About two thirds of the way through Bernie Gordon's autobiography "Hollywood Exile or How I Learned to Love the Blacklist" and it's inspired me to watch Trumbo (it's on TVNZ+) enjoying Brian Cranston in this role Trumbo comes up a few times in Gordon's book https://t.co/o07Lv1VUp7

@DylanReeve That's a big theme of the book, and the first chapter especially. The book 'It Came From Something Awful' by Dale Beran which I cite a few times is a good read on this topic
