Dan and Alonso look at two films that gather a quartet of famous people in a hotel for a memorable night -- Nicolas Roeg's 1985 INSIGNIFICANCE (where Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, and Joseph McCarthy cross paths in 1954) and Regina King's 2020 ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI (friends Malcolm X, Cassius Clay, Sam Cooke, and Jim Brown hang out and challenge each other in 1964).
