Matthew McConaughey and Captain America Watch TV

Captain America and True Detective Matthew McConaughey (aka “Russ”) are in a windowless room watching television. The walls are gray. Captain America, it is important to note, is NOT in uniform. He’s in an uncomfortable-looking chair to the left of Russ, who is on a little couch. The TV is one of those old deals that weighs a hundred pounds and is two-feet deep. They’re riveted by whatever’s on the screen. As you zoom in on the scene, you can see that they’re watching “Dallas Buyers Club,” which is weird, right? Because Russ looks like a healthier version of the dude in the movie. You can hear Russ talking to Captain America. “You maght think this is entertahning or something, but it hits too close to home for me,” Russ says. Captain America nods. He looks like he wants to run away. Russ continues to narrate and you’re sucked into the action on the television. He’s a voiceover now, and you’re trapped watching scenes from his life while he drawls. &l
