Both words apply to this meeting of the minds in 1970. All things are pure conjecture but oddly entertaining to the boomer crowd. Shannon made no vocal stylings in this film which I guess is good. BUT, Spacey went over the top in Nixon-styling which made him a comical character.
This film wasn't made to be serious and it was loaded with cultural gems and tons of snickers. Not so many laughs, snickers. This is an Amazon thing and that is most noticeable in the peripheral casting. Made on the cheap yet the subject is compelling enough to make one overlook it.
This is an odd popcorn kind of movie. Maybe a Slim Jim and beer movie.
