** Orton also attempts to Get Crap Past the Radar in-universe by suggesting HoYay-laden scenes for his Beatles screenplay. The idea is unequivocally shot down by the band's manager Brian Epstein, in a scene played for maximum irony given that Epstein himself was also gay and was frequently the subject of rumors regarding his interest in the band members.
