Do we wish Dave was our President?
11/14/21 • 33 min
Today we are sharing the 1993 film, DAVE about a man who looks like the president so he momentarily stands in for him while he recovers from a stroke. This star studded film illustrates the idealism of what we expect from our administration.
[singing in the shower]
Dave: “Hail to the chief / He's the one we all say "Hail" to. / We all say "Hail" / 'Cause he keeps himself so clean! / He's got the power, / That's why he's in the shower..."
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- The logistics of the film’s premise
- The idealism of the film
- The budget reduction scene
- Our highest pause count ever!!

Today we are kicking off this month of political movies with a romantic comedy starring Seth Rogan and Charlize Theron. Theron plays the Secretary of State who is running for President and hires childhood chum played by Seth Rogan as her speech writer. And the romantic comedy hijinks occur.
Fred Flarsky: I feel like maybe you want me to kiss you right now but I don't want to make the same stupid mistake I made 25 years ago.
Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- The classic male gaze followed by her female gaze
- The relationship between the two of them
- The great scene when Fred discovers that they aren’t the only one’s in a relationship
- That time they did a Molly in Cartagena, Columbia
