Long Shot (2019)
from The Weekly Movie Throwdown
This month on the podcast we're all about the American President. And while that might be a dicey subject in real life, the ones we're looking at harken back to a simpler time—one that didn't actually exist. These are all made-up presidents in films that span the past thirty or so years. The office has changed a lot in that time, and so has how it's portrayed on screen. We'll talk about rom-coms, dramas, and even action-adventures. Starting things off this week is Long Shot, the 2019 film from director Jonathan Levine and starring Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen. ____________________STILL TO COME DURING R-RATED ROM-COM MONTH:3/10: Dave (1993)3/17 Rewatch & Reconsider: The Distinguished Gentleman3/24 The American President (1995)3/31 Air Force One (1997)On Letterboxd?
