- Food is eaten by suspending it above one’s face, and lowering it sensually into one’s mouth.
- Togas worn despite social status, time of day, or whether it’s really sweaty or not.
- One big outdoor scene; everything else takes place indoors.
- Boots from the Second Century BC, swords from 150 AD, playing cards from wait there were no fucking playing cards for around 1700 years.
- Slavery, but not the depressing, racist kind.
- Characters named:
- Gaius.
- Drusilla.
- Gracchus. (Rich character only.)
- Chicken Piccata. (Delicious character only.)
- All men, despite the year, are clean-shaven and have George Clooney’s haircut from the first couple seasons of ER.
- Rich characters speak like Benedict Cumberbatch; poor ones, like a curry takeaway with an ASBO.
- Braziers fucking everywhere, man.
- Julius Caesar known as “The Conqueror of Gaul,” and not “The Guy Who Genocided Well Over A Million Proto-Frenchmen.”
- If you ask for Choccy Milk, no one will have any fucking idea what you’re talking about.

That would be ” Hail, Caesar! A Tale of the Christ” starring Baird Whitlock, as portrayed by George Clooney in “Hail, Caesar!”.
The first time I saw that film, I hated it. Now I love it.
Good to see TOtD back and in fine form, but I digress.
