| 2 | * HilariousInHindsight: |
| 3 | ** It can be funny seeing real-life husband and wife Tracy Letts and Creator/CarrieCoon acting alongside Creator/SarahPaulson, Letts ex-girlfriend. Must have been a surreal day on set. |
| 4 | ** Matthew Rhys plays Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers to ''The New York Times'' (and subsequently to ''The Washington Post''). In ''Film/TheReport'', he plays a ''Times'' reporter who tries to coax a government worker into leaking a controversial report to the paper. |
| 5 | * {{Narm}}: UsefulNotes/RichardNixon is portrayed with real audio from his recorded conversations, while an actor [[TheFaceless with his back to the camera]] hammily acts them out in a manner very reminiscent of the portrayal of George Steinbrenner on ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}''. |
| 6 | * SpiritualSuccessor: To both ''Film/AllThePresidentsMen'' (with which it shares both a setting and the RealLife character of Ben Bradlee, though it takes place years earlier) and ''Film/{{Spotlight}}'' (with whom it shares a co-screenwriter in Josh Singer). ''Film/{{Spotlight}}'' also features Ben Bradlee's son, Ben Bradlee Jr., in a supporting role. |
