"In our film's dramatic climax, L. Brent Bozell IV ('Zeeker' to his friends) is shown in a red baseball cap and blue sweatshirt lettered 'Hershey Christian Academy' (with which, that institution assures us, Zeeker is not affiliated) amid an angry crowd chanting 'treason!' inside an abandoned Senate chamber. The National Review brand of movement conservatism, launched 66 years earlier under the joint stewardship of Zeeker's namesake grandad and his great-uncle William F. Buckley, Jr. with the admonition to stand 'athwart history, yelling Stop,' now dissolves into violent insurrection as an FBI agent charges Zeeker with disorderly conduct. Fade to black, roll credits"
Timothy Noah at The New Republic depicts "[t]he Rise and Fall of the L. Brent Bozells."
