I Don't Speak German

Another in our series of election year chats about movies about presidents. By patron request, Daniel and Jack watch and discuss 1999's neo-screwball teensploitation 70s-nostalgiafest Dick, in which two teenage girls - Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams - accidentally find themselves befriending Richard Nixon (Dan Hedaya) and becoming entangled in Watergate. It's terribly fun. Full episode exclusive for Patreon subscribers.

Daniel and Jack sit down across from each other in brown leather armchairs and ruthlessly interrogate each other about their many crimes. We also continue our election year series on movies about (or at least mentioning) US Presidents by talking over the deeply mid 2008 Ron Howard movie Frost/Nixon, an almost entirely fictional account of some TV interviews in which a chat show host helped a mass murdering crook present himself to the world as a thoughtful and moral person, to enormous acclaim.

We talk about the second apparent attempt on trump's life, and why the Right's discourse about it is hypocritical bullshit.  Then our main topic: the racist pogroms incited in Springfield, OH, by Trump and Vance's racist blood libels (via Blood Tribe and Chris Rufo), featuring the KKK and the Proud Boys.  Features a surprise clip from Mike Enoch over at TDS. Then a couple of other stories.  Rich Lowry, editor in chief of National Review, accidentally forgets to not say the hard-R on Megyn Kelly's show; Bret Weinstein clever theory about Kamala's earrings and what They want him to think about them, Tim Pool and Ukraine (again).

It's Joever!  But there's no way to pun 'Kamala Harris' with 'beginning'.  There just isn't.  So we're probably fucked, as usual. In another News Brief episode, hot on the heels of the last one for some unfathomable reason, Daniel and Jack - both mired in mixed feelings - chat about Biden quitting the 2024 Presidential race, Joe 'cheese pizza' Biden himself, the immediate 'annointing' of Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement on the Dem ticket, the Dems being effective (if cynical) for once, Trump (again), the assassination attempt (again), J.D. "couch and/or dolphin fucker" Vance (again), Project 2025, some of the Right's first attempts to find a line of attack on Harris...  All that junk. P.S. Jack only just realised he unwittingly plagiarised the term 'News Brief' from the Citations Needed podcast.  Please don't sue.  And if you do, sue Daniel.

We recorded an episode about the 1996 film Independence Day, because we're looking at movies about the American presidency, and how better to do that than to embrace the cheesy human genocide/American exceptionalist pornography than this entry into the Devlin/Emmerich oeuvre? Spoiler alert: this is deeply stupid, but we both kinda like it anyway.

We continue our election year series on movies about the US President, with a chat about Ivan Reitman's Capraesque 1993 political-romantic-comedy-drama-satire(???) Dave, starring Kevin Kline as a lovable goofball Presidential lookalike who ends up actually pretending to be the President, kindasorta accidentally pulling off a (well-meaning) one-man coup d'état, enmeshed in the plots of the evil White House Chief of Staff (Frank Langella), and falling in love with the First Lady (Sigourney Weaver).  Full episode exclusive for Patreon subscribers.
