A few days before Christmas in 1970, the King of rock-and-roll shows up at the White House lawn with a surprising request: to be deputized by the President himself as an agent-at-large. What follows turns a famous meeting into an offbeat, quirky conversation about fame, politics, and public image.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this witty, light historical comedy if you like oddball celebrity meetups and energetic banter in a 70s setting; Not for you if you want strict realism or a straightforward comedy, or if you expected something closer to Hyde Park on Hudson or The Lucky Ones.
Pros: sharp lead performances; period-true fun; often laugh-out-loud | Cons: uneven premise; some weird celebrity bits; polarizing portrayal
