1. I have an idea for a Netflix series but don't know anyone in Hollywood. So the pitch: Yelling Stop: The Buckleys, the Bozells, & the American Century. Starring William F. Buckley, L. Brent Bozell, Franco, Goldwater, Kissinger, Thatcher, Reagan, the Bushes etc.

7. Buckley accuses Bozell of being a theocrat, Bozell accuses Buckley of being a sellout pushing a domesticated conservatism friendly to establishment. Covertly, Buckley keeps sending money to sister to pay for education of Bozell kids.

8. WFB increasingly scared of Bozell Jr. & Patricia's descent into belligerence & alcoholism as they advocate attacking abortion clinics. Populist/establishment divide on right opens up. E. Howard Hunt comes to Buckley with Watergate story.

9. Death & Resurrection. In 1980s WFB feted as as eminence grise of Reagan & Thatcher, while Bozell Jr. & Patricia abandoned conservative politics for charity work. Bozell works with refugees & prisoners.

10. Death & Resurrection Part II. Bozell dies in obscurity, Buckley in fame. Cut to 2020: scenes of young Catholics taking up Bozell's integralism, priests Bozell trained in Spain rising in hierarchy, attacking National Review as sell out, Bozell IV rioting on Jan. 6. The end.

11. Anyway, there's a lot more to Buckley/Bozell story (see my piece here). But that's the main outline. Hollywood, call me!https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/bozell-buckley-right-violence/ …

You should find a way to work in a supporting role for Garry Wills.

Yeah, Wills will be the left-counterpoint to Bozell in season 3.

Don’t forget the season where L. Brent Bozell the 3rd establishes the Parents Television Council. The PTC is one guy (him) continually watching hot sex scenes on network tv & then complaining about them.
