The Manchurian Candidate

Send us Fan MailPolitics is something we like to stay away from in our episodes, not that we don't have our own strong opinions on this topic.  Our new theme, "Hello, Mr. President" presented some challenges in this regard when it came to our picks and what topics to discuss but who doesn't like a challenge?Coming in this week is the original 1962 release of The Manchurian Candidate starring Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey and Janet Leigh.  The film follows an American POW in the Korean War who is brainwashed as an unwitting assassin for an international Communist conspiracy. We discuss a bit about why we don't talk politics here before getting into the topic of AI misinformation and go through a scenario about imaginary presidential ethics.
