Inspired by Hail, Caesar!, Trumbo and Karina Longworth’s outstanding (and ongoing) You Must Remember This series on the Hollywood Blacklist, we want to bring the past into the present.
What would happen if Congress decided to go after Hollywood in 2016 for being “anti-American”? Would they still attack Communism or widen their gaze? Would they even be able to wrangle the broad, diverse amount of movies being made? Would TV be on their main hit list?
This week, special guest host Joanna Robinson joins me to dig into this thought experiment and (hopefully) come out on the other side with our souls in tact. Listen to find out who we’re calling before the new House Un-American Activities Committee.
You should follow Joanna (@jowrotethis), the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on Twitter for more on a daily basis.
