Ep. 34: Absolute Power (1997) with Nima Shirazi

Have a seat in your favorite concealed armchair, because it's time for our episode on Eastwood's 1997 not-quite-Clinton crime family thriller ABSOLUTE POWER! We're joined by Nima Shirazi, co-host of the Citations Needed podcast, to break down the film's parallels to the not-yet-broken Lewinsky scandal, the William Goldman of it all, and whether this film is just Clint explaining that his absent parenting style is good, actually. Check it out! Topics include: Judy Davis's Hillary haircut, Clint's friend Leon Panetta, near-death experiences, live sports alibis, accidentally having chemistry with your real-life daughter, the film's surprising connection to JACKASS FOREVER, we devise a perfect plan to replace the US presidency with a completely incorruptible institution (jk), and more!
