‘Hail, Caesar!’ Plot Summary

Hail, Caesar is 30 hours in the life of Eddie Mannix in 1951. As the head of physical production at Capitol Pictures, he spends most of that time as a fixer to keep the scandalous behavior of his stars out of the press. Hot on his tail are the twin sisters and rival gossip columnists named Thora Thacker and Thessaly Thacker. However, things spiral out of control when his unmarried synchronized swimming actress DeeAnna Moran gets pregnant. Then, someone drugs his biggest star, Baird Whitlock and abducts him. As he struggles to put these fires out, the Lockheed Corporation courts him with an offer for a high-level executive position, but Eddie has his reservations with joining them.

I think jona would love Barton Fink since she’s a writer.

A bit surprised you all liked this so much. To me it’s minor Coen.

Hey Chris, have you seen Sullivan’s Travels? The coens got the title oh brother from the film within a film there. It’s a classic, one of the best comedies from the 40s. Maybe you and Lori can review for your new show.

Will there be a review of O Brother on MHM? Bit surprised no one has picked a Coen Brothers yet.

IDK if O Brother will be on MHM. If not, it will be on Movie House Concessions…especially since it’s based on Homer’s Odyssey which is one of my favorite books.
