The premiere of the new Hunter Biden film was as wild as you'd think
PoliticoThe new film produced by the conservative media empire Breitbart and released Tuesday had its first public viewing last Wednesday night at a small screening room inside a nondescript office building on South Sepulveda Boulevard, Los Angeles.
It was miles away from Tinseltown’s red carpets, literally and figuratively. In place of cocktails and expensive hors d’oeuvres were bottled water and pre-bagged “Corn Pop,” a wink at a story Joe Biden has often told about this youth in Delaware intermingling with the city’s Black population. “Corn Pop” was a real person, but sometimes, the president recounts it in ways that have drawn mockery.
The screening was followed by a trivia game about the film where the prizes for the 70 or so guests included a hefty-sized bong and Parmesan cheese. Both are references to Hunter Biden’s drug abuse, including his frank admission that he was so addicted to crack cocaine that he tried smoking everyone’s favorite spaghetti topping.
A representative promoting the film said beforehand that Oscar winner Jon Voight was set to attend, but he did not make it. The highest profile actors were Dean Cain, best known for playing Superman in “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” and Nick Searcy. Consider it the MAGA set for the movie industry. Searcy is a star of the show “Justified” who also recently produced a documentary on Jan. 6 called “Capitol Punishment.” Cain has played former FBI agent Peter Strzok in a stage play called “FBI Lovebirds” that was produced by one of the people behind “My Son Hunter,” Phelim McAleer.
