Description
Remember when you could talk about politics without it being hazardous to your health? We think we've found a loophole. Each episode, Ben and Eric take a deep dive into a fictional American president from film or TV, to see just how much fiction there really is. It's a podcast sorta about politics and kinda about pop culture, hosted by two former politicos turned TV writer/producers who'd much rather talk about real movies and fake politics than fake movies and real politics.
