A funny story is that several cable systems during this fight went blank for a brief period and switched onto a porn movie.
Dallas GridleyHOST
What? Apparently some of the cable systems switched it to porn in the middle of this match.
Mike LukeHOST
Because when you think of what a king of Scotland looks like, you think of Forrest Whitaker.

It was a British...
Corey ColemanHOST
Man, the director.
Corey ColemanHOST
Kevin MacDonald did The Last King of Scotland.
Corey ColemanHOST
I mean, that was like 40 years ago.
Corey ColemanHOST
Damn, when you put it that way.
Martin ThomasHOST
But you're not seeing people who've been in the industry working for decades.
Corey ColemanHOST
Martin, what do you think this is, man? Is it just...

Is it just the nature of the way people are working within certain things? Like this, you know, he did The Last King of Scotland.
Corey ColemanHOST
That was a movie that was meant for theatrical release.
Russell HowardHOST
...
Russell HowardHOST
he was playing Idi Amin, and the film was The Last King of Scotland.
Jon RichardsonHOST
It was The Grinch.
Russell HowardHOST
Ah.
Jordan HoffmanHOST
And then he's made other movies like this, which are not documentaries.
Jordan HoffmanHOST
For example, The Last King of Scotland is probably the most famous, which won Forrest Whitaker the Oscar.
Jordan HoffmanHOST
It's about Idi Amin.
Jordan HoffmanHOST
Oh, which actually come to think of it, we talked about it a little bit because we did that whole episode about the Entebbe raid.

LewisHOST
And whilst his co-star James McAvoy may just be the invention of an author, the events that his character witnessed are often, sadly, far too real.
LewisHOST
The Last King of Scotland.
LewisHOST
Is that really how it went down? It was a story so incredible,
speaker_8ADVERTISER
Hollywood took notice.
ElliotHOST
So you're telling me that it's like a fictionalised account through the eyes of this sort of random Scotsman as to the atrocities of Idi Amin and his government.
ElliotHOST
Yes.
LewisHOST
And yes, it's a novel by Giles Foden in 1998 called The Last King of Scotland.
LewisHOST
And a lot of Idi Amin's behaviour and what he did and that ends up in the film is accurate.
