Bobby (2006) is what we call Oscar bait. Yet it didn't really go anywhere — critically or financially. With a star-studded cast and a simple enough premise — a look into the events leading up to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, through the eyes of the people at the hotel.
Sure, it's not gonna break the mold, but this should have been great. Instead director/writer Emilio Estevez gets lost in the details, allowing the story to drift between 22 different characters, and only tying it all together with the unavoidable assassination.
Also, this is our one year anniversary episode! Hooray!
