Hail, Caesar! (w/ Andy Boyd)
Update: 2025-07-25
Description
Rivka and Frank are joined by Brooklyn-based playwright Andy Boyd to talk about the Coen brothers’ 2016 movie Hail, Caesar!. They get into the film’s portrait of 1950s Hollywood, its sharp send-up of the capitalist studio system, and what it reveals about the uneasy marriage of religion, politics, and mass entertainment.
For next week’s movie, we’ll be watching the 2014 horror movie It Follows.
