?
