9). “If You Have To Use The ‘F’ Word, Go For The Gold” - “My Fellow Americans” (1996)

Welcome to The Chick-Lit (And Movies) Podcast 🎙️🍿, where we proudly lower our expectations for cinema so you don’t have to 🙃✨ Each month, we cover two films: one critically beloved 🏆 and one absolute disaster 🔥🗑️ This week, the Chicks 🐥 hit the campaign trail with My Fellow Americans (1996) 🇺🇸🚁 — the political buddy comedy that asks, “What if the only people who could save democracy were two former Presidents with unresolved issues and the energy of a divorced couple on a road trip?” 🚗💨 Join us as we unpack government conspiracies 🕵️‍♂️📁, exploding helicopters 💥🚁, accidental Pride parade attendance 🌈🎺, and enough quotes to fill your decaf cup of coffee ☕️ 🇺🇸. Jack Lemmon and James Garner somehow transform mutual hatred into one of cinema’s greatest grumpy-old-man friendships while federal agents everywhere have the worst work week of their collective lives 😩🕶️ Also featuring surprise Wilford Brimley 👨🏻‍🦳, Dan Aykroyd as President instead of busting ghosts 👻, and perhaps the most unhinged funeral speech ever committed to film: 🎵 Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam, do the jitterbug out in Muskrat Land… 🎵 So grab a cup of coffee ☕ (just don’t make it decaf, you pussy), put on your finest cardigan 🧥, and join us as we break down My Fellow Americans 🎬🇺🇸 _____________________________________________ If you want to support The Chicks, check out their Social Media: Instagram: @chicklitpod Bluesky: @chicklitpod.bsky.social Twitter: @chicklitpod Gmail: [email protected] Merch: https://chick-lit-podcast.crea...
