Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. (Also, anyone who thinks Hail Caesar! isn't great is a lunatic. Channing Tatum alone...)

Once you successfully make hail caesar not the most dismissed, can you do a followup on the most dismissed Burn After Reading?

Hail Caesar is my favorite Coen Bros. movie. A brilliant homage to Hollywood's glory days at the same time a satire of the McCarthy era. Thank you for elevating the discussion!
