B76 PREVIEW: The Menswear in "Hail, Caesar!" (2016)

This is a clip of the latest Bonus pod! For the full episode, please subscribe on Patreon. In this bonus, Spencer and Ethan talk about Mary Zophres's excellent costuming in "Hail, Caesar!" (2016). The film is an absurd send-up of Old Hollywood, offering vignettes of bygone genres (westerns, tux-and-gown dramas, biblical epics) while giving us a history lesson in the 50s studio system and a wacky Communist plot. By weaving through its plot points, "Hail, Caesar!" gives us a large swath of period menswear, in all its varied and vibrant glory, making you wonder why the hell we stopped dressing like this.
