Whats the connective tissue, or real life moral panic, between golden era Hollywood \"we've got to put on a musical revue show to stop snidely whiplash from foreclosing on the orphanage\" and post new Hollywood \"we've got to host a house party to stop the property developer from demolishing the teen rec center\"
