A screenshot from American Arcadia. Think 1970s. A man - Trevor - stands behind a podium ready to address an audience, with a TV screen hanging behind him. The room around him is all oranges and reds, and he has a moustache and glasses and longish frumpy hair. And a tank top. Don't forget the tank top.
