Hail, Caesar!


Movie
: Hail, Caesar!
When: 7:45 PM, Saturday, March 12, 2016
Who With: JL, ST, CT and we ran into AW, AD, and LY
Movie Count: 20
Snacks: Pre-gamed it at the Bridge with JL, ST, and CT. Slices and TWO salads 'cause we healthy...and each couple split a popcorn. Also, that chipotle garlic salt we handed over to the Roxy is almost all gone and done making people cough. So, you're welcome and we're sorry.

Reaction: The fun old-timey splashy productions and studio movies within the movie are really fun. Not a ton of story to analyze, I don't think. Just fun, inconsequential communism.

Recommendation: Let’s Go! | Let it come to you  | Let it pass
Next Up: Embrace of the Serpent
