      I watched Casablanca recently again and was struck by how all of the main leads would have been persecuted in the USA after the war for “Premature Anti-Fascism”. Even the Corrupt French Cop.

    When I become CEO of Hollywood I’m gonna make a buddy-cop comedy where the ghost of John Brown and the ghost of Ned Kelly team up to kill Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton or someone like that, while having to get a baby back to its parents.
