Important Questions (About Movies) for Trump's Incoming Treasury Secretary

So, Steven Mnuchin is going to be Trump's pick for Treasury Secretary. I don't have particularly strong feelings about Dodd-Frank or anything like that—what do I look like, some kind of nerd?—but I do have very strong feelings about the fact that he has served as executive producer (read: financier) of a number of films over the last few years.

In lieu of serving as an official adviser to the Senate Finance Committee—senators, please, quit calling me, it's embarrassing, I'm a journalist, I can't help you with this and I don't want my emails showing up in the forthcoming batches of Russian hacker email dumps—I'll offer some unofficial advice about what questions you should pepper Mnuchin with. I'll be honest: I'm not convinced he's right for this role.

OK, that's a start. Steven Mnuchin has much to answer for. Feel free to tweet more questions at me. I'll pass them on to the appropriate Senate staff.
