Film of the month: Bobby (2006)

On June 5, 1968, the day after winning the California Democratic primary for President, Robert F. Kennedy was shot and killed by a man named Sirhan Sirhan at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. The 2006 film Bobby, written and directed by Emilio Estevez, tells the interconnected stories of a group of fictional characters staying at the Ambassador Hotel the day Bobby was shot. The star-studded ensemble cast includes everyone from Anthony Hopkins and Demi Moore to Lindsay Lohan and Nick Cannon. We’re joined by comedian, Crooked Media writer, and Bobby Kennedy aficionado Julia Claire to discuss the highs and lows of one of the most confounding wannabe Oscar movies of the aughts.
