Description |
Hollywood mid-level producers Bobby Gould and Charlie Fox engage in a verbal boxing match centred on the eternal debate of art versus money. Should Gould recommend to his unseen boss another bad action would-be blockbuster? Or should he put himself on the line for a film adaptation of a spiritual, uplifting, and apocalyptic novel? The office's temp acts as catalyst in this debate. |
