Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and Cole Rush of The Quill to Live debut "Reelpolitik", a twelve-part miniseries focused on political films leading up to the 2020 election. The inaugural episode centers on Dave, Ivan Reitman's 1993 Capitol Hill fantasy in which a temp agency owner accepts an offer to stand in for the President of the United States, following a top secret disaster.
While reviewing this light, hopeful comedy, the guys dig into the difference between 1993 and 2019 political discourse, and offer their nuanced opinions on the act of voting. Also, Ian has an offer for listeners who want to chime in on future installments of "Reelpolitik"!
Episode 474 is the shining podcast on a hill!
