Bob Roberts (1992)

Adam (@strugglinguncle) is back, how 'bout that? We talk about the odd, but effective mix of mockumentary and comedy in Tim Robbins' written/directorial debut, Bob Roberts (1992). Somehow both clairvoyant, and not yet clairvoyant enough, the film depicts an unhinged, but charismatic right wing politician, and charters the rise of his campaign against the sitting incumbent Democrat, Brickley Paiste (played by Gore Vidal). Did you ever want to hear an anti-drug campaign song in the styling of Bob Dylan?
