233. Dave

Welp, we made it through the election relatively unscathed and certainly happier than the 2016 election! So we thought it was apropos to do a political comedy and we picked Dave! From 1993, directed by Ivan Reitman (of Ghostbusters fame) and starring Kevin Kline as presidential look-a-like Dave Kovic. Dave impersonates the president and then finds himself the actual president after real President Bill Mitchell has a heart attack and falls into a coma after an aggressive boning sesh with his secretary! While the president's chief of staff think he's just a dopey gooder, turns out Dave actually makes a much better president and intends to really use this new platform he has to better the country. This one has a great cast and is super clever and fun and while it may capture a very sunny, optimistic politics is mostly good side of things, we'll take it, especially in this crazy political world we have now. We'll talk about how great we think Kevin Kline is, how we'd decorate the Oval Office if we were president, and Sweetie gives us all a history lesson about the time that Woodrow Wilson was basically incapacitated just like Bill Mitchell!
